How much and what did you eat today?

I wanted to see what everyone was eating in a days time and how much,i would like to make sure i'm not eating to much.Well here goes,breakfast,half cup left over chili,lunch half cup chili,supper a chicken leg,snack two oatmeal bars that were 180caleries,I'm waiting on my protein drinks from ups seems the hurricane messed everything up in florida,I hated to hear about the mess it caused.Shelly

I posted this on GA board At this time I whish I had a hard time eating.....my stomach forgot about surgery as long as I don't eat fast....I can eat way more than in a first two months.....I probably stretched it....I'm not reaching for bad staff yet at all, but I eat way too much, and my hunger and thirst are back.... there were non-existant for the firs 6 weeks or so...I have been at 45 lb loss for ....over 2 weeks now, and it's not moving.... So maybe this can help me to cut down on Cals. Here it comes: Breakfast @ 7am: 2scoops of Isopure mixed in a cup of 1% milk (not too bad) Lunch at 12:30: 2 slices of ham and about 2 oz of fontina cheese (not bad either) Snack @ 2 pm: less than a handfull of peanuts Dinner at about 5 pm: Grilled chicken.....5 small strips with a few slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and a few spinach leaves, sprinkled with oil/vinegar and chese (still being a good girl) And then comes trouble at 8 pm:nibbling on handfull of grapes, 2 small slices of turkey breast, 1 oz of broiled salmon (was cooking lunch for tomorrow). I'm even afraid to put it all in in fitday. Had all vitamins, and water. My name is Rita, and I tend to engage myself in self-destructive behavior when it comes to food

Hi Shelly, Food doesn't sit well with me latley......... B: Kashi go lean cereal 1/4 c Cocoa made with 8oz FF Milk L: Boiled Egg w/ lt. mayo, onion, tiny amout of sweet pickel (mashed) S: Iced Green Tea D: Couple bites of Chicken Enchilada and a bite of refried beans which made me Water: Did awful today........

Let's see.... I will tell you what I ate yesterday: breakfast - string cheese lunch - sirimi (2oz), little smokies (6) dinner - chicken stir fry 1/2 cup, 2 tbl rice snack - popcorn, about 1.5 cups 60 oz water, vitamins, calcium, b12 My doc doesn't believe in protein shakes. Makes sense since they are liquid and liquid passes through pretty quickly. I know I need to eat more protein but it's hard when my nutritionist wants me to stick to 3 meals a day and a snack. I eat until I am full and don't drink with my meals. Lori

Tomorrow is 11 weeks post op for me. On Tuesday, I ate: B-- 1 1/2 oz/. tuna with 3 harvest grain wheat thins S-- 1/8 cup of soy nuts (honey roasted) L-- 1/1/2 oz. tuna with 3 harvest grain wheat thins S-- 1/8 cup of soy nuts (honey roasted) D-- 1 1/2 oz. tuna, 1 string cheese, 3 harvest grain wheat thins S--1 oz. blackbean & corn salsa with 3 baked tositos. Lots of water & 1 hour (4 miles) on the Precor at the Y. Jill

I'm never sure if I'm doing the right thing either...but here goes: B- choc protein shake made w/8oz skim milk and a small banana S- string cheese and 4 small pretzels L- 1/2 c refried beans w/chicken and cheese S- South Beach cereal bar (my favorite snack) D- 1/4 c FF ricotta cheese with 2oz ground beef and light Ragu I have been struggling with getting the 64oz of fluids...if I could chug it would be so much easier!!

Hi Shelly, Breakfast - hard boiled egg Lunch - hard boild egg, string cheese Dinner - topping off of two slices of Round Table pizza slices. (I not allowed bread) Dawn

it sounds like everyone that posted,is doing a great job some days i eat more than others,i have lost a total of 63lbs.In my diet and nutrition class i have to take this quarter we have been dicussing protein,in order for you to loose weight u need to eat something with your protein like lettuce or something green to help flush your protein out to lose the fat,if that helps anyone,i know this sounds gross but if you use the bathroom and your stuff floats you are lossing fat,when we dicussed this of course i had to look.Crazy i know,I was also learning that our body nees 9g of our weight in kilograms,so being over weight we need at least 80-100g per day,just thought i would vent on hat i have learned,thanks everyone who posted.Shelly 266/203/135
