Loralea,
Thanks for replying... I am still trying to lose weight : ) Although, I have not lost anything in about 6 months on the scale-- I've lost inches. Would you recommend eating fruit for weight loss. Again, I am just really now applying it to my daily food intake. The following is a typically what I eat daily starting this week. Long story was seeing a nutritionist who was telling me to eat all sorts of things that just didn't make me feel good, and I lost so much energy and motivation. Even gained weight. That is the ONLY time the scale has moved in 6 months.
Pre workout 5:30am: 1/2 cup cottage cheese with EITHER
3oz pork chop or 1/2 cup cheerios
OR
Creamy Vanilla Kashi with 1 scoop protein
Post workout 8:30am: EITHER 1 6oz apple or 1 7inch banana
PLUS
6oz of blue bunny yogurt
Lunch 11:30 or 12:00pm: 3/4 oz Babybel Cheese
1.5 oz RAW broccoli
1oz (15) thin crisp triscuits
2.7oz tuna
10 grapes and 3 strawberries
Snack 3:00/30pm: pure protein bar
Dinner 7:00/30pm: 3oz grilled chicken
1.5 cups of Romaine Salad with 1tsp picante
sauce and 1 tsp light sour cream
some shredded cheese (Reduced Fat)
Snack 9:00pm: 17 (1oz) Turkey Pepperoni with babybel cheese &
8 thin crisp triscuits
OR
4 celery sticks with 1 tbs or 2 crunch Peanut Butter
OR
Cottage Cheese with 1/2 cup cheerios or thin crisp
Variety on occassion:
I will switch out the 3 oz chicken for dinner with 3oz baked pork chop. Add 1/2 cup pinto or kidney beans. RARELY sweet potato.
Any FEEDBACK or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am still wanting to lose and need to some how figure out a meal plan that will up my carbs and still lose :)
Thanks....
Jessica
This is me though, I know I cannot lose weight with that many carbs and calories but I also do not work out either.

Just my thoughts, especially since I am "carb sensitive" I need to watch closely.

these will hold me though a long work out and help afterwards with recovery for me -
I also eat green apples a lot - with cheese instead of crackers
grapes are good snacks as are oranges
I have to be careful with melons b/c of the sugar - the limit I have on fruit is the sugar b/c I don't like to dump esp when I am busy during the day
I eat very diffently than most post op but I don't count my veggi or fruit carbs - I only pay attention to prossesed ones - pasta, breads, rice, grains - and I limit the quanity of them I eat but mostly the quality - I eat whole grains over white/prossesed and try to avoid white anything as much as possible

I know what I need to do - I have to choose to take care of me or I choose to fail
