Now, yes that does include a lot of protein shake stuff, that's not that unusual for most weightlifting diets. That's also a vegan diet, so you might be able to add eggs, cheese and milk to that diet and cut back on the powder in the me…

Most of the protein shake stuff would not solve the issue for a vegan diet. Most of the protein shake stuff is made from Whey or Casein or egg whites which IIRC are not vegan. There is pea protein or hemp protein but my quick googling tells me is high carb and low protein and can easily throw you off your calorie limits.

Defatted peanut flour is high protein/low calorie.

> normal or even fantastic lipid levels At work a nurse comes in and we can get tested for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes. I go and each time even up until my NAFLD my numbers practically perfect. Maybe I do have some ApoB protein trouble. Although I doubt there is a lipid clinic anywhere in Canada for me to go to. Thanks anyway.

Actually Canada has fantastic lipid clinics. (Disclosure: lipoproteins were the focus of my research and I collaborated with these folks.) Rob Hegele is a big name in lipids and his clinic is in Southwest Ontario, I believe.

I'm in the Maritimes and things are so well at my job so no go for travel, but maybe I'll mention it to my doctor.

Thanks.
