Hi Acetyper- Welcome to MND! I am not sure I follow your question. What do you mean?
Monitor in ounces? Thanks!

Hi Kathy,
I was curious if you had any ideas about getting sufficient choline, vitamin D and cholesterol on a primarily plant-based diet. I try to supplement my diet with almond milk, sardines and oysters yet I’m consistently not getting enough vitamin D and choline.

hello,
i have an irrelevant question in this forum because i cannot find the appropriate section to ask my concern.
i have submitted a few times the ‘Photos’ in regards to update the appropriate ‘Nutritional requirements’ and Mynetdiary keeps publishing the wrong Carb information and has rejected one the other photos i had taken.
who do i raise this issue to?

Hi Po,
Thanks for your question. Here are some ideas for you-
Choline: Our liver naturally makes choline, though not quite enough.
Plant-based sources include tofu, edamame, oats, quinoa, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Eggs are an excellent source if they are part of your eating plan.
Cholesterol: There is no dietary requirement for cholesterol, as our liver makes sufficient amounts for necessary body functions.
Vitamin D: Many vegans and non-vegans rely on supplements to get adequate amounts. Mushrooms, especially UV light exposed mushrooms are a good source, as are fortified milk substitutes such as your almond milk, fortified juices, and cereals. Last but not least, depending on where you live, and your lifestyle, sunshine can be a significant source. ??
Hope this helps!
Best,
Sue (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

Healthiest Brownies Ever
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Servings: Yield: 12 -16 servings
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup well-mashed avocado
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Spelt Flour
1/2 cup cold-pressed (non-alkalized) unsweetened Organic Cacao Powder (Try Navitas or Milliard cold-pressed cacao powder)
1 cup organic coconut palm sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground sea salt
1/2 cup freshly brewed Light Roast (not Dark) coffee
1/4 cup Brita filtered water
1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips (or try using Ghirardelli Chocolate 60% Cacao Bittersweet Baking Chips)
(Optional) Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cooking Spray
DESCRIPTION
I altered an already vegan recipe from gimme some oven to make it heart healthier, glucose friendly and cholesterol lowering.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees F). Grease an 8-inch square pan with Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cooking Spray (optional).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed avocado and olive oil until smooth. Add in the Spelt flour, cacoa powder, coconut palm sugar, baking soda, sea salt, light roasted coffee and water. Stir until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly throughout the pan. Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove and let the brownies sit out for at least 20 minutes before serving.
NUTRITION
This culinary nutritionist’s dream recipe will be higher in antioxidants and lower glycemically, and, instead of using all purpose bleached white flour, this recipe substitutes typical bleached flour using whole grain Spelt Flour. White flour bread contains only 14 ?g/g, while wholemeal (Spelt and Rye) breads contain up to 1400 ?g/g of phenolic acids in dry matter, for instance.

Hello,
I've been following the "plan" for sometime now at about 1400 calories a day and I'm not seeing any results. Actually gaining weight? Somehow the science is not adding up. I've been fairly careful in logging my calorie intake and mostly within the guideline percentages?
I'm puzzled. Please help?
