plants without soil

It’s not magic, but it feels close.

No statins required.

Today I switched my macronutrient targets (protein : carb : fat) in Cronometer from 35:40:25 to 25:60:15. This is an attempt to keep my fat intake as low as possible, within reason, to allow me to err on the side of caloric surplus without much fat gain – or, hopefully, loss of abdominal adipose tissue. No oils? The recommendation from Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and others is for a low-fat whole food plant-based diet.

I’d never really logged my meals to see how many calories and how much protein I was really eating. I’m pretty sure the answer to both was not enough. My fitness goals have been incoherent for a long time, with nutrition goals to match: Eat a lot of protein. Keep the carbs down. Forget about the rest. It took me 20 years of adulthood to decide to want to start Eating My Vegetables™.
