Thursday & Friday Menus

I figured since we have a smaller group could stick 2 days togther. Hope no one minds...

Thursday: 8 oz skim milk with 1 scoop choc Whey Tech from Vit. shoppe scrapple, fried egg 1/2 c chex mix 3 oz garlic/butter flavor catfish fillet 7 tiny tastycake cookies - Totals Calories-526 FAT-20 CARBS-31 PROTEIN-49 Drinks - diet lemon Nestea - fell about 20 oz short of goal lately. I need to refocus on that & start drinking plain old ice water again. I get more in that way.

My Thursday Menu: AM: cup of decaf coffee 8oz Vanilla Very Berry Protein (Carb Busters DLite) Lunch: 1/2 egg salad sandwich (very thin bread) 3 pickle chips 1/2 slice of pineapple Dinner: 1/4 baked chicken breast butter parlsey potatoes green beans Snack: 1/2 egg salad sandwich (very thin bread) Drinks: water and cranberry-grape juice very close to goal with protein and fluids

Protein Drink - 30 gms protein (Unjury chocolate-1/2 scoop of unjury unflavored) Protein Drink - 26 gms of protein part of protein bar 7 gms of protein 1/3 meal of prepared cheddar potatoes (not a good choice) 3.5 gms of protein, 125 calories, 8 gms of carbs, 255 gms of sodium protein drink 40 gms of protein (unjury chocolate mixed with unjury unflavored) GULP ... gained 5 pounds this morning ... most likely water retention, but eee gads ... how scary is that? I tried to hop on that protein train, but I think it left the station dragging me behind it!!! About 105 gms of protein, 8 gms of carbs, approximately 700 calories.

Oh, my second protein drink was a Whey Fruity And I also got in about 60 oz of water

Tammy... Don't feel bad, hon! I did the same. I'm attributing it to my big heavy sweater, jeans, and hiking boots... (((hugs))) -Karen

Hi, guys! Today consisted of, so far: 6:00 AM 4 oz decaf coffee, made w/splenda and nf dairy creamer 7:00 AM: 8oz Chocolate Trader Joe's protein shake 9:00 AM: 1 Banana 16oz Wawa Diet Ice Tea 16+oz water 2oz egg salad, with chopped green/red peppers (my new craze...) 6 Ritz crackers I'm finding that I'm not that hungry today...more thirsty.
