It's not really healthy to rely mainly on protein as an energy source. For one thing, low carb diets tend to be low in fiber too, and human bodies are designed to use carbohydrates and fats as energy, not protein. A diet with enough fat in it to make up for not having many carbohydrates is usually bad for the heart and blood pressure.

Not to mention, popular beauty standards tend to encourage woman to be underweight. It's actually just as unhealthy to be too thin as it is to be overweight.

You're hired as my new nutritionist

Haha, I'm not a major expert on the subject. I've just done some research into it for the sake of maintaining a healthy diet on a budget.

Plus, I'm underweight myself, and used to be worse, so I know firsthand the kind of health problems it can cause.

Not up for debate. You're hired. Work up a meal plan immediately.

I'll bribe Kingpin into cooking for both of us.

[Is she serious...? Hard to tell.]

I'd need to know your activity level, but I'm guessing it's high. I eat a lot of lean meats like fish, and mostly go for carbs at the start of the day or when I'm working late.

I do have a weakness for sweets, though. But a sugary snack between meals helps keep up mental energy.

I guess it would be high? I don't feel like I'm super active but I guess I don't really know what to compare to.

I like snacking on fruit... Some sweets are just TOO sweet for me, you know?

Doing a lot of dancing counts as high activity.

I have a major sweet tooth, so I don't have that problem with most things, but I do know what you mean. I like pastries, myself.

That's kinda cute. You're like a mini adult serious businessman but you love sugar.

I don't even know what kinds of pastries I like... maybe fruit tarts? Sometimes they add too much sugar, though.

Sugar is good for mental energy, and helps me focus while I work.

Strawberry and lemon pastries might be good. They tend to have a bit of sourness to them that balances out the sweet.

You don't need to make excuses, Akechi-kun.

Mmm, yes, now you're speaking my language.

Sorry, I'm a little used to people looking down on me whenever I come across as childish.

I'm partial to strawberry toppings, myself. I do like a bit of tartness mixed in with my sweets.

You're making me hungry!!!!

Is that a request for a bakery recommendation?

Could be.

I know of a few good ones on level 2.
