When first diagnosed, before surgery, I set up a meeting with.a nutritionist at the cancer center. Best thing I ever did. She simplified everything. 30%/30%|30% carb/fat/protein.

Start there. Then you can “try” to figure out issues like hormone in cattle feed of the particular pound of burger meat you bought at Krogers.

For me, it took time and practice to get the % in place and then within a caloric range.

I learned that most diet products for protein are very high calorie. Think weight lifters

Now 5 years out my typical daily breakfast is low or no fat plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and a few almonds. I avoid eggs but on occasion will have scrambled eggs or hard boiled eggs. I increased salads and veggies. Avoided sugars and sweets as much as possible. Used protein drinks/waters when I can find them and they are low calorie. Look for high protein snacks (handful of almonds, fresh fruit) etc.

I have lost about 40 pounds. Attend cardio classes and strength training classes 90 mins twice each week it has taken me 5 years to accomplish ok lush this.
