So what did you eat Wednesday?

Hi groupies...I've noticed a common theme and think we can help eac other. We all seem to be having a hard time getting in enough protein and calories and we all would like ideas on what to eat. I know they do this on the main board and on the Cali board but I think it would be helpful to post here. My intake was lousy today since I didn't drink my shake.. 1 protein bar 15 gms 220 calories 1/2 cup chili with cheese 18gms protein 250 calories Todays total 33 protein and 470 calories...not a very good day, nutrition wise...I'm going to try for a high pro snack before I go to bed. So how well did you do? CJ

I am not a good person to use if you are seeking positive examples... B - 3 tablespoons concentrated protein (18 grams protein) L - Lean Hot Pocket w/ egg, cheese, and bacon (8 grams protein) S - Nuts D - Chicken w/ mozarella cheese and little homemade marinra sauce Guessing I got about 40 grams of protein....Got in all my water. About 500 calories... I had to force myself to eat either of those meals. I do even worse on days I work.... A

It really helps to know that so many of us share the same challenges. I worry non-stop all the time about getting enough protein, liquids and food. I am so tired of it. Yesterday, I did terrible on protein...I got up very lightheaded and wobbly today so I'm paying for it. AM - 4 bites of a yukky protein bar Lunch - Progresso Low Fat Chicken Noodle soup - this is loaded with chicken and carrots so I ate as much as I could of that and just a few noodles. I maybe had about 2 oz. Dinner - 1/4 thin hamburger patty. (first time for meat and handled it with no problem.) I use Isopure for my protein drink and I screwed up my schedule drinking it so I maybe got only 20 grams plus whatever was in the food. Today is a bit better - AM I had a 1/2 slice bacon and about an ounce of scrambled egg. I know I should not do bacon but I did it for the protein. PM - Detour Protein Bar (I can only eat 1/2) I have had about 20 grams of protein so far today - still have 1/2 an Isopure left. Don't know what I'll have tonight. I usually have to FORCE myself to eat at night. Leslie.
