CAN I ASK A ???????

What are things everyone is eating?????? I'm always on the run.Whats some quick things.Also just like to know how much others can eat.

I can eat just about everything....nothine high in suger or fat or oily like candy, cookies,fries, deep fried stuff. I cant eat a whole lot. i get full right away however im hungry offten. I always carry crakers in my car just in case. I do eat fast food sometimes but i pay hard for it so i try not to. I know i have STOPPED losing weight but im happy with where i am at. I know once i lose the extra skin and have some niks and tuks ill be alot thinner and i dont wanna be really skinny. im at 145 steady. Im 5'7 and for the longest time i wantted to be 125 130. but my doctor did say i would look very sick if i got down to that. ALMA 279/145

I can eat just about anything. But I try to avoid fried foods and limit my sweets. Today, I went to a Japanese restaurant and had salmon. I ate about 1/3 of the fried rice, only one of the three fried tempura, half the salad, and almost all the salmon (about 3 oz.) I saved the sushi for later in the afternoon. Most of the time, I just love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of cold skim milk. I take vitamins regularly. Veggies are hard to get in, so I like an occasional V-8 from time to time. I eat well, just less of it. ~Laura

For breakfast today I had a low sugar, low carb and high protein slim fast. Kind neat they now make them with splenda! For snack I ate a banana...half hour before I drank some coffee. For lunch I had a smart one Salisbury steak with asparagus. For snack I had some strawberry banana yogurt. For dinner I had sphagetti.. I still get full right away. I stay away from fried foods, foods high in sugar or fat...I can't tolerate bread unless it's toasted. I've been wanting to eat some peanutbutter and jelly on toast but I'm afraid of getting sick.... *sigh* Hugs! Letty -163.4

When I get busy and know my choices might suffer from this, I carry a couple things: Think Thin Protein Bars which are O sugar, low carb, 20 gram protein bars that taste good. If you crave chocolate-- Cliff Nectar bars are good-- they use date sugar--still sugar but it processes slower and the raw food is good for you. I drink lots of protein shakes (Whey Gourmet flavors taste like ice cream cones) and I drink Zero Carb Isopure Vanilla and Chocolate Flavors. Because I love love love coffee, I use some instant expresso, cappuchino flavored protein, water (or carb countdown milk) and ice to make a morning coffee shake. I carry rolled up turkey meat, small apples, small bananas, Dannon Light and Fit yogurt and I eat lots of berries (so good for you and low cals) but I think one of the things I really had to do was wait out hunger. I certainly can eat a a lot more than I used to so I religiously weigh everything--even things I pack as snacks. I also get hungrier more often and quicker so I just have to tell myself I won't die if I wait out the hunger feeling and hang on until snack or meals. Hard-Boiled eggs, Homemade muffins made with Splenda or applesauce, fruit, whole wheat and oat flours and oat bran and some added vanilla protein are great (make them small so you can keep within the serving size). Dried fruit is good too (if it is not difficult to chew and swallow and you eat just a serving and keep an eye on the fructose sugar) and will help keep up iron stores. Muscle milk, muscle milk puddings and sf jello pudding cups are great snacks--add some vanilla or chocolate protein to the "make from the box instant" kind and pour them into travel containers to up the ante. I am three years out--lost 234 pounds and weigh 127. I have kept the weight off all this time doing this type of stuff.
