longtime nutritarian/wfpb eater here. i loved eating fruit on an empty stomach, oatmeal with some fruit, seeds & nut butter or tofu scramble for breakfast. then a big salad for lunch. a soup & like zucchini noodles with a lentil mushroom walnut bolognese. to snack i’d have a date or nana nice cream. i lost so much weight & was at my ideal weight throughout my thirties. i had two wonderful plant-based pregnancies. then i went to get my first dexascan and was so sad to find that i have osteopenia🥺 and 9th percentile for bone density compared to my age group on body composition scan, which means about 91% of women your age have higher bone density than i do. inwonder if this happened because for past 13 years i have eaten around 65-70 gr protrin max a day, lost 25 pounds weight & lost a lot of my bone density? Now for the past year i have been working with a health/perimenopause coach, trying to eat 120 gr protein a day & progressive strength training and i have unfortunately gained a lot of weight and don’t feel like myself :-((( i’m so confused & disappointed.
