I had a new client with Parkinson's Disease come in and order weekly meals. Her problem is that she can't have any (or very little- 3gr) protein a day. I put together a menu for her, but I'm not comfortable with it. It seems that protein affects her medication. She said she can eat some if she eats it right before she goes to bed, but if she eats it during the day, she can't walk.
Okay, I get that she can't eat any meat, dairy, soy, etc., but there's protein in grains, too. My menu for her consists of things like Asparagus Mushroom Stew over ?? some grain, Pad Thai (with rice noodles), Ratatouille over ??, Eggplant Parm sans the cheese, VEgetarian Shep Pie...and about 15 others along the same lines.
She lives on salads and is looking for something different. I had hoped to add some grains or pastas to the recipes so she could have something more than veggies. Any ideas? My usual individual servings usually consist of a protein, veg, and starch. With her special diet, I obviously can't do the protein, nor, so it seems, much of the starch.
I really appreciate your thoughts on this.
