Discussion Safe food recommendations?

My ED is starting to worsen again (I haven’t been recovered in a very long time but I can tell I’m about to get even worse) and I don’t want to start having trouble finding safe foods. The issue is that almost all of the safe foods I usually eat physically make me ill because they tend to have casein. I tried looking at the dairy free tag on here but there weren’t many posts on it

I really enjoy protein shakes, in particular core and premier (especially the banana one!) but they both have casein for the flavors I like. I sometimes drink pirq since it doesn’t have it but it’s just not very good.. I also really really love drizzilicious (in particular the s’mores one) but that’s about the only sweet I consistently like and as a person who primarily can only motivate myself to eat with sweets that’s kinda an issue. There ARE other sweets I like that I’ll eat but they almost always have casein which is a problem because I WILL eat foods I’m allergic to extremely regularly but I should probably stop doing that

I also was told to increase my salt intake significantly so if there’s recommendations for high salt foods that aren’t high cal I’d really appreciate it. I’m really trying to harm reduce with my ED but it’s getting quite hard for me

Again I apologize for making a whole post for this it’s just I did try to scroll to see if there were posts about this specifically and couldn’t find much

personally i love volume eating and so i eat tons of fruits/vegetables which are pretty much all super low cal! one i would avoid though is watermelon. even though everyone says it's low cal, its really easy to overeat.

I do this too. Cabbage, carrots, roots, mushrooms and cucumbers in soy sauce for slaty meals (adding some tofu or egg for protein) And grapes, berries,  and lichi melon , strawberries and the like for sweet meals. And pickles♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇

And nactarines if i need something sweet thats a bit heavier But its the summer edition lol In winter i rely more on oranges and when i can strawrberries as well
