Cottage‑Cheese & Egg Power Bowl

Why I eat it

The cottage cheese supplies about 450 mg of sodium and solid protein in one scoop—just enough to nudge blood‑volume when a mild POTS dizzy spell creeps in. The eggs add another 12 g of protein plus choline for mental clarity. It’s a fast, utensil‑light snack I can assemble at my desk with zero stovetop time.

(Neutral for lupus; dairy can be a vestibular‑migraine trigger for some—skip or swap if that’s you.)
