Question 1

breakfast: 1/2lb grassfed steak+3 eggs+steam spinach, lunch: 3 sausages + 2 eggs+salad, dinner: 6 chicken breast fillet+steamed brocolli. balanced ok?

Accepted Answer

Lots of protein!: You are consuming a large amount of protein.  Your body likely cannot process that amount, and it might go to waste (unless you are muscular and weight lifting professionally).  Consider eating just half of that amount of protein at each meal, and supplement with two to three healthy snacks in between meals.  Smaller frequent meals are better than 3 large meals.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: A brief review of the eggo product line indicates that there are no peanuts or tree nuts in any of the products.  Most contain soy, but only 5% of peanut allergic children cross-react with soy. Product ingredients occasionally change, and it is always a good idea to check the label.

Question 5

Question 6

are beef sweetbreads healthy?

Accepted Answer

No: Sweetbread is the pancreas. First, any beef product is unhealthy. There is no reason to ever eat that. There are many other dining options out there. Second, you increase your fat intake (particularly the pancreas compared to muscle meat), cholesterol, and inflammation, especially if it's not organic, free-roaming, vegetarian-fed (what cows naturally eat).

Question 7

what has more calories - roasted pork loin or chop?

Accepted Answer

Portion control: If they are the same weight and prepared in the same way and have equal fat, then they have equal amounts of calories.  The trick is portion control and preparation to make them equal if that is the goal, and removing the fat and diminishing the portion size if weight control is an issue.
