What's on your Menu Today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

Late start for me today.  Working nights tonight, Saturday and Sunday.

QOTD: I have had my Fit*****arge 2 for about a month.  I really love it.  I wi**** were a little more accurate.  I tells me I am waking stairs when I'm not, and at times I get steps when I'm driving, but other than that I love it.  I love that it tells me when I haven't moved so I can get off my butt and walk around a bit.

Today's menu:

Breakfast - Protein Shake, Turkey sticks

Snack - Greek yogurt

Lunch - romaine lettuce salad w/ cucumber, green bell pepper, yellow cherry tomatoes, 6 oz shrimp

Snack - celery sticks, 2 laughing cow cheese wedges

Dinner - Mock Spanish rice

Snack - Turkey stick, string cheese

Calories - 1055, Protein - 133, Carbs - 72,  Fat - 23

Mock Spanish Rice?  Why are you mocking that poor rice... you will hurt their feelings. LOL What is this? Share your recipe if you would.  It sounds good.

1 Pound ground Turkey

1 pkgs Mrs Dash taco seasoning (no salt )

2 can no salt added tomato sauce

1 can Rotel Tomatoes

2 pkgs riced cauliflower (cooked in microwave)

Cook ground turkey add Mrs Dash following package directions - add tomato sauce and rotel, then add cooked riced cauliflower.

I get 5 servings out of it 190 calories a serving.  Pretty large servings -I have not had surgery yet.

Recipe totals:

950 calories

135 protein

100 carbs

6 fat

I think when making it after surgery I will only put one package of riced cauliflower, and one can of tomato sauce - higher protein per serving and lower carbs (not sure how many servings this I will be able to get out of it after surgery).

New recipe totals:

815 calories

72  carbs

6 fat

Hi everyone,

Had an appointment with my center today and while I was praised for my weight loss and was told by the Dr. that almost none of his patients have had the success I've had with the sleeve he also told me that I was not eating nearly enough(even though I'm getting 80 to 100 grams of protein a day) Of course he also said that he wants me eating more carbs. He did say that I my labs showed I most definitely had great protein but my potassium was low. He's very concerned about that because of my heart condition and it could cause an arrhythmia . I need to call my cardiologist on Monday and he might have to put me on a potassium pill a couple times a week.

QOTD: I don't own a fit bit yet but have been thinking about it. I will never get the required steps due to my feet issues. Does it count swim strokes? LOL!

B: 2 eggs, 1 strip bacon, ultra thin slice of cheese

S: coffee with protein powder

L: 3oz of low sodium turkey

D: 2oz steamed mussels, 3oz pastrami, 1 tbs Russian dressing, 1/2 slice of ultra thin cheese

S: 2oz low sodium turkey

Cals: 562, carbs:8, fat:20, protein:84

Your doing great Chris, the centers do love to push the carbs. Mine said the same to me in December. I just agreed to keep them happy. Keep up the great work. 

Thank you Liz! I did the same as you did. I just shook my head up and down and said ok! LOL!
