As an old guy who had a big weight loss due to cancer I hope to eat minimal amounts and stay thin.
Most people need more collagen and glycine. Collagen is 38% glycine, but even more is needed. Costco has a tasty organic bone broth, and collagen pills. I also include 4g of glycine in a mix of supplements.
My cat normally ate chicken. I would give him some canned cat food with some greens in it occasionally.
Your foods are either proteins, carbohydrates and fats. If you want to stay healthy and slim, proteins and fats are the way to go. Carbs like bread, pasta, doughnuts, etc . . lead to weight gain and diabetes.So minimize the carbs. Which reminds me, it’s ice cream time.
The best bug protein comes from the worm found at the bottom of a bottle of tequila.
I’ll politely say “no, thank you” to anything else.
This article is just more plant-based propaganda. Meat, eggs, raw cheese and dairy are the best sources of protein. An animal-based diet is the proper human diet.
“The healthiest options for protein are generally from plant sources”
Total hogwash. Out bodies break down protein into amino acids, then construct the protein we need. Plants have the wrong mixture of amino acids, so a lot of left over. Bioavailability is around 50-60%, versus nearly 100% with beef.
We are talking about essential amino acids in protein, not vitamins.

Did you ever see a lion eat a salad?:)
“Folate, Vitamins C and E...”
Vitamin C: Tons of people on a carnivore diet. never heard of ANY getting scurvy!
Vitamin E? I use cod liver oil, which has it. Again, I’ve never heard of someone on the carnivore diet showing any of the symptoms of deficiency.
Folate? One study I saw says only 12% of adults get the minimum requirement of folate...so how can it be the minimum?
Or, one can do what a lot of vegans do: Take a multivitamin! But I would question if the minimum IS a minimum, particularly if one is not eating plants. I’m on Medicare and have avoided fruits and veggies my entire life. And no, I’ve never had scurvy.

This is true. What has made us fat has been the pushing of too many carbs over the last 50 years by the "experts". Protein=good, fat=OK, carbs=bad. That's a gross oversimplication of course, but the average person would be much better served eating more protein and a lot fewer carbs.
this is especially true for older adults
Whoever lumped Keto in here doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Keto is supposed to be high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrates.
The reason for this is that the body can break protein down into carbohydrates. To get the body burning fat, it has to have low enough carbohydrates to fall back on that.
I believe he said he doesn’t like being on this diet, but because of health conditions, such as autoimmune he has to be.
So the nutritionist gave you a window that included more protein than you were originally targeting?
You’re leaving out processed foods.
