Not sure if anyone in here relates to this, but when I'm nervous about
something, I have trouble eating. The thought of the regular foods
that love, make me want to gag. I know that I need to eat, but for the
life of me, I open up the fridge and just want to gag.

Do any of you have particular foods that you eat during stressful times
(and I'm not talking about chocolate, cake and all the other sugar
laden stuff that in a way is somewhat appealing :-)

To add to this conundrum, I'm also a vegatarian and a low carb(er).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Tea with honey and lemon. The honey gives you a few calories, even tho
you low-carb,and the combination is quite soothing and may calm your
tummy enough to work up to something else.

Usually one tries dry toast or crackers with such a stomach. This,
too, may be out of your realm. You can attempt a soft-boiled egg if
you are ovo-lacto.

Learn to eat a properly balanced diet that included meat and carbs and
maybe you wouldn't develop a nervous stomach.

Chocolate. Chocolate in chocolate sauce, with a sprinkling of chocolate
flakes.

Preferably in a chocolate bowl, with a chocolate spoon.

Simple cream broths for me.......

Veggie stock broth, salted to taste, add a bit of heavy cream.
Make the stock from non-starchy veggies to include celery, onion,
garlic, ginger, parsley, cabbage, broccoli and mushrooms.

Maybe a bit of tomato but not too much. The acid from tomatoes might
upset a nervous stomach.

Fresh ginger is soothing.

I'd use chicken personally, but you said you were veggie/low carb.

Those two don't go well together as a general rule. G

Hell, just down a shot of vodka. lol

That is not exactly easy on the stomach, unless you make a "white
russian" and mix it with heavy cream, but it's low carb and
vegetarian....... ;-D

Cream is not vegetarian unless you use coconut cream.

That'll calm your nerves!

I was going to suggest cream of wheat, it's what I eat when i am too nervous
or sick to eat regular food, but I don't know how that fits with the carb
thing.

Nonsense. One has nothing to do with the other.

Why would I eat meat if I think it tastes disgusting? Thanks for your
help, but perhaps you don't understand that some folks don't like the
taste of dead animal.

broths with some veg, maybe some noodles

A few small cubes of tofu floating in a broth made from seaweed.
Normally the bonito flakes would be part of the equation but since you
are veg leave them out.

That sounds good! Actually it reminded me of miso soup which I forgot
all about. Miso is totally good for settling stomachs. Thanks!

tofu in there too.
