Yesterday I ate:
B: Greek Yogurt w/ reduced sugar strawberry jelly w/ splenda
L: Lemon chicken w/ snap peas
D: Beef & bean soup and a green salad high in protein (eggs, pine nuts, cheeses)
S- NSA Breyers Vanilla Bean ice cream with melted peanut butter on it.
Not enough fluid, but all vitamins and other meds.
Next!!!
Things that make you go hmmmm...
B: tuna melt wrap
S: trail mix
L: Subway steak and cheese flat bread (I ate the whole thing which surprised me.....I was full but not uncomfortable.....hmmm. Then I start to stress and needed someone to tell me its OK to eat more at 5 months out....which I know is true....its a mental thing.)
S: apple
D: 3 oz. chicken thigh with canned gravy, 1/4 cup sweet potato, 1/4 cup mixed veggies
S: Edy's NSA mint chocolate chip ice cream
B - Scrambled Egg w/Cheese (started to wear this out...)
S - Saltines
L - two slices ham and turkey rolled around a half a slice of cheese with cottage cheese... this was surprisingly really good! (Smart Ones meat from a prepack)
S - Breyer's Light Peach Yogurt
S - (late dinner) cheese stick
D - Beef Veg Soup with a scoop of protein powder
64 oz fluids, 60 g protein, and all my vits!
I got stuck in a breakfast rut early out too. Some breakfasts that I ate to mix things up.......
turkey bacon, hard boiled egg, oatmeal with protein powder, peanut butter and thin apple slices on whole grain crackers (i ate Dare brand crackers....still do), cheese and whole grain crackers, and i might be strange but I eat tuna salad and chicken salad for breakfast all the time.
There is DEFINITELY a light at the end of the tunnel! I eat a wide variety of great tasty food at 5 months out =)
Hang in there....you're doing an incredible job so far!
What protien do you use to mix with oatmeal? The vanilla didn't get it for me... LOL
I am ready to be able to know what I can and can't do!
I also think I need to buy a scale - at least then I will see progress on a more consistent basis!
Some people are anti-scale but I have one and I use it daily. I find that it motivates me to weigh myself each morning.
