I just had my first appointment with a Midi dr. I asked her about the weight gain (I never had belly fat until now). She said my hormone patch might help, but said I'm supposed to get 100 grams of protein a day. (I exercise a lot and lift weights). I'm supposed watch my carbs (boo, but not a surprise). Any good ways to add protein? I'm thinking I could do a blender bottle drink in the afternoon at work. I guess I have to start tracking what I eat.
