ADT & Diet: What are others generally eating in a day?

I'm very fortunate not to have had the weight or food issues so far on ADT, but I might have something to contribute since you mentioned difficulty working in diet with food schedule. My ADT regimen is Orgovyx, abiraterone, and prednisone. Orgovyx can be taken any time. Prednisone must go with food - no problem, I just have to remember it over breakfast. The only issue is the abbie. which needs an empty stomach before and after. I deal with that by taking it in the middle of the night, when I (and maybe your husband) reliably get awakened by a hot flash and/or need to get up and pee. That takes the one med scheduling issue off the table.

Hi All,
I have been reading these diet stories and am still perplexed on my main issue--how to get enough protein?
Google says a 170-pound 72-year old active man should get "about 77 to 93 grams of protein per day...If he’s doing regular endurance or resistance exercise [I am], the target can be a bit higher, around 85 to 115 grams per day."
My problem is I am trying to keep on a whole food, plant based diet, or as I told my friend: "It's simple, anything you want to eat, you can't. No dairy, meat, eggs, or sugar." So good sources of large amounts of protein (eggs, yogurt, meat) are off the table, or at least minimized. When I look at labels for beans, flaxseed, nuts seeds, etc. I see mostly 5, 6, 8 grams of protein/serving. I just dont see how to get to 85 to 115 grams/day with these numbers. To be honest, I eat a lot of salmon and tuna and occasional skinless organic chicken, but even with those, meeting the targets seems a stretch. How do you all do it?
