Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), and patients taking it should avoid foods high in tyramine to prevent hypertensive crises. Tomato soup and grilled chicken breast are low in tyramine, making them safe choices. Avocado, bologna, and alcoholic beverages like wine and beer are high in tyramine and should be avoided.
