Friday-What are We Eating?

Its going to be a busy weekend with kids activities and a gathering here for my MIL's 85th bday. I am catering most of the food, so it shouldn't be too bad. Just keeping the house clean will be a chore! OK..here goes B-carb countdown choc and skimmed mixed...thinking of adding some protein pwdr to equal 30 g of protein... S-protein bar --Momentum 12 g protein L-Tuna salad 2 oz-14 g protein S-mozzarella stick D-going out with people from work..TGIFs...so maybe a grilled chicken salad...ugh Chicken again? Anyone have suggestions about what I can order there???

I noticed on yesterdays "Eating" post there were 17 replies..from the same six of seven people..but 85 "views"...stop lurking and join in gang! It helps to get lots of suggestions of what people are eating!! Enjoy your day! Joanie

Joanie, Sorry, I'm one of the people who lurk. I just had my first informational meeeting last night with Dr. Barba. I've been coming to the sight for about a month though. You guys are awesome! I have been saving the posts on "what are we eating?" almost every day and making a chart of things for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. That way, when I finally do have the surgery, I'll have a whole list of things that I can eat....it will help me not head for the bad stuff. I promise to post more, but I don't think you want to hear what I am still eating at this point....lol.

Christine, Glad you are benefiting from our eating plans. You will soon be here with us. We ended up going to a local small bar/restaurant where everything is fried... I ordered a grilled chicke salad and brought a protein drink. I have had 87 g of protein today...but went to my high side on calories. Tomorrow is another day! Gnite all Joanie

Happy Friday everyone!! For Breakfast: Carb Countdown Yogurt 6 oz. cup, 12 g protein Snack: Protein Shake, 11 oz, 20g protein Lunch: Leftover eggplant parmesan (Mmmmm yummy) Snack: Protein bar, 20g protein Dinner: BBQ ribs (maybe part of one anyway) green beans, 2 tsp. mashed potatoes Have a great day. Hope to see most of you guys at the dinner on Saturday! Joanie, some of the "views" can be from us also. I know I go back and check what everyone else is eating also, usually a few times... Bye, Anne

Hi Everyone, Friday's are my "way to Go, Deb" Days...if I was good all week I treat myself alittle... B - 3/4 cup Total Protein cereal L - Panera!! My all-time fav lunch place.

Well, I actually forced breakfast this morning. I had a celery stick with peanut butter. At break time I had a protein bar and when I got home I had about 2tbsp rice w/chicken & some fruit. Who knows what's for dinner- it's Friday! Christine
