Having a couple struggles...please help
I have been drinking all day...I have had approx 50 oz so far today
I got up at 7:30, ate breakfast around 9:30, snack around 12, lunch at 2:15, afternoon snack probably around 5, dinner around 7:30.
I am thinking I will have some left over turkey and squash
I know all centres are different...but I had my surgery one day after you and at my one month follow up they said that once completely healed and eating normally I should be eating three oz (about 90 grams) of lean protein, 1/4 cup veggies and 1/4 cup starches (or more veggies and less starches, to a max of 1/2 cup). I am not eating quite that much yet. I can get in about 2-2.5 oz of meat at the most before I start to feel that slightly uncomfortable feeling that signals me to stop eating. If I eat more veggies than starch I can get in a half a cup, but if there are starches in my meal I can only eat about 1/3 of a cup in total.
Personally, I am still taking one shake a day. Sometimes I don't need a whole shake to reach my levels, but I still drink one. I just feel that drinking a shake that has no sugar and no fat is better than padding my diet with things that are higher in those things, like deli meat, to reach the proper levels. I haven't pushed the limits with sugars at all, but I have dumped on things that are too high in fat (and not really high, just too high for my body I guess) so I have to be careful.
However, other than perhaps the size of the turkey burger everything you are eating looks great.
I would only add one recommendation for your daily measuring - start adding your post to eh "What are you eating/doing today?" thread every day.
You'll be able to compare yourself to others, and more importantly the veterans will weigh in if they feel you are ignoring something important or missing out on something, or even overdoing it on something.
I find it very helpful to compare myself to others every day.
