[quote=Anonymous]I have high cholesterol but after imaging, stress tests, calcium score, etc., my cardiologist says my heart is 100% clear and healthy. But I still need to lower cholesterol.

So I’m upping things like whole grains, vegetables, etc. And while I’ve been a vegetarian for 35 years, I eat a gross amount of cheese so lowering that as well.

Overnight oats work well for my schedule and are super tasty, but I don’t really know serving size. For reference, I am 5’8” and 155. My weight loss goal is to slowly lose 10 lbs, maintain for a while, and then lose another 5-10. Pre-pandemic, I was 140 effortlessly but got lazy I guess.

I am not counting calories. I have a poor history with being too restrictive, so looking to learn balance and listen to my body. But my body has a large appetite!

Is this a “serving size”? two? 
- 1/3 cup dry old fashioned oats
- 1 Tbs chia seed
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries 
- 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
- light sprinkle of dry roasted slivered almonds for crunch

I know this shouldn’t be so hard, but it seems to be beyond me!
