The Neanderthal Meal: A New Perspective Using Faecal Biomarkers
Neanderthal dietary reconstructions have, to date, been based on indirect evidence and may underestimate the significance of plants as a food source.

Greek Yogurt
I mix fat free yogurt (1 cup, 227 g, 140kcal, 24g protein) with chocolate chips (1 tbsp, 70 kcal), or with cinnamon and chopped apples. Occasionally, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll add berries *(40-60kcal for 100g depending on fruit)* on top of the yogurt for a snack. Do you eat yogurt? If so, how do you enjoy it?
