Protein. Yikes!
what works is differant for everyone, some supplement with shakes, concentrated protein bullets, some stick with an ATKINS like food plan.
Remember when your first out is will be very hard to reach your goal. count protein and not calories . try some protein drinks -buy single can servings at first.
my goal is 150-180 and a sample of my daily routine is
6 a.m. Hot cocoa protein drink 25-30 grms
9 a.m. 3/4 greek ygurt or cottage cheese and a little fruit 25 gms
12 30 p.m. chicken, shrimp, roastbeef on small salad = 3 bites protein 1 bite of salad 30
3 p/m. cheese stick or slice of meat around a dill pickle - 15-20
6:30 p.m. dinner - lean protein , steamed veggies . 30 grms
9:30 p.m. protein bullet . shake etc... 30

Thanks so much again!
Honestly - go to Vitalady wensite and order some samples. Unjury is great for the flavorless- good to add to soups. I like Matrix brand, Champion, 3ever fit . Muscle milk light - premade
Try protein warm put a scoop in 1/4 cup water and mix - then add in very warm water - use a little Torani syrup or mint extract- add a couple mini marshmellows. - you have to be creative
I only use greek yogurt, I buy large Shrimp in the bag - steam / boil 6-12 at a time for me and 2 for the kitty's , chicken tenders - easy to take out only what you need.
Use higher protein foods and it will be easier to get in your protein.
My revision was almost 2 yrs ago - I have been able to maintain 200 lbs total loss. and I am getting ready to have a hernia repair in a couple weeks - so I am protein loading right now in preparation.
