[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like you are also eating low in calories and protein.[/quote]

Right that it is low in calories, wrong that it is low in protein

1 serving natto = 34 g protein

Chia seeds in smoothie = 3 g protein

Handful almonds and walnuts = 4 g protein

Sardines = 14 g protein

1/2 avocado = 2 g protein

Pumpkin seeds = 1-2 g protein

4 oz chicken = 34 g protein

Black beans = 7 g protein

Grand total is almost 100 daily grams of protein, which is way more than sufficient.  They recommend 0.8 g of protein per kilo of body weight:

For a standard adult weighing 70 kg, that means you only need 56 g protein.  The above example of my typical day is almost double the recommended needed for protein intake unless you’re a body builder or something.  Foods like Natto are a nutritional powerhouse chock full of protein and fiber.  And if you’re ever falling short, it’s not hard to add something like whey powder to something like the smoothie or a bowl of oats for extra protein. [/quote]
