This sounds good. What type of nuts do you eat and how much each day?

Mostly walnut, badam and pista. All put together may be 30 to 50 grams. To be precise 5 to 7 pieces of each nut

This is good to hear. I like some of these, as well. Do you like cashews, too? πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Ofcourse yes. Fried in melted butter is of great taste. Being NIDDM limiting to few pieces once/ twice in a week

Green grams

Hi Leah, I get my proteins mostly from eggs, nuts, veggies, fruits, seafood (more fish, less shellfish because they have high cholesterols) and protein powders.

Thank you, Koko. I eat eggs, almonds, oats, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, chicken and broccoli for my protein. I also eat snack bars and some Vegetarian plant based pea protein items.πŸ˜€πŸ‘

I eat all the food listed but controlling HbA1C number can be a problem with age, there is no data available to work on this!!

This is very good. I eat more white fish and salmon during the year and I had lamb once a year, but that was when I was able to go to the State Fair (before COVID).
