How many grams of fat can you eat today?
Pick your phase and how many meals you eat. You get your fat budget per meal, with the calories and protein that have to come along. Then plan the day against it, from my own food list and 8,422 USDA foods.
30 g a day over 5 meals is 6 g a meal. That's the number to cook with.

A sample day: 30 g of fat over 5 meals.
"Low fat. No alcohol." Then what?
It is 2 AM and you are Googling whether you can eat eggs. The hospital handed you a sheet and sent you home. It did not say how many grams. It did not say which foods. It did not say when a twinge is an emergency. Your gastroenterologist sees you fifteen minutes every six months. The internet is a swamp. Most patients are left alone with this.
I was too. So I built the system myself, and wrote down the rest of it.
A budget you can cook from.
Not a diet sheet. An operational system, built over three years and grounded in current medical literature.
01 The fat budget in actual grams, per day and per meal.
02 The five-meal structure, with the 10 PM snack explained.
03 The 72-hour flare protocol, home care to escalation.
04 Long-term monitoring most patients never hear about.
