I previously mentioned eating weird food combinations because of the need to nutrition-max when I was losing weight. Now my cholesterol came back slightly elevated, so I'm reducing saturated fat and eating more oats and psyllium. I apparently can't get past the nutrition-maxing though because I added both TVP and riced cauliflower to oatmeal to increase nutrition and volume. It turns out that I don't WANT oatmeal to have any more volume than it already does, so lesson learned!
(Oh, and cutting saturated fat means no longer eating as much of the yogurt and cottage cheese which became my protein staples last year- the low-fat versions are foul to me. Beans have usually been my primary protein source and I'm going back to them, but since my metabolism slowed this will require eating fewer FUN carbs, alas.)
