PeteBauman: i’d give Tina a B-. she had great answers for eating after 7pm, detoxing, frozen veggies and organic vs. regular but she was lacking in a few of her other answers:
eggs have the most complete source of protein in nature. they consistently rank with a perfect score on the Protein Efficiency Ratings. of course you can have 1 per day, you should probably eat more. and it actually doesn’t matter how much fat you are getting with your protein, it’s more important to get quality meat (i.e. grass-fed, cage-free, etc). it is possible to get good amounts of protein from legumes and rices, but let’s not kid ourselves and think that the proteins in veggies are as complete as the proteins in meat.
canned fish? bleh. if it’s not wild caught and fresh don’t bring that kool-aid in my kitchen. tuna is an exception for convenience but it’s been shown in numerous studies that wild caught salmon is head and shoulders above canned and farmed, color added crap.
i would’ve loved to see her answer to the “essential carbohydrate” question cause there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
