What are you all eating?

What is a normal menu for you and how much food? AND how much have you lost to date? Here is yesterdays menu for me... Breakfast---4 ounces cottage cheese Lunch---1 ounce of beef jerkey until totally chewed DInner---1/4 of a Lean Cuisine Snack---Decaf, sugar free, caffeine free, vanilla latte That is all...about 450 calories! I started at 294 and am at 260.5 this a....so 33.5 in 5 weeks. Wi**** was more...seems I dont lose for 10 days then lose, etc! How about you all?

Hi--I worry about this too--I am a little over 3 weeks out and as of my 2 week check up had lost 41 pounds. I lost more because I have more to lose so don't feel bad. Yesterday I ate the following: Breakfast:1/4 c low carb total cereal with protein with a little 1% milk Snack: v-8 juice Lunch: a dollop of mashed potatoes with cream of chicken soup over it Snack: lean ham 2-3 bites Dinner: baked fish and some V-8 Snack: jello with cool whip I go back tommorrow so we will see if I lost anymore. I am starting to have some cravings since I started back to work! ): Cathy

Hey Kimberly, Here's what I ate yesterday: B--protein shake S--4 oz. cottage cheese L--protein shake S--2 oz. chicken w/light mayo D--2 oz. roast beef w/portabello mushrooms and 1 bite of mashed potatoes S--protein shake 78 grams of protein and 64 oz. of water and crystal light. These are the only two things I keep track of. My weight loss is slow and steady. I now average about 3 lbs. a week. I also wi**** were more. I am one month today and down 30.5 lbs. Hang in there!! Maybe push the protein and water and see if it picks up?? I keep seeing this on the California board, it's worth a try. Talk later, Christie

Thanks Christie....I am down 33 as of week 5, so kind of in the same ball park as you! It is good to see what you are eating....how do you make the roast beef? Thanks!

I wish I could say I cooked it but, the roast beef and portabellos came out of a Lean Cuisine. Christie

This is my menu for today: B - 8 oz. Unjury Chocolate protein shake S - 4 oz. of whipped nonfat cottage cheese with 1 tsp. raspberry jam sweetened with fruit juice, and 1 splenda packet. L - 1/2 of a Lean Cuisine, Sugar Free Jello (4oz) S - Carb Countdown Peach Yogurt D - 2 oz. Baked Pork Chop, Veggies, and 1 tbsp. Baked Potato Dry Haven't had my last Snack, or dinner yet, but that is the menu for today. I will have somewhere around 800-900 calories. Judy -30.6 (was 32, but up 1.4 lbs, boo hoo)

It was not a good day for me, we were out all day so I didnt eat too much. B - 1 cheese string L - 2 oz chicken grilled S - 2 oz chicken grilled D - 3 oz chilli Only totaled 330 calories. I am trying to do better today. Today I had B - 1/2 slice bacon, 1 thin slice ham and 1 slice tomato L - 2 slices cooked ham I started at 330 and today am 290, thats 40 pounds in 5.5 weeks. The nutritionist said to aim for 1000 cals a day by the end of the 6th week. Right now that seems like a pretty impossible task. Patty

I am guess I am not eating enough at all.... B - 1 ounce of turkey meat, 1 slice swiss cheese L - 1 ounce of chicken (cooked like for enchiladas) and a teaspon of refriend beans with 1/2 slice of swiss cheese D - not sure yet Water - about 40 ounces I dont think that is enough food... but I feel fine, the weight loss is slow guess I need to eat more....

My menu yesterday was: B - 1/2 svg Honey Bunches of Oats cereal with 1/4 c. 1% milk S - 1/6 Zone protein bar L - 2 slices low-fat provolone cheese with 4 Carr's herb & garlic crackers S - 1 T. Peanut butter with 1/2 svg low fat honey graham cracker D - 1/4 patty (2 oz?) Gorton's garlic & herb fish filet; 2 T. steamed broccoli -- these did not set well S - 1/2 carton of Kroger light yogurt I'm having a lot of difficulty with protein. Ground beef, chicken and (now) fish do not set well at all in my new pouch -- these were the meats that the dietician said would be easiest to digest. I also can't tolerate any form of pasta or noodle. On the other hand, I do very well with all kinds of crackers. Still difficult to get in 32 oz of water a day (still working up to this). I hope this food trouble passes! I am not getting in enough protein. I'm doing well on my weight loss - 30 pounds in 4 weeks, but this week I seem to have hit my first plateau.

Today's menu: B protein shake w/ 1% milk and powdered milk = 35 grams protein L chicken salad = 19 grams protein D tuna salad, 1/2 slice provolone = 12 grams S either cottage cheese or another protein shake...love em!! Water, water , water, and my Optisource Vitamins (love these too!) -48 pounds Thanks for the great post! Blessings, Rachel T.
