OK, so here we go... My journal is going to weird because for one, I work overnights.  And, two, like I said earlier... I am terrible at keeping a journal, so it is mostly from memory.  But, here is my journal beginning at 4pm on Tuesday... ending somewhere around 7AM this morning.  I know the fruit cups don't have any protein value, but I have been eating those things ever since surgery and I think they help keep the craving for sweets down. EAS Myoplex Vanilla Protein Drink         310cal  43g-Protein Dannon Light & Fit Cherry Vanilla Yogurt  60cal 5g-Protein Del Monte Fruit Naturals Fruit Cup        140cal 1g-Protein grilled chicken breast 2 Tbs mixed veggies 1 mini Splenda sweetened cupcake (with a dab of splenda sweetened icing) EAS Myoplex Vanilla Protein Drink   310cal   43g-Protein Del Monte Fruit Naturals Fruit Cup        140cal 1g-Protein 100 Calorie bag of crunchy Cheetos Dannon Light & Fit Strawberry & Bananas Yogurt   60cal  5g-Protein Daily fluids: 10oz Starbucks mild blend coffee 80oz Water

Good idea Jay!  I'll keep track of mine today and post the results in the PM.  Might help me to quit snacking also.  I'll now have to confess, in a public forum, exactly what food goes into my mouth.  They say confession is good for the soul.  Best of luck today and believe me when I say I'll be thinking about it.   TraciL

Let's see is if I can remember... South Beach Cereal Protein bar Adkins Protein Bar Chicken Salad - about 3 tbsps with 2 saltines Nachos with chili, cheese, etc from Rocky Run Tap & Grill -- about 4 coffee sugar free fudge pop water

Hey Jay - Glad you started this thread!  I used to do a "Whatcha Eating?" post, but it didn't get a great response, and kind of died.  So I hope we can keep this going! Yesterday, I did really well, in my yet again renewed attempt to kick my own butt: Breakfast - 2 BIG coffees w/Splenda and FF half and half - one with a EAS Advant Edge Protein Drink as creamer Snack - Pure Protein Bar, Cheese Lunch - Greek shrimp, cukes w/ranch, grapes Snack - BBQ soy chips Dinner - chili More iced coffee and 160 oz. of water throughout the day.   My biggest accomplishment was in not snacking last night on junk - I did need some chocolate, so I had a small Pure Protein chocolate deluxe bar. Please feel free to kick my butt anytime!!! Tia
