Whole Food Plant-Based Diet

[IronClydes]

Basically.

Chicken is to protein as rice is to carbs (or to compare apples to apples, whey isolate). It’ll get you there from a macronutrient standpoint, but it’s best used as a filler for said macro, and not making up the entirety of it.

Thank you for the feedback, I did neglect to mention tuna albacore on Ezekiel for my night time snack, and oatmeal with my eggs in the morning.

Looking at my meal plan, which has been my staple plan for years, what subtle, cost-effective, changes would you make to it to improve?

My current meat intake is a lot more varied, but unfortunately, you’re not going to get more cost effective than chicken breast. The stuff is just so mass produced that it costs almost nothing.

My current protein sources:
Whole eggs (egg whites are even more shit than chicken)
Whole milk greek yogurt
Mahi mahi
Salmon
Pork loin
93/7 or 85/15 ground beef
Dark chicken meat (primarily thighs)
Beef/calf liver
The occasional ribeye steak

You’ll notice something here: I don’t avoid animal fats. There’s a reason for this. Many of the micronutrients in whole animal products are contained in fats. This is ESPECIALLY true with eggs. You lose something like 95% of the micronutrition when you toss the yolk.

Thank you.

I’ll try to work in these better sources incrementally to be more cost effective.

What about recommended carb sources, in lieu of my whole grain brown rice, oatmeal, and Ezekiel bread is my staples?

I tend to stick with potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruits, veg and white rice when I need easily digested filler carbs. I don’t see anything there that you’d want to drop, but add in other stuff.
The only reason I don’t fuck with oats and most breads is that they fuck with my respiratory system, and I end up with a nose so plugged up I can’t even fucking blow it.

It took me a long time to figure it out. Everyone was touting all of the shit about gluten blah blah, but nope. Even stupid expensive gluten free oats and breads did it. The only two breads I can tolerate are Rye and sourdough.
