I've had a thought on not losing weight....tell me if I'm correct or out in left field.

As I remember , most if not all dairy products are easily digestable. That means your body does not burn much caloriewise in the process of digestion. On the other hand, meats & especially rough, whole foods which have not been pre-assimilated take quite a bit more caloriewise to digest. This would include all veggies & fruits and anything
else which is whole & fiberous & must be broken down.

If what I just said is correct, that means, at each of my 5-6 meals thru-out the day I need to eat a small amount of "Hard to digest" protien & maybe an apple or other fiberous veggie/fruit.

My meals have been 1. 5 eggs scrambled in onions & jalapenos
2 Whey protien 35 grams
3 Either chicken or lean beef
4 #2 repeat
5 Chicken breast w/sauce & a veggie
6 #2 repeat
I can eat this pretty much all thru the week & not get burned out. Then
on weekends I fudge a little (Maybe 500 calories more on sat & sun)

If I substitute meat for whey & add some fiber, I may add some extra
calorie-burning thru digestion of more whole food...?

Am I right on the money, all wet, or somewhere in between on all this?

I wouldn't worry about how many calories your body burns digesting foods, the amount isn't enough to get worked up about going from easily ingested to harder to ingest foods.

Everything else looks good, but keep an eye on your cholesterol. Each egg (assuming you are eating the whole egg) has 213mg of cholesterol, and each chicken breast has about 120mg if I remember right. Add that up together, and that is about 1300mg, more than triple the daily recommended nutritional value per the FDA

$100 seems kind of pricey for the test; in my neck of the woods it costs $40
