This is so great! Kathleen, when it comes to rda's, what would you prioritize, the 1.6 per kg protein or hitting your rda's? I find it difficult to hit the magnesium the most. Milk is the one that gets me everything. Can you recommend any lower protein foods that help hit rda's? I am implementing potatoes at dinner. Thanks so much for this great post!

Hi Kathleen. Thank you so much for these helpful guidelines. Very interesting stuff. I really appreciate your perspective on these matters.

Just a question, regarding the "Try to have distinct meals vs. grazing because of stomach acid recovery, the migrating motor complex, etc. This means eating every 3-4hrs" recommendations, what about drinking between meals?

At work I sorta sip on low fat milk through my shift, and at home I have coffees with some coconut oil and full cream milk between meals, or sometimes some cream in the coffee. Sometimes I also have a fruit juice (OJ or grape juice) between meals. Is this habit then potentially unhelpful for my gut as regards the migrating motor complex from your informed perspective?

I have been trying to drink less water because I think beforehand I was just drinking way too much water which I have come to understand is unhelpful for my body, but is drinking plain or sparkling water then better between meals?

Thanks so much again for everything, I am really enjoying delving into your work. All the best from Germany,

Graham.
