-> 60g protein/day, max; 55g/day if I can, NO MORE THAN 15G @ MEAL/SNACK
-> as many ultra-low carb veggies I like
-> as little saturated fat as possible but all the good fats I please
I find this mailing list really interesting but I must say I am totally
confused by the amount of information, much of it conflicting, that I read
here. I thought I was confused when I read Cordain's and Audette's books at
the same time, because they disagree on a few points, but that was nothing
compared to my current confusion. How does one figure out how much protein
to eat per day? how many vegetables? how many fruits? Cordain says eat all
the veg and fruits you want, Audette says limit fruits and mostly eat
berries, also limit veg and mostly eat green leafy stuff. People on this
list say everything in between, and the ins and outs of fructose and sucrose
and glucose have caused my head to explode. The thing I liked about this
diet was the seeming simplicity: eat lots of lean meat, fruit, vegetables,
and nuts. Now it's starting to seem so complex I dream of going back to
PowerBars - they are totally unhealthy but I still have brain cells
available for other things than what I eat! What am I missing about all
this?
