Has anyone come across research that speaks to what is the best diet strategy in terms of macros? I just finished my last radiation treatment!

Good morning all! We've had a lot of requests from researchers for volunteers to help with their studies. We've been sharing them on social media, but I thought I'd do a round up here.
