I’ve actually taken part in the Zöe trial this year and am still working with them via the app. I learned quite a bit about what to eat that works best for me and it was quite a surprise. My body deals well with fats and not so well with sugar. In terms of protein the biggest takeaway I’ve had from lots of podcasts I’ve listened to is make sure you get 30g of protein in the first meal of the day, so that’s my main aim - followed by trying to get 25-30g in each of the other meals, although I don’t sweat it too much if I’m under. |

Nice one cathrobinson - if I lived in the UK I’d have joined Zoë too. Keep hearing so much about how individual we are in our response to food, but am frustrated at the lack of widely available measurement devices that could help us all eat healthier (one size does not fit all). YouTuber Laura Try has gone a long way with health analytics as part of trying not to be “skinny fat” in case anyone here has time for sofa sitting / TV watching 😇 |

We’ve watched quite a few of her videos too. Even if you can’t do the Zoe trial, it’s worth buying a glucose monitor to wear for a couple of weeks. Nic just did that and I shared a few experiments with her that I was also doing. For instance, I know that if I have some fats before I eat carbs, my insulin spike is almost negligible, so I’ll now sometimes have a handful of nuts before I have carbs. I’ve also swapped white rice for whole grain, as white rice gives me a high spike. |

Interesting, cathrobinson, I’ve been thinking of doing just that. Like the idea of being my own science experiment  Maybe I could Fmail you at some point for the food schedule/regime you’ve followed?

My daughters put me on to My Protein. The clear vegan stuff tastes much better than other protein bars and shakes I’ve tried which all have a similar taste.

I got some peach tea flavoured clear protein from Amazon - it’s the only one I can cope with as it’s non-gaggy 😳🤣
