Shredded Chicken Bowl with Guacamole, Red Onion, and Cilantro

My Symptom check-in

POTS: I had dizziness when I stood up and my heart rate jumped fast. I wanted something salty and high-protein that would not sit heavy. I salted the chicken and the guac.

Vestibular migraine: No vestibular migraine symptoms today - no vertigo, no nausea, no light sensitivity.

Lupus: No lupus symptoms today - no joint pain or stiffness. I just wanted a quick meal.

Disorder safety check

Condition	Works?	Why
POTS	Yes	Salt + protein + fat supports steadier energy and blood volume goals
Vestibular migraine	Conditionally	Onion can trigger some people; guac is usually fine but keep it simple if you are sensitive
Lupus	Yes	Whole-food, low processing; easy prep

Ingredients (1 bowl)

• 1 to 1.5 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works)

• 1/2 avocado, mashed (or 1/3 cup guacamole)

• 2 to 3 tbsp finely chopped red onion

• Handful of cilantro, chopped

• Salt and pepper

Optional add-ons (choose based on tolerance):

• Lime (skip if migraine-triggering)

• Greek yogurt or sour cream

• Rice or tortilla chips if you need carbs

Steps

1. Add shredded chicken to a bowl.

2. Top with guac, red onion, and cilantro.

3. Salt aggressively if you are targeting POTS support. Add pepper if tolerated.

4. Eat as-is, or add rice/chips if you need a carb.
