Seriously about to lose my mind trying to get a diet plan put together. Part of it is that reading all these suggestions is making me hungry. Part of it is doing all the math and comparing ingredients when I don't have them all here!
I realize that any doctor could come up with a viable plan. Unfortunately, not any doctor can do it on my budget. Solution? Bring the doctor a diet plan and see what we get. My goal is about 2500-3000 calories per day, with a gram of protein for each pound (~150g) per day. This wouldn't be difficult on a high budget, but I'm also needing to keep the family afloat (no daily fillets of salmon for me!) and make sure I've got some good ingredients to feed a growing baby--who also needs to bulk up. It can be a daddy-daughter adventure!
I did find the USDA's database of foods here, and a really good resource for fruits, veggies, and seafood here. They've both been handy, although the database is very difficult to read when you're accustomed to the Nutrition Facts label on food. Ah well, diet plan will be posted when it's done.
