thanks for those lectures from NJH. Very informative. It is difficult to maintain weight. I keep trying to gain weight but keep falling slightly under what I want to weigh. So my diet is often Oatmeal for breakfast with lots of nuts and raisins.
And a fruit bowl of bananas blueberries, papayas. Eggs. Lunch and dinners often a vegetable protein like tofu,seitan or tempeh,natto, kim chi and sometime fish with pasta or brown rice and a green salad and a steamed vegetables or stir fried. I come from a vegetarian diet but have to add fish or eggs. Most of my food is organic.
Im trying to get more muscle mass through protein and exercise. Our whole digestive system seems to be affected by MAC. Wish all of you the best.Thank you.

My daughter adds vegetable-based protein powder to her oatmeal, and to the oatmeal she serves to her active little boys. Also, consider adding some flavored, healthy oils or butter to increase calories - think lightly fried fish, tofu or veggies instead of steamed or broiled. Also beans are a great source of protein & fiber to add to stir fry or blend into smoothies.
