[07-09-2025 09:39] PPM 1: One egg per day is a better idea. Please share the food plate images of the patient for us to evaluate better.
[07-09-2025 12.50] PA: Noted Doctor
[07-09-2025 12:52] PA: This is what patient generally use to track and make his own meals

[07-09-2025 12.56] PPM 1: πŸ‘†@PPM3@PPM2 @PPM5@PPM6 please check out the nicely done work of this patient's advocate here as far as quantitative documentation of his diet energy inputs are concerned
[07-09-2025 16:19] PPM 2: Fantastic work! Would love to see pictures of food plates though.
[07-09-2025 16:20] PPM 2: Hopefully one day our sensor will be able to pick how much salt the foodplate has and how many micro nutrients etc.
[07-09-2025 17:23] PA: Will share starting tomorrow morning
[07-09-2025 18:33] PPM 5: Brilliant!!
[07-09-2025 18:33] PPM 5: What is the patient advocate using to compute this from the patient's food plate? Any app?
[07-09-2025 19:05] PA: The patient weighs the ingredients before cooking so that it is easier to track macro nutrients. Nutrition facts of each ingredient are gathered from either food labels or through a Google search, 
Once obtained 
According to patients knowledge Each Carb and Protein is multiplied by 4 as 1gm of carb / protein = 4 calories 
And Fat is multiplied by 9 as 1gm fat = 9 calories
[07-09-2025 19:08] PPM 5: Superb! What a patient we have!!
[07-09-2025 19:14] PPM 2: Great work and insights.

2. Does workouts (started in 2020 Age 17)
3. Also into Martial Arts So important to maintain weight while getting stronger

[07-09-2025 20:27] PPM 1: Suggest a new title!
[07-09-2025 20:50] PPM2: 22/M Health Journey with Graves' Disease
[07-09-2025 21:32] PPM 1: Duration of disease would be useful upfront in the title
[08-09-2025 07.51] PA: Patient converts ingredients in the plate, into a shake using water only, and consume it after Having eggs
[08-09-2025 07:58] PPM 1: I should have taken a side profile of the patient when met him at the time with weight loss etc because now I'm sure that if I see him again he'll look more like a body builder!
[08-09-2025 08:01] PA: Patient has pictures/videos of before the weightloss and after the weightloss
[08-09-2025 08:03] PPM 1: Here are some transformative images of another past patient from may to November 2023. Will try to gather recent ones to update there πŸ‘‡
