Definitely agree with you there. But does that work for someone who wants to build.muscle? That was my goal before covid shut the gyms down and thats still the goal im trying to get back to. I mean the protein found in those plant sources are like what 5-10g at most? Lean chicken breast is like 20-22g. But is eating animal…

most definitely. I'm gonna try and book a dietician for next week. Meanwhile i think I'll try out Mediterranean while limiting processed/cheat foods.

Yes im just starting to research Mediterranean. Sounds way more doable. Having a cheat meal once a week or every 2 weeks could help too. Not sure about triglycerides she didnt mention. But i know my glucose is within normal range so thats no issue. Good question about the plaque. What she did was place her stethoscope on…

Yep. I had no idea. I found that out during our appointment. She showed me her $46 plant based protein powder (2 scoops = 10g) and said i should take 1 scoop per day. I showed my whey protein from Myprotein, she said its no good because its 1g saturated fat :disappointed: Not for nothing but I've read that plant protein…

So it goes like this. Her meal plan has 5 food groups.

Lol that's what im wondering. I looked it up and it says 123 is "near optimal" for LDL. But 34 for HDL is definitely low.

No. This was pretty much brought on by months of stress that led to poor dieting and gym closures which screwed up my routine (i was consistently going 3x week for muscle building mostly)

Also MFP gave me a saturated fat goal of 20g/day but as I've said i been trying to stay under 10g because now im scared to go anywhere near 20g due what she told me about my cholesterol and the plaque :(

Well actually i came up with the 1500 cal. That's just been my average over past 4 days. She didnt give me a calorie limit just a menu with choices and certain guidelines like aim for fat free or no saturated fats (ha, easier said than done, some things have like 0.50 to 1g sat fat in them)
