On a separate note, I sent nitpicky advisor the data he requested a week ago, he hasn’t gotten back to me about it nor did he respond to my follow up. He did respond to my panic email.
I’m a bit paranoid that I’m being abandoned
Now that I think about it, I’m always afraid of being abandoned 
Anna cake day!!!
Wouldn’t the main concern be that you’d be in big trouble with your health?
I mean, I can’t claim to know all about this stuff but if you actually were going through menopause rn, that would be a huge issue. Although I would think that’s highly unlikely. i paid enough attention in gynecology to know that. Especially if you only suspect that because of perceived(!) fat gain around the midsection.
Happy cake day, @anna_5588!
Good point. I’m pretty sure I’d not be in actual menopause, it more the hormone tanking part
I’d been doing great hormone wise. Don’t want that to change
Do you prepare your eggs the same way every single time? John Meadows talked about cooking them in a variety of ways as a means to prevent this. I ran into similar issues and found that helpful.
Basically. In a pan with butter (omelette, scrambled)…
I’ll try boiling and poaching and see if this helps
Great to see Anna. You’re doing the things that are getting you to your goals: keep it up!

Something else to maybe try would be just eating the yolk. In most cases the intolerance is to the white (different composition than the yolk). I’ve worked with bodybuilders and physique competitors that have developed an intolerance to egg whites after eating high quantities over long periods of time. Also, I’ve worked with folks with GI and autoimmune issues that can’t tolerate the whites, but do well with the yolks.
Thanks!
I’ll give that a try if cooking in a different way doesn’t work.
Egg yolks are my favourite!
You look healthy. Keep gaining.
@dagill2 I sent the writing piece to the emerging markets professor. He got back to me

This professor changed my academic life
That’s awesome!
Should we be worried that he got your name wrong or am I just out of the loop.
I mean she seemed to put the subject line of her email as “Hi from Angela.” So you’re probably out of the loop and Anna is probably not great at writing subject lines.
Congrats though Anna that’s awesome, I forgot to mention but I read that chapter you posted on emerging markets a while back, I thought it was very good for a rough draft!
