Post what you ate today.....

I think we should do this more often! Then, we can get ideas from others on new foods and stuff! I have been hungry all dang day! I think I have done pretty okay though! For breakfast I had 1/2 cup of coffee with 1 scoop of Protowhey, 1/3 cup of egg beater with 1/8 cup of cheese Lunch: 2.5 ounce of chicken breast with 1/2 cup of cream of mushroom on it. Snack: Will have 1 scoop of Protowhey blended with low carb milk and swiss miss diet cocoa Snack again: 1 oz String cheese/.5 beef jerkey Dinner: The guts of a chicken fajita pita??? Totals are.... 728 calories 25 fat 28 carbs 98 protein! If this doesn't break my stall who knows what will! !Actually, it has broken a little....225 is now 221.5!! SO, there is hope! LOL! Going to chuck e cheese for a party..dont want to touch the food!

For breakfast I had 8 oz of skim milk with my protein powder. Snack - a can of Tomato Juice Lunch - Salad with lettuce, tomato, onion, chicken and low fat, sugar free Italian dressing No afternoon snack, too full. Dinner - a piece of lean beef with onions and mushrooms Bedtime snack, a sugar free fudgebar from Dairy Queen. Not the best day, but I didn't have any potatoes, chips, bread, rice or pasta, which was my goal. I have got to stay away from those carbs. They make me sooooo hungry. Take care all, Tiffany 283/198/160

Hey there, MT, You did awesome today! Wow! I like the idea of posting what we ate, also. It is good to get ideas from others. I was in the hair salon for three hours today, so my eating was all screwed up today. I had a protein shake with half milk/halk water carb countdown yogurt steak and grilled onions And of course, loads of iced coffee. That's about it! I need to get back on track tomorrow. Hugs, Denise

B:egg salad on 1/2 slice of toasted wheat bread L:1 oz of cheese and 1/2oz of chicken D:3 Jalapeno "poppers" that I scraped off as much breading as I could 2 glasses of wine Bad, bad, bad...not enough protein...did get in all my water and supplements though. --Cori

OMG! I fell like such a pig compared to you guys!!! This is what I ate yesterday... B: two small crepes with SF syrup S: 1/2 of a small turkey wrap L: Salad with chicken, egg, and cheese and low-fat dressing S: rice krispie treat (BAD AMBER!!!) D: 3 oz chicken stuffed with artichokes and cream sauce, 2 Tbsp corn S: the other 1/2 of my wrap It came up to about 823 calories and 52g protein (my surgeon says 50g minimum).

Hey Amber! Hon, you did awesome! You are hardly a pig; you are eating the amounts we should be eating at this stage. It was just a hard day for me because I was in the salon most of the day. I always try to get in 60-80 grams of protein (per my surgeon) but I am instructed not to count calories at this point. I think at 6 months we start to count calories. Anyway, I think your menu sounds great. And I totally want the recipe for the artichoke chicken! Sounds awesome! And I have also tried a rice crispy treat! LOL! It was AWESOME and the perfect amount of sugar (8 grams). I didn't dump and it was a delicious treat! Nothing wrong with treats in moderation. This is my motto! You are right on track as far as food intake. I need to be more diligent and ensure I get enough in. You are doing awesome. Can you post your recipe? Hugs, Denise

Sorry Denise... no recipe. I wish I had it! LOL!!! My hubby bought the chicken at our grocery store's "pre-made dinner" area in the deli/bakery. All he had to do was throw it in the oven and heat it up. Today we had our main meal at lunch that was from the pre-made area, and it was salmon filets with some kinda lemon and dill cream sauce. I am trying to not eat so much of the sauce as I am sure it is high in calories and fat! But I had like 2 bites of rice and some corn with it! YUM! My hubby comes up with the best recipes, though. I was craving IHOP pumpkin pancakes one day, so he made me a sugar free version!!! If you want that recipe, e-mail me: [email protected] *~Amber~*

Well, I'm reluctant to post this but here goes.... B-Skipped...slept very late! L-1/2 of a Smokehouse Wrap (took most of tortilla off and it has lettuce, bacon and grilled chicken inside). From Sonic S-Nuts D-1/2 of Smokehouse wrap S-Cheese and nuts I quit counting things...it was just getting to be so crazy and, so I don't worry about my calories, and protein level. I try hard to drink the amount I need to and to eat well balanced meals. Sometimes I'm amazed at all of the numbers that people post with their meals. I used fitday for a while and that's pretty cool but, then I just decided that maybe I needed to not worry so much about it. I also don't weigh as much as I used to...I go 2-3 weeks without stepping on a scale. It was starting to stress me out and I decided to get rid of that. I tossed my scale to the curb and now I only weigh at work. Kelli 255/190/150

Breakfast: one scrambled egg with cheese, 2 ounces of granola with 2 percent milk on it Lunch: 4 ounces of cheese or tuna, chicken or turkey salad and part of an apple or other fruit Snack: 1 ounce of organic cheese crackers (this is actually a lot and I sometimes can't eat them all) Dinner: 4 ounces of vegetable chili with chicken chunks, salad Snack: 1 sugar free carb smart ice cream bar For drinks, I drink Crystal Light, herb tea, decaffinated tea and water. I also drink two protein drinks a day if I can get them in, usually a prepared one and a glass of milk. I get rather severly bloated by the protein drinks, so I am having a hard time forcing myself to drink them. My hair isn't falling out yet, though, so I seem to be doing Ok. I have been CRAVING fruit lately, so I also have been drinking a small glass of orange juice or eating some berries for snacks. Karen
