The numbers in parens are the grams of protein. Previously I had stated the grams of protein in each specifically. The parens numbers here were summary to show these foods as a group gave adequate protein. Sorry if that context was not clear. But how could two glasses of milk wight 18 grams? Or lots of vegetables weigh 10 g -- thats a third of an oz) > You should also be getting a healthy amount of a good > monounsaturated oil, like olive oil, 30 percent of your > calories.

See adjacent post -- I get plenty of olive oil, and other fats from avacados (high in monos and methionine) and nuts -- particularly brazil -- higest food source of methionine, and walnuts -- high in omega-3s. And I love cashews, so I indulge at bit. Ground sesseme too, semi-high in methionine. Almonds are hard to digest for me. Roasting on low heat helps. And most importantly, IMO, lots of high quality omega-3 supplements. Nordic Naturals is a good brand -- amazing story on how they produce their oils.) > According to the Zone diet, there's nothing wrong wth > fruit as long as it's low glycemic--like berries, apples, > peaches, and so on. Cherries are the lowest actually. And luckly are my favorite fuit. Everyone needs to find what works for them. I find grains, beans and fruits, in the quantities I used to eat were way too much for me. You may differ. I find a diet with adequate protein, from veg sourses mostly, low carbs and adequate high grade oils work best for me. ------------------------ Yahoo!
