Sticking to the Basics - Wednesday
Ok so first things first....last night I was totally "non compliant" with what I brought. Instead of having the egg and avocado I ended up eating 1 1/2 slices of pizza (this was not all at the same time...one slice about 9pm and the 1/2 slice at midnight or so) I also had a bunch of saltines with PB. I think what I ended up having was;
2 string cheese
Piece of pizza
Yogurt
1/2 piece of pizza
Saltines w/ PB
I did however, get in my fluid. But...figured be accountable for all the carbs and fat I ingested...
On to TODAY...here's what I'm packing. I don't know what will be which meals so the only "meals" listed are breakfast and dinner as those are pretty much sure. I'm not even sure if I will eat all of it or not...probably not...but at least I have choices in my bag.
B: Egg whites on toast
2 string cheese
2 hard boiled eggs (will eat only one yolk probably)
Pineapple
1/4 baked potato w/ cheese
Yogurt
Edamame
D: Chicken Parm
2 string cheese
Piece of pizza
Yogurt
1/2 piece of pizza

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

Pam,
Where are you finding the edamame? (prepackaged or are you cooking them yourself? I'd LOVE to find a source for raw ones that I can cook!) They're SO addictive!
Anyway, my "back on track" plan for today:
B: Banana/Strawberry Matrix shake
S: fresh pineapple with FF cream cheese
L: Quiche lorraine (1/2 c, no crust)
S: SF pudding
D: Tilapia with yellow squash and onions
E: rest day, light walk at lunch

I'm still working closely with a nutritionist and this is my plan for today and tomorrow...
Breakfast: Whole wheat English muffin w/ 2 tbsp. of peanut butter and strawberries
S: Protein shake made with lactaid (I'm lactose intolerant) and grapefruit
Lunch: 3 oz of tuna w/ light miracle whip on Arnold Sandwich thins and grapes
S: Yogurt and protein shake made with 4 oz of water
Dinner: Grilled chicken breast (4.5 oz) with 1/4 cup marinara, mozz. cheese and zucchini
S: Protein shake
Before bed..... yes... ANOTHER protein shake!
All in all I'm at about 1800 calories and a whopping 164 grams of protein.
