Most of what you said could’ve been written by me. Except I never chose to use the VA after they blended my father 15 years ago. A few days ago I saw a nutritionist. Long story short, I was somewhat encouraged by his approach, which is to limit protein to 75 g, fat about the same although he was not specific on that and two watch my carbs, which I take to mean around 200. He wanted each meal to be a mixture of the three. That is doable. I was thinking about starting a thread with those comments to see what folks think about it.
