I eat eggs, beans, cheese and fish (probably with mercury), Lynn, to

get my protein. I don't use much soy anymore because of my

diminished thyroid uptake. I avoid eating pig, cow, birds and milk.

This and never having smoked has paid off for me over the years as

far as appearance is concerned, I can tell you that much. I am 74

but people are credulous when they find that out. (However, if they

see me getting up from a chair or going down stairs, there's the give

away!)

For protein powder, I am using brown rice protein at this point.

I do fall short some days on my protein requirement but usually come

pretty close. As I posted here once, you usually just calculate your

major protein choice but there is protein in some of the other foods

you are eating (whole grains for instance) and surprisingly they add

too.
