20. Well, my health was fine to begin with.

It has just stayed that way, and gotten even better in some ways over the years.

I have no ethical problem with eggs and cheese.

I periodically count the grams/mg of various things I get from food, by keeping a meticulous food diary for a while. I do have a problem with consuming the recommended amount of protein, even eating chicken. I eat a LOT of fruit. Fruit contains almost no protein, and sometimes no protein at all.

I also have an issue with consuming enough fat, so I have to make an effort to eat some fats.

So I would need to replace poultry with a high protein/high iron food. Soy is the obvious choice, but so far, I find it distasteful to the point that I spit it out.

Legumes come to mind, so maybe that's one source. But you have to eat carbs with it to make it a complete protein...and eating lots of carbs (which I already get a lot of from fruit and breads and cereal) isn't good for health and weight.

I need to research more.
