I also eat a decent amount of non soy meat substitutes


Any particular reason it's non soy? Is something wrong with soy?

Soy contains a lot of phytoestrogens.

Just to give you an example of what I might eat in a day....

This morning I had a protein shake that is 28 grams protein and 140 calories. I also brought an Amy's tamale verde and cheese microwave dinner which is four hundred calories. I like these because they are cheap, organic, and preservative free. I also have a mixed green salad with tomatoes, mushrooms, red peppers, a half cup of chickpeas, two tablespoons feta, and light vinagrette. I have three cheese sticks and three boiled eggs as well. After the gym I will have another shake and for dinner probably another salad or cook a light meal using some sort of meat substitute or a high protein low carb mung bean pasta with marinara.

It's the prevent and reverse heart disease diet. Pretty much no diary and cheese, no oils or nuts, no avocados.


So your doctor doesn't want you to have protein or fat? To be honest most doctors dont know jack shite about proper diet. They dont really take nutrition classes in med school. I would ask him why you shouldn't have healthy fats like nuts and avocados.
