Breakfast - not going to happen. I'm hoping to get up from one meal a day to two meals a day, not three. Vitamins, again, sounds like a good idea, given rlpw's advice, so I'll probably try that. No breakfast, though - I've
never been a breakfast person. And I don't care that much what studies say.

I love salads and fruit, so that's not it.
Thanks for your advice, either way - I know my responses are largely cynical here, but that's because I know what I eat isn't that much the problem, simply because that's always "been the same"; it's more the amount.
What I haven't so far mentioned ('cause I wasn't aware of it) - The bloaty-stomach thing might just be a side-effect of eating too little
coupled with my period, because that was the time it was most prominent in. It's less extreme right now. I had the impression it was just getting worse and worse, but as it's gone back in frequency a whole lot now after my period ended, I think that's a strong indicator in favour of hormones fucking around with me a bit, too.
So I'm
slightly less fretting - but I still want to try what rlpw suggested, because that sounds just like what I need.
