Pics/More staples of mine ...
Okay I'm new this whole picture posting...
1. protein shake.. in the mornings when I a tad tight or NOT super hungry I like a shake it keeps me full or sometimes I have a shake before the gym because I don't get home till 7:00 for dinner
it's Almond Soy Unsweetned Vanilla 45 cal a serving for 8 ounces
1 scoop of Vanilla protein powder I like Jillians at walmart for $10 bucks
1/2 of a banana (small if it's large then 1/3)
1/2 - 3/4 cups of ice and BLEND
Approx 200 or 220 calories - YUMMY 15 grams of protein at least :)
I have two pics of roll ups the one with the pickles I eat at lunch with veggies on the side and my mock ranch dip.
The other pic is ham LOW SODIUM ham from the deli (not cooked ham yuck) sliced thin 5 slices and 1 piece of reduced fat sargento chedder stick (sometimes I eat 2 for 120 or 60 cal for 1) I break the chedder stick in half and roll it up in the ham and eat. At Breakfast I eat at my desk so I have to keep it simple..
Oatmeal - I like oatmeal steel cuts is the best but I did find a brand called Active Lifestyle.. i believe its a kroger brand it has the most protein I have seen in oatmeal 6 grams I used my unsweetned vanilla 45 cal for 8 ounch great breakfast.. I eat so much protein through out the day I make up for this being on the low side but oatmeal really sticks with me and fills me up

Kate
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
Love your plate presentation! Great ideas! I mix my protein meal supplement with instant pudding (sf of course) and nf milk an divide into 4 oz containers as a protein booster snack. I add two scoops of BA vanilla to one package of butterscotch and 2 cups of milk. Whisk it and pour into 5 portions. The chocolate pudding+chocolate BA = 6 servings (not quite sure why). Each 4 oz cup has 15 gr of protein and about 12 gr carbs, no fat.
Great ideas.. I'm always looking to mix things up. I usually have a dessert a day..
A popsicle or pudding (sugar free) or jello .. yesterday it was 1 piece of sugar free hersery mini bar .. 25 calories.. I enjoy it.
Girl scout cookies.. damn them cookies (not the girls) they are soo good I can't resist. I had 2 carmel delights one day and 2 thanks a lot one day and 2 thin mints another day...but I made sure to gym them out so it didn't "hurt" me persay but I'm ready for everyone to eat them up and be done with them already lol
