Pre-packaged fruit cups in syrup/juice Applesauce squeeze pouches Ruger wafers (fat is coconut oil and palm kernel oil) Honey Crisp cereal Bugels Oriental Corn Chips (have to check label but a lot of them are made with coconut oil and/or palm kernel oil.) Naked Juice smoothies Microwaved/Pre-Popped Popcorn (check label to see if coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or butter. e.g. LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn) Reay-to-drink coconut water that has added sugar (or I mix with other juices). My daily go-to combo at work is Naked Juice Smoothie and Ruger wafers/Bugels from the cafe. At home, it tends to be coconut water, fruit cups and applesauce squeeze pouches.

@wrl I'm not familiar with that aspect of TCM, but glad to know that as I usually have milk taken separate from other foods. It's widely held that Chinese are lactose-intolerant but it may just apply to Southern Chinese but I wouldn't know until I get to travel in China like I scoured the US.

@swordzonmyback Blend your egg shells in a coffee grinder into a fine powder, cheap calcium supplement.

@asterbolic it isn't drained cabbage then . I would just enter it as raw weight in chronometer

@sneedful

@Tarzan17 I know a lot of people say starch interferes with sleep but for me if I eat some potatoes at night I feel full and sleep well I also like eating chunks of raw cheese or dried fruit though

@CO3 cheers

200g is probably excessive. Eat your broccoli but just don’t have too much.

Chris Masterjohn talked about how loading up on zinc doesn’t carry you but a couple days. And that having a more even dose daily is more effective. 2 oysters makes rda zinc

@yerrag thanks for the suggestion. I love french vanilla with some maple syrup drizzled on top

@Mossy I would agree with that

@Jennifer Hm very interesting

You’re welcome, @Serotoninskeptic.

I bought it. I am a bit dubious towards the idea of eating it currently. I used it on my skin and it felt good, maybe even better than regular coconut oil. It has a very faint almost chemically smell but it actually doesn't smell bad. It says on the tub "Not for internal use" and I imagine if you contact the company to ask them whether you can eat it they will just say the same thing for legal reasons.

@Tarzan17 Its probably more likely to contain allergens and contaminants than unprocessed whole bean coffee. However if its more convenient and you prefer it i dont think this is a major issue

@reasonablepete This is how i feel with bananas and pineapples. Sure bananas have some starch and they both have serotonin. I love these fruits too much to not eat them because of a little serotonin

@Snow Yes these are very similar to caramel or toffee. Traditional taffy is usually fruit-flavored but these are more similar to a browned butter/caramel flavor.

@PrinceTrebata yes. search mason jar ice cream recipe. I have done that for years and it's delicious.

@Isaac If you're metabolically healthy, which also means your blood sugar is well regulated, eating 3x a day is just right. But if you have blood sugar issues, then eating more often, is needed. I don't necessarily have to eat more, or less, for any meal. I eat as much as I can until I'm sated. And I follow what my body says is enough. But it is what works for me. My basal metabolism is such that I don't gain weight even when I don't exercise a lot. I'm not stuck in a cubicle either and the day goes by with me easily being active with housework, repairs, cooking, and mental activities like reading, writing, and solving problems. An active brain uses a lot of energy, and I find it more enjoyable than walking thru a boring neighborhood.
