POLL: What are you eating around 4 weeks out?
I am 5 weeks out, and I really don't like to eat anymore. Things sound good, but then by the time I try to eat them, they don't sound so good anymore.
Sometimes I have a Nectar protein shake for breakfast. Then I eat something small for dinner. At least I am taking my vitamins.
Things I have tried & liked:
-baked stuffed flounder from Red Lobster (a couple bites of my husband's)
-Wendy's chili, sometimes with cheese (only a couple of bites)
-cooked broccoli w/cheese by Birdseye
-zuchini from Japanese Steakhouse (my anniversary treat)
-Lance cheddar cheese on wheat crackers
That's about it. I am getting in about 300 calories a day, but everyone says not to worry about calories this early out.
breakfast: 1/2 sugar free yougert 100 cal
am break: protien shake (yuck)
lunch: 2 meat balls from subway with apeice of provalone cheese
dinner: the inside of a shrimp taco
Here's a list of foods that work for me so far
shrimp ****tail
shrimp kabobs
1.5 oz salmon steak
baked zucchini
scrambeled eggs
el pollo lo****icken thigh
inside of a chicken fresco taco from taco bell
tuna salad
egg salad
breakfast: 1 cup tea with 1 oz skim milk, 15 oz sugar free chocolate milk
lunch: 1/2 can tuna, little low fat mayo, finely chopped onions on a few saltine crackers
snack: 1 reduced fat hot dog
Dinner: 1/3 individual thin crust pizza
I try to get in at least 80 oz of water a day - so far I've had about 50
Note: I was taken off protein drinks because I tried so many that made me :puke: I couldn't do it anymore! My "supplement" is sugar free chocolate milk
