@denisestlouie From your description you certainly did your own research on nutrition and diet. I like the metaphor of gut microbiomes as little pets. Keeping them "happy" and healthy keeps you healthy in return.

What does a typical day look like for you with your diet? What do you eat and do you keep track with nutrients on your own or do you use an app?

I don't track my food intake any more.

I usually start my day with a smoothie. It will have a cup of leafie greens, all kinds of berries, broccoli and cauliflower, avocado, some kind of citrus, a scoop of protein powder and almond milk or water. That is a great start.

Lunch is or a bowl that includes some kind of protein. I keep canned meats like tuna chicken or oysters. Dinner is similar to lunch. Lots of veggies. For snacks it nuts and seed or nut butters.

I eat out more than I should and I stick with salads our salmon tuna and chicken. I avoid dairy any vegetables that are grown under the ground like potatoes. And no grain or beans.

I'm eat that way about 75% to 85%

I drink water and sparkling water. I won't give up coffee. I'm trying to limit it, but it's my last vice.
