"Hate" seems an awfully melodramatic response to tilapia.

When the science is unclear, as RodaRose says, it's pretty easy for a self-proclaimed authority to step in to fill the void with their own theories, which are probably snake oil. This author looks to me like he is in the same league as Dr. Mercola and Dr. Oz. But, looks could be deceiving.

What does it mean when someone's profile pic has bars on it? Did you get in trouble?

You are way overthinking this. Go have a milkshake. You can start eating your desired calories immediately. You don't have to make a big deal out of it.

Yes. That works. I think you'll be okay short term. Give it try. See how you feel after a week. Adjust if need be. BTW, there is no requirement that you lose a pound a week. There is something to be said for taking a long, slow, gradual approach. Your BMI is only 25.

They are not set in stone. Makes adjustments as you see fit. You are in charge, not the app. No need to stuff yourself.

I agree that is not that low, especially in the context you describe. I think it is fine to have a flexible and varied diet where your macros vary from day to day.

I love veggies. Here is what I ate tonight: Soup: Sweet Potato with Ginger & Veggies Salad: Garden Greens with Walnut, Pecan, Cucumber & Basil Dressing Entree: Veggie Gorditas with Guacamole & Pickled Cabage Brown Rice with Mixed Veggies & Almonds Kidney Beans Blanched Greens w/ Sunflower Seed & Dill Sauce Pickled Red…

I think your closing thought is right. But, it might depend on how low is low. How many total grams do you consider a low day?

Who is he and why should I be concerned about his eating habits?

Ridiculously restrictive and extreme. Not enough calories. Why would anyone find it appealing? When you lose weight on an extreme diet like this, you just gain it back when you starting eating normal again.

And yet this is the hive the op is seeking advice from.

Funny guy.

I don't know how this is even possible. Growing up, I was exposed to a wide variety of foods and turning up my nose at them was not an option in my house. I ate what my parents served and I learned to like all kinds of things. You could learn to like more things too. It is a choice.

I don't believe it's possible to increase your height. If it would help, I can tell you how to add 3" to your circumference.

I second what sixxpoint said.

1. Don't eat yellow snow. 2. Don't get advice from Dr. Oz or Dr. Mercola or Oprah. 3. Get plenty of protein and fat. 4. Saturated fats are good fats too. (http://thebigfatsurprise.com/) 5. Favorite meal: Salmon or beef or chicken, and rice or potatoes, and veggies. Lots veggies. Get plenty of veggies. Veggies are good.

Thank you. I was interested, but not interested enough to watch a video.

Rib-eye steak (rib roast, prime rib) The crème de la crème of steaks. Very marbled cut, which means it's flavorful and stays tender while cooking. Yeah, that's the one. I'll let others have the lean cuts.

Jay Robb Whey Protein hits all your requirements except, it is sweetened. With Stevia. I don't think unsweetened whey protein would be appetizing.

Why are you eating something you don't like? Because other people get moist over it? Really?

14 oz steak is big. Last time I ate at a steak house and they asked if I wanted a 9 oz or a 12 oz. I choice a 9 oz and that seemed like more than plenty to me.

If you compare a diet full of sugar, processed food, fast food, trans fats, etc., to a diet full of real, whole, plant foods, the WFPB diet is going to come out looking pretty good. However, real, whole, plant foods + meat, fish, and poultry comes out even better.

I'm skeptical about the claim that all these people's eating patterns fit neatly into 65% carbs (mostly in whole grains and beans- he recommends eating a cup of beans a day), 20% fat and 15% protein. Typically the researchers ask a small sampling of people to fill out a food questionnaires for 1 day, and then they…

The OP is not in training. In his own words: "I'm totally not an athlete though, so not bothered about getting the maximum." I've never seen anything from the CDC or NAS to indicate their daily recommended intake is just for sedentary individuals. They list AMDR for protein as 10% to 35%. Where 56g falls in that range…

One approach to this is to save all the individual components in "daily salad" and "avocado wrap" as meals. Then you simply log the meal.
