Thank you for justifying my meals that consist off a bunch of asparagus sprinkled with nutritional yeast.

I notice that if my protein intake is low, I get very tired very quickly. My work is such that I need my strength...I'm a massage therapist...I cannot be sluggish and give a good session.

Interesting. I hear that in small amounts, it is okay, especially if it is fermented, like they do it in Asian countries. But that the huge amounts that Americans consume it is bad. My sister saw a holistic nutritionist (post her 3rd bout with cancer) who suggested she avoid it.

[/quote] I'm allergic to grass, and wheat is a grass. A nurse practitioner about 25 years ago suggested I eliminate it from my diet, and I managed to get off my asthma drugs due to the dietary changes (also eliminated mushrooms). Now, when I eat it, it is on a rare occasion. If I eat it often, I start to wheeze, and I get…

I used to eat a lot of TVP, until I went soy free. Fake meat freaks me out. Too much like my memory of meat...I end up gagging when I take a bite of it. I did, however, just make the perfect ration breakfast... cooked 1-1/2 servings rolled oats with a banana, 1/4 cup raisins, 3 tbsp. hemp seeds, and then put in cinnamon…

I don't do soy....as I said in an earlier post, breast cancer in family history. Also allergic to peanuts and wheat. I have not found a vegan soy/peanut/wheat-free bar that has much of a protein content. Know of any?

Hey there! Newbie here.... Joined MFP and a gym 2nd week in May, and managed to go 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Woohoo!! It's become a habit now. I've been tracking my food and water meticulously, almost obsessively. It's refreshing to see how much water I actually drink (about 12-14 glasses a day). My June goals: Get my…

never thought of throwing protein powder into my oatmeal. Thanks!

Yeah...soy is out on a regular basis, as there is breast cancer in my family history, so I eat it sparingly. I have a protein powder that I like...Juvo...but I just don't want a shake every day. I often like a warm breakfast, and my lunches and dinners are often brought and eaten during my work day (I have an odd schedule)…

I'm 6 feet tall with a large frame. At my fittest, I weighed 170. That was exercising 4 hours a day (in college, playing a sport, training in a martial art, and cycling). My dream goal is 180, but I'll be thrilled if I get to 200. (Currently at 234)

I'm 6 feet tall, and have re-entered the dating world at age 50. Ugh. It is a nightmare. It seems like all the men in my area want tiny little women. Men who claim to be over 6 feet tall, but want someone in the range of 5'6". It is very frustrating as a tall woman. What I find fascinating about the whole experience is how…
