What's on your Tuesday Menu?

hi all

QOTD: I just have meals instead of snacks. so I might do shake, protein pancakes, some chicken/veggies or something like that.

so did gym after work ran a couple errand then got back here.

Food plan today:

b: prot pancakes

b2: shake?

l: chicken/veggies

l2: probably more chicken/veggies

d: not sure yet

s: protein pancake or protein oatmeal

Good morning!

QOTD - I only eat for 6 hours a day, so sometimes my meals blend and I feel like I'm eating constantly for 6 hours. I have to snack a lot, in order to get in enough good calories and protein. So sometimes (like today) I will snack on vegan chickpea salad with crackers, or fruit, or a slice of toast with avocado butter and homemade strawberry chia jam, or an apple with peanut butter, etc. I don't count calories, I don't eat keto. I do however only allow myself meals from 12P to 6P. Once that window closes, it's water/hot tea/topo chico for the rest of the evening.

Breakfast - fasting, so hot black coffee, cold topo chico, hot green tea (not necessarily in that order)

Lunch - tofu/kale/soyrizo scramble on corn tortillas with vegan chao cheese

Snack - chickpea salad with crackers, fruit

Dinner - not sure. Haven't gotten that far yet.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

*disclaimer about my way of eating in case newbs are reading this. I am 11 years out from RNY, and I see my doctor every six months with great lab work. I eat vegan, and intermittent fast and this works well for me. I do not recommend IF for anyone who is newly out of surgery or isn't having an open dialogue with their surgeon/nutritionist about this. I have been doing this for over a year now, and I am closely monitored by my doctor's office.

Welcome to muggy Tuesday at least in Massachusetts! Today I am going to the dermatologist for a skin check. I fully expect to be berated for my tan.

Date 3 last night with Mike was phenomenal again. Just amazing! I am going to his area to the beach and then dinner tomorrow and will be meeting one of his daughters. Should be interesting... He met DSD this weekend but DS hid away.

QOTD: When I am on plan, the snacks I vary between (depending on what I have eaten the rest of the day) are: nut thins and cottage cheese or hummus; WW one point muffin; yogurt pie; almonds

TSS: 4 years, 4 months

B: Coffee! eggs and laughing cow cheese

L: Deli chicken

D: leftover swordfish and grilled veggies

S: WW one point muffin and/or almonds

Ooh this is so exciting! I wonder if it was this fun to follow along with Grim and I when we started dating here, haha.

And thanks for the reminder on the 1 point muffins. I keep meaning to get the ingredients and try them! Adding to my instacart now!

Those muffins are so easy to make and really good. But you have to keep them in the refrigerator because there are no preservatives and they can go moldy fast. I make two versions depending on my mood: buttermilk Kodiak pancake mix and blueberries OR dark chocolate Kodiak pancake mix and Lilly's SF chocolate bits (60).

Oh wow, already meeting the kids! This is serious!

In these Covid times with adult kids in our homes it is kind of unavoidable.

True!!!

So happy you?re having a great time with Mike!

Yay! So glad the dates are going so well.
