eat or not to eat

this is my dilemma some say to eat 6 small meals a day others say they only eat 1 meal and drink all day long im so confused can some 1 tell me what they eat in a day thank you emi 240/200

First thing is....what has your Dr. told you to do. I was told to eat 6 small meals a day. Which I don't do. I eat 3 meals a day plus an evening snack. My hunger has not returned yet, and when I am busy I simply forget to eat. My advise is to follow your Dr. suggestions.

What does your doctor say? Go with that. I eat different things each day, but it kinda went like this yesterday: Morning-Protein drink Lunch- chicken salad on 4 Ritz crackers, and tomato slices with ginger soy sauce. afternoon snack-1 piece string cheese and small bag peanuts Dinner- 3 oz. poached salmon with creamy dill sauce, steamed asparagus Night snack- popcorn, protein drink Hope this helps.

my doctor really never told me what to eat but the nutrionist told me 6 small meal which i did for the first 2 month them when 2 weeks went by and no weight lose she told me to go back to basic and eat only liquids and soft protien that seemed to work for alittle but now i hit another plateu and the nutruionst left my surgeons office so i have no idea what to do but this is my typical day 6am decafe with 1 cup skim or carb count milk 9am 1.2 yougart 12pm 1/2 cottage cheese 2pm protien shake 5 pm soup or tuna with a little veggies 8pm protein shake water and crystal light all day

Hi Emma! I am also not a doctor, but these are my instructions from my surgeon who is very specific. I had lap rny on January 10, 2005. This is a typical day for me. He told me no starches such as potato, rice, pasta, bread, even some vegetables have a lot of natural sugar and starch such as carrots, squash, pumpkin. I also can't have fruits like apples, oranges, strawberries because of the high sugar content. He said tha****ermelon and fresh blueberries are very good. I have three meals per day and no snacks. Breakfast - protein shake Lunch - 3-4 oz. chicken or fish (sometimes shrimp or scallops) 1 oz. of baby greens with a dressing that I make out of balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Sometimes, I just squeeze lemon juice over the greens. Dinner - 3-4 oz. chicken or fish (sometimes shrimp or scallops) 1-2 oz. of either greens or a cooked vegetable (green beans, eggplant, zucchini, etc. I also drink 2 protein shakes twice a day for a total of 70 grams of protein. It is also very important that you drink a lot of water. I drink between 130-140 oz. of water which my doctor told me was fine. I also exercise 5- days a week for 50-60 min. Sometimes, I will also break this up into 2 sessions since I have been having problems with my Achilles tendon. Hope this helps! Sorry, if I sounded like I was lecturing. Didn't mean to sound that way. I also realize that every doctor is different. Feel free to e-mail me if you want. Take care and Congratulations on your progress!
