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.

I don't know about inherently wrong, but I know there is a lot of suffering at some of these operations, and that's not right in my view.

Regarding laws on chicken housing, a lot of people, myself included, care about making CAFOs more humane. I don't know the specifics of the law in your example, but as a general principle I am all for regulating CAFOs to make them more humane. And I eat chicken and eggs. So, this is not just a vegan concern. Now you might…

Well I couldn't resist reading that.* White Tea: Breaks down stored fat! * Barberry: Blocks fat cells from growing! * Pu-erh Tea: Reduces belly flab! * Oolong Tea: Burns a pound a week! * Rooibos: Cuts new fat cell growth! Woo hoo! Why am I just now finding out about this?

You see it first in strength gains. Each week you may find you can do a few more reps, or increase the amount of weight you use. If you are working with a trainer, he or she will guide you in increasing your reps and/or weight.

I've gone meatless for long periods of time. Sometimes I'd go completely plant based with no animal foods at all. Other times I'd include a little dairy and some eggs. Sometimes I'd take a flexitarian approach. I didn't notice any noteworthy benefits. I currently emphasize real, whole foods, that includes lots of veggies…

Pretty much every dish mentioned in this thread could be eaten on a realistic diet, assuming sensible portion sizes. Starving yourself to get unrealistically fast results is a bad idea, as is trying to live off nothing but salads.

What is your source for this dietary fat advice? What studies are these numbers based on?

Paleomael? So our paleo ancestors made chocolate shakes from a plastic canister? I thought the whole idea of paleo was to eat real, whole foods?

Get rid of the rice cooker. I use a one quart sauce pan and I've never burnt my rice.

As an omnivore you can eat everything vegans, vegetarians, nutritarians eat. And then some. Or not. The only thing you don't get is a special label that lets you declare to your friends that you can't eat this or that because you've self identified with a label that doesn't allow this or that.

I don't worry about saturated fat. Read The Big Fat Surprise. (http://thebigfatsurprise.com/)

Regarding portion size I just know from experience what a right sized plate of food is for me. A full meal is usually a palm size portion of meat or fish or beans, a hand size portion of rice or potatoes, and a hand size portion of veggies. This is all done with my eyes. I don't restrict myself using a food scale or…

Why do you have to choose between them? How about a balanced diet that includes both "vegan" foods AND high quality protein foods like meat?
-
It's good to have protein at every meal. You are doing fine.

You had one half cup of ground turkey with Marinara sauce for dinner, and that gets you stuffed? To me that would be an appetizer. I don't get people who eat tiny portions and say they are stuffed. Have you always been this way.
-
Off course you can eat red meat.

I've tried PB in the past. I feel better when I include animal foods in my diet. More energy. Betters moods. I have no causal explanation for that, it's just my experience. High quality plant foods + plus high quality animal foods = the best of both worlds.

Best advice so far.
