I'm having a hard time reaching my protein goal for the day. Any secrets?0

All foods, but I love authentic Mexican.
French Culinary Institute in NYC.
Poissonnier.
Protein = protein powder (a convenience food, but keep in mind that it is processed). Any type of meat, fish, dairy, nuts, seeds, eggs, beans, lentils.0 -

hmmm... so, no, right?
Yeah, that's what I figured from my readings
He asked me because he sees that I'm all into nutrition and stuff, but I honestly'd never heard of canola oil.
Thnks for the chart!! I'll just email him this0 -
Organic canola is okay. I'm not a big fan of hopping on the organic bandwagon because most of the time it is a lot of hippy bullcrap, but in the case of cooking oil, the more unrefined, pure, organic, the better.
For that chart, stay away from the red and orange.0 -
Hi i have a Overactive thyroid quite bad (also Graves disease - which effects the eyes). im on meds, my body temperature is sky high, no energy my immune system is effected, my hair nails break and a million other symptoms, i was wondering if theres any types of food that could help me build up my immune system, energy, etc as cant find anything on @. I cant eat heavy foods as to heavy on my stomach due to it.0

I forgot to say i have a P.T as struggling to lose weight and need protein etc0

Part fad, part truth.
It does contain a moderate amount of medium-chain triglycerides, which are beneficial to energy. It is high in lauric acid, which has proven benefits. The trick is buying the right kind.... virgin, expeller-pressed, unrefined, NOT hydrogenated, protective dark container which isn't struck by light.0 -

Unfortunately, I am not qualified to answer this. You should find a qualified doctor with a lot of experience with nutrition and the immune system. If it is any help, I listed some basic foods above that are high in protein.0 -

lol, agree on the organic hippy bc point of view. And also agree that in oils it's something to consider, especially if being consumed raw too, right?
I use a good quality olive oil for salads... and any ole crisco cooking spray for stir frying :O It's probably not the best, but it helps me stay in my deficit. 5 cals per spray!!0 -
Can you come over to my house and make me a delicious, low-cal Mexican dinner?0

Organic has nothing to do with the nutrition or how refined something is. Just the way it's grown. You could have a crop that is organically grown then refined within an inch of it's life it would still be an organic product.0 -

Can you please explain as to why something that might be GM is considered unhealthy?
Are there any peer reviewed scientific studies that show any link between GM and health issues?

Yeah, I guess you're right. For the olive oil I use for salads, I just check how it's refined. And purity. This leads me to one that is reasonably expensive .... but not as much as organic versions which I am not prepared to pay for consistenly.
I pay for quality olive oil and quality chocolate0 -
