Saturday--What are we eating?

I cannot believe I consumed 94 grams of protein yesterday!! How much is too much? My doc said to hit the goal of 60grams..but never said anything about going over. Anyway...Heres the plan today B-1 egg...I did make a slice of thin rye bread...took two bites and could not eat anymore--6g prot S-Protein drink=20 g protein L-deli chicken and low fat cheese wrapped in lettuce-10 g protein D-Lobster!! I am going out with my DH Bob...to celebrate our anniverary... Have a great day everyone...I am off to watch my 11 yr old cheerlead for the town football league! Joanie

Joanie, That's great that you can get in that much protein. The Dr.'s tell you get a minimum of 60 grams in but you can go all the up to 120 or so. I do not believe there would be any problems with consuming that much protein. I know I'm early in the game but I figured I'd share. B - 1 scrambled egg 6 g. Prot. L - 6 oz. Protein Shake (1/2 of a Real meal Pouch, didnt like the chocolate) 30 G. Prot. S - Fruit 2 O Ice (Counts as 6 ozs fluid I believe) D - 2 oz. Chicken salad ( which is just some canned tuna with a little bit of mayo and some seasonings) 1 saltine (this wasnt good) 15 g. Prot. Also so far I have consumed approx 15 oz of sugar free Kool Aid. I have to work on my fluid intake. I will most likely have some yogurt later to get more protein in and drink drink drink the rest of the night. ~Julie~

You're doing great Julie! My lobster was terrific...it came with corn and boiled potatoes...but the lobster was enogh for me!! Bob and I sat and watched a live band and I had two cups of decaf coffee..it was a great night! Joanie

I DIDN'T DO GOOD TODAY, NOT ENOUGH CALORIES AND TOO MANY CARBS B-PROTEIN SHAKE 35 GRAMS PROTEIN L-DETOUR BAR D-2 OZ STEAK S-8 BABY CARROTS, 4T LOW FAT SOURCREAM DECAF COFFEE W/CREAM - DECAF TEA W/SKIM MILK JOANIE, I DON'T THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM CONSUMING THAT MUCH PROTEIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT I DID ASK THE NUTRITIONIST THE QUESTION ABOUT TOO MUCH PROTEIN AT ONCE BECAUSE I WAS ASKING ABOUT A PROTEIN SHAKE WITH 50 GRAMS IN IT - HER ANSWER TO ME WAS - MY BODY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE 50 GRAMS AT ONCE AND THE REMAINING WOULD BE CONVERTED TO BURN AS CALORIES - I HOPE I REMEMBER THIS CORRECTLY - SHE SAID TO SPREAD IT OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY OR I WAS WASTING MY MONEY ON THE SHAKES - SINCE THEN I ONLY PUT ONE SCOOP FOR 25 GRAMS OR SOMETIMES 1 1/2 SCOOPS - JUST IN CASE THAT HELPS, I THOUGHT I WOULD PUT IT OUT THERE - ONE OF THE SUPPORT GROUPS I WENT TO I REMEMBER 60 IS THE MINIMUM BUT THEY PREFER 80 - 100 GRAMS OF PROTEIN.

Hi everyone, Here is what I had today. B: 1 egg, 1 sausage link, 3 bites of a wheat bagel S: 11oz protein shake L; I skipped today, got busy cleaning and forgot D: 2 ozs. pork roast, 2 tsp. mashed potatoes, 2 tsp. peas/carrots S; 1/4 cup popcorn Not my healthiest day for food. Last night I ended up buying a chicken caesar salad at Burger King and ate about a quarter cup. I get cleaning and I just don't want to eat. So, anyway today I cooked what I was going to last night. This was also my first time trying popcorn, it was okay, but now I am really thirsty. I am not going to make a habit of eating it. Tomorrow is our party and I am cooking lots of food, but healthier stuff so I will eat better. (I hope). Anne
