Converting recipe servings to DASH servings?
You would need to measure out all the different macronutrients (carbs, proteins and fats) and then divide them by the number of servings you are planning on eating, i.e., 8 oz of meat in two servings would be 4 oz meat. I know this sounds rudimentary, but you will have to measure out all the various ingredients and divide by the number of servings. READ MORE

Can you eat chocolate with avocado in a mousse or something?
Yes, I love avocado-based chocolate mousse! READ MORE
Plant based protein
Depends on the protein powder, how much, what else you are eating, your current weight and health status, etc. Generally speaking, if you buy a high quality protein powder that is organic, 1 protein powder shake, especially if you are very active is likely to be good for a growing adolescent.

Vitamin supplements
Show the label to a well-informed nutritionist in your area and ask if it would be appropriate for you. READ MORE
Fruits on golo diet
I would generally say that having high sugar fruits is probably not beneficial for someone with COPD. COPD is indicative of an inflammatory state and high sugar consumption is generally not beneficial, but lower sugar fruits in moderate amounts, like berries, are generally fine. Please seek out the guidance of a health/medical professional when exercising with COPD. READ MORE
Brunch replacing breakfast and dinner
Yes, this is probably fine, provided it is still a balanced meal and that you are not overeating to the point of discomfort. Conventional brunch meals tend to be high in carbs and fats and this may not be ideal on a daily basis (i.e., waffles, pancakes, bagels, etc.). Higher protein and veggies will provide longer satiation, so you might not be hungry until dinner time. READ MORE
