The Eggo waffles worked well for breakfast. They taste a little sweet on their own which is interesting since they only have 1.5g of sugar each.
I was able to have a package of cheese crackers with peanut butter since I had enough grams of fat and sugar left.
I double checked the package of instant chocolate pudding. It had 460mg of salt per serving. Really, that’s a lot of salt. Given that, I don’t want to eat more than one serving a day.

I’m also keeping a simple spreadsheet of my numbers so I can easily print that off & hand it to my doctor. They keep telling me *I’m* failing the meds they put me one. I say the meds are failing me. So, I’m going to hand over the numbers of what I’ve been eating and maybe we can adjust the cholesterol meds from there. I may need to go on a combination of drugs to get the cholesterol and triglycerides down to appropriate levels.
This issue is genetic. All my aunts & uncles on my mom’s side of the family have this issue. My uncles had heart attacks and strokes by their early 40s.
However, I really should do what I can and not use that as an excuse and pig out on whatever I feel like eating.

I think your doctors are not very compassionate. Maybe they are not so great.
Having all this monitored so well will really impress them I think and should help them fine tune your health care.
