Hello & Good Day

It was already smokin' hot here @ 5 am when I went out for my daily cardio, 1.5 miles power walk - 79 degrees ...

Breakfast  :  protein coffee
Snack  :  fru-fru coffee & 5 whole cashews
Lunch  :  probably a protein iced coffee ( have follow-up from my endo right at the lunch hour)
Dinner  :  turkey burger with bacon & cheese on the bottom of a bun, NSA bread-n-butter pickles 
                 & a few chips

I haven't been feeling very well since I had surgery in March. Blood work came back great yesterday, except protein is .2 below the minimum (hard to believe that that's the one that's low). Just had liquids for breakfast, lunch and snack since I didn't feel well. Ironically, doctor's office called and said they found a mild something on the x-ray and to stay on a clear liquids, just sips, until I come in this afternoon. Here's yesterday:

B - protein coffee
S - nothing
L - skinny mocha latte
S - protein shake
D - nothing
S - nothing

Walked with the dog, but only 20 minutes this time. Someone was shooting off big, booming fireworks and the she wanted to go home and inside.

I need a lot of proteins - more than I needed earlier - to mainatin my 6.4-6.7 protein level. 120-150gr. I think initially my body were using some of my large muscles - but now - no more to use. And that with moderate exercise.
Good luck.

That's great information, thank you.  I eat protein at every meal and snack but it's not always a higher protein choice or perhaps not a large enough portion.  I'll aim for 120-150g and start entering my food diary in an on-line tracker so I can track to to make sure I'm getting enough. Thanks again!

My plan today: 

·         Coffee + coconut milk

·         Sunflower seeds (1/2 cup) – a lot but most likely can only digest and assimilate 25% of that.. (raw sunflower seeds)

·         Chicken sausage – spicy (no veggies – I forgot)

·         Yogurt with proteins and flax+ blueberries

·         Cheese – baby bell light (4-5 pcs).

·         Protein shake (meeting friends late)

·         Another protein shake if I need it.  

·         Protein cookies. (maybe)

·         LNS: pork loin+ veggies…

Not sure, but on options is also frittata.... so that may be good idea instead of one of the protein shakes.
I am really tired today but plan to have a massage and walk downtown.  Lots of walking..

Afternoon all!  Sorry I am not as regular to posting but sometimes I just get sidetracked & don't get on here to do it.  Doing pretty well though.  Have been getting in all my exercise this week.  Had a small incident where I spiked and then dropped my sugars causing a collapse (I was not injured).  I have never reacted that badly before.  Pretty sure I narrowed down the contributing factors and know how to prevent it for next time.

B - protein bar
S - banana
L - tuna on salad
S - protein bar
D - pork chops, roasted potatoes, & veggie
