It says ‘low in’ not ‘absent’.

Like the gold star recommendation is 9-11 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. After which there’s no significant health advantage to consuming more plants.

Being an omnivore is the tits. Animal foods are super nutrient dense, so you really don’t need a whole lot, anyways.

People tend to love my cooking, but if there’s one complaint I get (fairly often) it’s “needs more meat.”(I’m in USA) IMO, plates should look like a garden, full of colors and diversity, and obviously plant-forward.

I’d suggest something like ~1 lb of veggies (several servings) to ~.25 lb (single-serving) of meat. That’s my ideal ratio, anyways. If you follow that guideline for every meal you’ll easily get 12 servings of vegetables and about three servings of high-quality meat protein.

And fatty fish is a really big deal. Try to get at least a couple servings a week. ALA doesn’t meaningfully convert into DHA nor EPA… I like canned salmon (or sardines, mackerel, herring, etc) for this. Also the occasional offal is excellent, the liver being ‘nature’s multivitamin.’

And save bones for stocks. All that cartilage and collagen and marrow and glucosamine and chondroitin and calcium and so many nutrients and minerals in the bones! And of course you need a bunch of carrots and celery and onions and garlic and potatoes to go with the stock! Maybe some lentils or whatever.

There are meal replacement shakes.

How many equal signs you using?
