[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a normal weight on a bathroom scale of about 145 for lots of my adult life. I started lifting and running a little less and as I got older kind of settled into about 150-153 when I was eating well, working out, not drinking a lot but not restricting either.  In August, I started gaining about a pound every two weeks. not a straight line, but looking back it was consistent and in one direction.

In mid-December, before the winter holidays I was 164. I went to an endocrinologist who did a InBody Scan. Body fat percent of 26.2. She put me on a mild calorie restriction and a goal of eating 100grams of protein a day. Last time I was there about two weeks ago, I was 153 and my muscle mass was the same as the day I started this, all of the loss is attributed to fat, and my body fat percent is now 21.9. She also put me on a very low dose of metformin and indicated that this was warranted b/c my visceral fat was within healthy range but much higher than she would have expected for my body size. The visceral fat has come down as well.

When I am getting the protein, I am not looking for a snack. There have been more than a few days when I have not kept precisely to the plan.

I'm 50.[/quote]

What sourced of protein do you recommend?[/quote]
