Diet for CFS/Fibro (27 Years)
I've been eating meals from a pre-made meal company and it helped me lost 50 lbs. since December 2022, but I can't afford it any more. The meals I chose were a mix of Calorie Smart and Keto, less Keto because of the fat content. Is anyone out there dealing with being hypoglycemic, having no gall bladder and low Vitamin D…

Nutrition inaccuracies
Please don’t rely on the nutritional data of foods in this app, double check before accepting. As the foods are added by users there is a risk of errors. For example, I looked up Alpro Blackberry and Raspberry yogourt. The label states 0.3gm per 100gm of salt but the app says 0.3mg, 1/1000th of the actual amount!…

The Bacon Case
Guilty as charged; I like by bacon 3x a week. Ideally I should replace it by something like oatmeal or beans, I know. The bacon I used to buy was reported to have 210cal per 2 slices. However I bought some from Costco (Kirkland), the slices are bigger (67g raw). I weighted them this morning and it was 64g. Cooked in paper…

Cheap plant-based sources of healthy fats?
Hi friends, hope you’re well! I’m wondering about cheap sources of healthy plant-based fats, if possible. I know about nuts, but I’m on a pretty tight food budget, and I can’t really afford them a lot of the time. I also like avocados, but I get tired of them pretty easily after a couple weeks.
