On not implementing half the RFCs, this is almost always true... some parts of "standards" are impractical or very difficult to implement, have no practical use or just aren't needed for your use case.

I created a test LMS in 2003 based on SCORM, at the time there really wasn't a good server for the standard... The main point was to be able to test the content which the company was hired to generate. I didn't implement several points of functionality that I just didn't need, didn't care about, and would have been difficult to implement.

That testing LMS turned into an actual product used by several aerospace companies (a few F100's, etc) and was in production for over 15 years. I remain friends with the company owner... It was about 12 years later than someone had an actual course that used one of the features that wasn't implemented... and even then, they only implemented it the half way needed, because it would have been difficult to do the rest.

Yeah, I hate the progressive scrolling crap myself too.

There's a chain here in Phoenix called "Salad and Go" that's pretty awesome... I'd love to see a fast food place that specializes in breakfast items that include keto bread options and low carb bowls all day.

I'll also get plain beef patties or grilled chicken breasts from misc fast food places in a pinch.

Ironically, since the pandemic junk foods have gone up in price much higher relative to meat and eggs.

Similarly, we usually buy several Turkeys for the deep freezer when they're on sale, I also find pork close to $1/lb a few times a year. Eggs are usually pretty well priced but I tend to prefer pasture raised.

I'm not that far from a Walmart in a more upscale neighborhood, I used to use that one for my oil changes. Always interesting seeing a > $100k sports car in a Walmart parking lot (not referring to my car).

Even questionable quality ground beef is almost always a better option than most carb-centric nutrition sources. It freezes well, transports is broadly available and can usually be ordered for delivery.

Eggs, aside from some of the disease issues are also a very good, nutritionally complete source of protein that are relatively inexpensive.

Another issue is that people have been conditioned to eat/snack all the time... a lot of people have moved towards 2-3 meals a day which is closer to historical norms... have protein be your main source, with vegetables as a side, and maybe bread/pasta at some meals.

There are also beans/legumes if you can tolerate them.

There are 2.2lb in 1jg... practically, just cut the amount in half (0.6-0.8g per lb of lean body weight). I say lean body weight as if you are overweight the target isn't the same.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil... a mono-unsaturated fatty acid blend that's one of the healthier minimally processed oils. Not great for medium to high heat cooking. Avocado oil has a similar nutritional profile and can tolerate a bit higher heat. If you are doing anything resembling frying or higher heat cooking you're likely better off with a more saturated fat option, tallow/lard.

Worth noting that like amino acids there are essential fatty acids as well, and most people have poor nutrition there... red meat isn't "only" saturated fat, but a fairly balanced fatty acid profile. You can have too much, but in moderate cuts it isn't too bad.

I usually suggest around 0.5g fat to 1g protein as a minimal, higher if keto/carnivore.

That's true, although fish has a better balance of essential fatty acids than red meat. Although, oddly enough, wagyu has a (much) better fatty acids profile than other types of beef, so you can justify the occasional wallet splurge on health grounds!
