Zucchini/squash

I wonder if people on here eat alot of squash/zucchini? And i don't mean like 1 zucchini a few times a week or some squash a few times a week.

My day often looks like this, i always eat ground beef with stewed apples in the morning, midday is goat kefir with raw honey.

But at dinner i like to have a big hearty meal, so i eat 500 grams of butternut squash, 2 whole zucchinis bakes in some tallow, and i add some lean turkey for my protein, sometimes if still hungry i bake some apples or mango as desert. I have some high quality olive oil which i sometimes add.

I never liked a cold or really sweet dinner, any of you eat large amounts of squash? Bonus that squash and zucchini is really nutritious.

DHA/EPA/omega 3

I've already made several posts about omega 3, but never in depth about DHA and EPA in specific.

I always felt worse from fatty fish, and i linked it to the pufa in fatty fish, as omega 3 is the most unstable fat out there, and also the omega3/choline/brain correlation.

I remember i got sick from sardines, like depressed, heavy eye bags, eczema.

So my solution was to just stop eating fatty fish and stay to lower fat fish, but for the last 2 months I've included squid, it is low fat/low pufa but since incorporating it i experienced eczema and fatigue, basically the same as i got years ago when i ate alot of sardines, now i ate alot of squid.

Also an interesting observation is i get white dots on my nails, last time i had those was when i included alot of fatty fish, years ago.

So squid is low pufa and low fat, but still i got these symptoms, and apparently squid is quite unique, despite it being low in pufa, it has the same amount of dha+epa as sardines, and if you look into it, DHA is the most unstable of all fats, after it comes EPA, and yes i know it is a natural source and all but i am still getting the symptoms, right now i stopped eating squid for 7 days and things start to improve again.

I know i may be an outlier on here when it comes to being sensitive to omega 3, but i have a feeling that 10 years being on a low omega 6 diet, it also maby made me more sensitive to too much omega 3, i admit i ate squid 4-5 times a week which maby is too much, but i liked the taste and in the beginning it felt good, but with every omega 3 rich source i start to feel like crap after a while.

The moments I've felt the best, it didn't include alot of fish.
