[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me:
- everything in moderation
- Don't eat a lot of meat (1-3x  month)
- Dairy maybe 2-3x/week
- Eat all the vegetables and fruit I want - meals are a big veg based meal like big bowl of soup/stew, huge salad in the summer, etc
- Eat some "junk" in moderation, every day. Like some peanut butter cups, or some ice cream, or doritos, or whatever. But eat them after I've had my veggie-based meal.
- Rarely drink (1-2 drinks a month)

I don't track any macros. I workout 6 days a week, usually.

How do you get in the necessary protein?[/quote]

There is a cult of protein in American diet and fitness industry that has no basis in nutritional biochemistry. Most Americans consume far more protein than necessary for optimal health, certainly Americans are not protein deficient at all. But there is a whole agricultural industry built around selling us flesh based protein so it's hard to fight the propaganda with the news that you can get all you need from plants.

One would think that the logic would occur to us - if a gorilla (or hippo or elephant or giraffe, etc.) can be strong and health eating only plants, why can't a human?[/quote]
I agree with you. When DD was younger our per said most American children get plenty of protein, it’s fiber they’re lacking. We don’t eat any red meat, and mostly eat vegetarian ( not totally though) [/quote]
