So eg good sources of soya - I don’t love tofu, but am open to trying again if there are brands or even recipes you recommend; any brands of soya milk that people like (esp one that won’t curdle in my coffee); favourite protein-rich dessert-type yoghurts for a sweetness hit (as a break from FAGE 5% with banana or dates).

Also keen for any tips / recipes for tinned mackerel. I don’t love the stuff tbh but my husband really does so given what Matt has said about how good it is, I’ll definitely try again.

4. My final question is with regards to Vitamin D which I'm on prescribed currently I take maintenance dose of 25,000 units equivalent to 625mg, is it worth me increasing dose.
