Ray Peat did not promote the general "Eat vegetables" saying that is drilled into our brains by society on a ridiculous level.

Where have you seen I've advised to take vegetables as basic foodstuff.

My last breakfast was composed of 3 kinds of fruits (pear and clementine) + 100 g (3 oz) of blueberries with 150 g Greek yaourt and 2 tsp coconut sugar.
My lunch was composed of 2 mashed potatoes, mixed with frozen spinach (or broccoli last week) with one egg (free range), one small onion lightly fried in coconut oil, and half a tbsp. raw butter. + 3 slices of duck breast (100 g).
As spinach is rich in oxalate (660 mg for 100 gr), I took one galet 1000 mg citrate calcium (21 % Ca).
At the evening meal, I'll take 2 doses potassium citrate (1.6 gr x 2) and 1 dose bisglycinate mg (2.5 gr) in a shake (---), one apple cooked in the pan with coconut oil and butter added at the end, 1 slice Gouda cheese, 2 wasa bread slices with butter and leek soup.
Edit: In my shake, I'l add some collagen since the amount of protein is weak.

@peatboy2416 Have you thought about what forms of those? I dont know how new you are to all this but the forms make a difference. But when it comes to Zinc smoked oysters are really good but can cost abit. ground beef got an ok amount also. You could supplement it but I think Zinc is easy to get in food. Magnesium, the form to use it depends abit on the goal etc. Collagen would be ideally from something like homemade oxtail soup but I understand you are a 16 year old and might not have time or funds for that. Collagen can sometimes have residue from manufacturing and then its not even close to as good as if its clean. Same when it commes to additional ingredients, those can sometimes be bad. Creatine its the same deal, really try to find one without a bunch of added ingredients or residue

How is your money situation considering you are 16? Baking soda can be suprisingly beneficial and is incredibly cheap.

@LucH You said something like begin with raw food (vegetables) earlier in the chat somewhere dont remember what message exactly and then after that I saw that other convo.

Now looking closer I see he also stated himself that raw is toxic and unhealthy. Which doesnt align with Ray Peat at all. This changes things

And your quotes now align more with making claims against that. Funny how much missing one scentence can do.

Im multitasking right now so I am not suprised I missed it lmao

@Uncover I don't know what forms are, I knew about Ray Peat for a few years now and tried a few of his suggestions and associated things like carrot salad. But I don't know a lot of the literature and it's mostly surface level. Seafood's sadly not an option 4 me, due to allergies. I think the finance situation is middle class, no job of my own though
