I'm tired of eating eggs (22f, 5 feet, 60kg, prediabetic)
Hi, so I'm 22f, 60kg, 5 feet in height, sedentary, recently diagnosed prediabetic as I got my hba1c tested (my identical twin had got hers tested 10 days ago and hers came 5.9 which was shocking because she is 55 kgs despite having more muscle than me, she's been gymming since 2-3 years, 10k steps daily, and has a lean figure) so I got mine tested and it was 5.8 which is obviously not good and in the pre diabetic range. The other hormones I got checked are as follows: fasting blood sugar 94.2, TSH thyroid - 2.88, fasting insulin- 7.03. Obviously, the the fasting blood sugar is also borderline, but everything else except hba1c seems ok.
Since 2-3 months, I was anyway trying to lose weight, mostly through diet control and had outside food like maximum once a week, through "ghar ka khaana". Mostly the weight I've gained in the last 3-4 years (used to be 50 kgs) has been mostly through me eating high caloric food that I made at home myself, or junk food like chips etc like homemade pancakes, sandwiches, french fries, putting cheese on everything, brownie etc. So I stopped that also for the past 2-3 months.
I used to avoid eating in the morning sometimes and would not eat for 4 hours, because eating would make me so tired it would make me useless. Now I've realized this was a horrible strategy and most likely made my pre diabetes worse because then I would over eat at lunch and the glucose spike and crash made me even more lethargic. So, since I got this news like a week ago, I've been consciously trying to eat more protein. Although, there is no stigma of non veg in my house bc I'm muslim, I myself preferred to eat more carbs as it just tasted better to me (like I'm ok eating the biryani rice without meat, good roti with criminally low amount of sabzi/meat). I stopped eating rice more than 2 times a week since 2-3 months bc I realized I would get into almost a comatose state (like nashe waali neend) after eating it, especially in the afternoon.
So, what I've been doing is I've been having 2 boiled eggs, almost like a salad before each of my 3 meals, then having carrot and cucumber as veg, some combination of chicken and paneer as my protein, and having like 2 rotis. So, this is what I eat for lunch and dinner, for breakfast I'll have a single egg omelette with roti and have fruit. I know it's just been a week but I'm so tired of eating eggs. I've eaten more than 10 eggs in this week easily. In my house, there's only chicken and mutton made but my issue is I get bored of any protein if I'm having it more than thrice a week. Idk what to do. I dont know how veg ppl even get enough protein. I know fish is an option but it's too much of a hassle to cook. Someone pls help, advice from short girls who became fit will be much appreciated.
