Food and me

I wonder sometimes about how much food I eat. When I compare it to what I could eat before, it's not much, but then I see people posting tiny amounts of food. Yesterday I had: breakfast - 3 protein balls lunch - about 1/2 cup beans and ham snack - a 100 calorie pack of ritz mix (on the road) dinner - 3 coconut shrimp and some salad (at Joe's Crab Shack) I'm on vacation and at a friend's house. She wanted to go to Joe's last night and I almost gagged watching her eat the 40 shrimp dinner. But, yanno, a year ago I could have eaten it too. How am I doing? Lynne

Lynne, Your menu sounds great to me... I mean really look at what you posted, not much food at all. Dosen't it amaze you when you really stop and think of what you used to eat in one meal compared to what you eat in a full day now?? You are doing great!!! Huggs, Sharon

Lynne, Looks like you are doing great. What are protien balls? My menu B: yogurt (sugar free, fat free) Snack: 1/4 bagel with cream cheese L: 1/4 cup sweet potato 1/2 cup salad with lettuce, tomato & cucumber Snack: V8 Dinner: chicken (small amount) green beans Snack: popcorn Just by looking at the menu I see that there is not enough protien - no wonder I am low in iron. See this activity was helpful to me. Sarah
