Most dieticians are worse than useless. They push low fat bullshit on
nearly everybody. They tell people to restrict salt even if the person has
no problems with salt. They recommend eating worthless starches. I laugh
at all the clowns who have wasted decades of their lives following dietary
advice that reduced pleasure w/o really impacting health. Egg substitute
and skim milk isn't living, it's existing.

All that I have seen do push low fat but... The diet that I am naturally
inclined to eat, whole vegetables and beans is so low in fat that I have to
make it a point to add fat to it. But none have told me to restrict salt.
Salt is not a problem for me. They do not recommend eating worthless
starches either but whole grains. None have told me to use an egg
substitute, even when I did eat eggs. I ate eggs for breakfast every Friday
morning while pregnant because I had to go to the Dr. and lab in another
city. I ate at a Korean place that made an egg sandwich for breakfast. Had
that every week. Also ate some boiled eggs and egg salad for lunch with
real, full fat mayo on occasion. And tuna salad with the same.

That dietician did try to get me to eat fat free cheese and then add fat
back in, in the form of margarine on my toast and pushed me to eat reduced
fat peanut butter. I was like... Uh... No. I'll just eat the real thing.

One thing that really shocked her was that I got the portion sizes exactly
right except for the cheese. I was shocked that a serving of cheese was so
much! My mom had a cheese and bread phobia. Refused to eat bread with the
exception of road trips when she made cold meatloaf sandwiches. But if she
ordered a burger or sandwich in a restaurant, she always ripped all or at
least half of the bread or bun off. She was convinced that bread and cheese
made people fat. So if I did eat cheese, I shaved off the thinnest slice
possible and then cut it into matchstick sized sticks to make it last longer
as I ate it.

Other than the cheese, which allowed me 7, dice sized cubes, I got all
portions dead on from her basket of fake foods. She said nobody ever got
the portion sizes right. That amazed me. How hard is it to eyeball
something and see how much it is? I guess if you cook all the time, these
are things you would know. And that's one reason I dislike so many
restaurants. The portions they serve are enough to feed a family! Note
that I say some and not all. A lot of places here are good to do light or
lite portions or will give you side dishes.
