Oct sleevers, what are we eating?

Sexy October sleeves, what are you eating?

Normally my day looks like this;
B: cottage cheese
L: sushi with just a little rice
D: shrimp and veggies
Snacks: 2 shakes


However, my diet has gone to **** over the holidays. Today it was:
B: none
L: cheese and crackers
D: seared tuna
Snack: 2bites of key lime pie

I sometimes cheat when I am out and eat a little bread or sample sweets or have a few sips of wine. However, I don't think these behaviors are out of control, I seem to be able to actually embrace moderation for first time in life. However, I'm worried about going down that slippery slope. Thoughts?

I have found that I can eat almost anything I could before. I find that if I start the day with either high protein oatmeal, a half a banana with peanut butter  or an Odwalla protein bar I stay better on track. I did have Christmas cookies but since I use the myfitnesspal thingy I am making sure I get my protein in and not going over 1400 calories. (Its normally a challenge to get that mu*****

I think the real key with the sleeve is moderation. I still have foods that are not perfect but now I can have 3 or 4 chips and not an entire bag.

The only thing my body really doesnt like so far is slices of bread or stuffing. Which is fine because I was never a HUGE bread person before.

I think even your **** diet when compared to what you were eating a year ago on the same day is still decent. I think that is what we have to learn to eat better but not feel guilty over every misstep.

Yep. What she said.

The only suggestion I'd add is that you might want to start trying to get more dense protein because it actually works as a shutoff valve for your stomach and keeps you full longer (not just not hungry - which are two different things in my book).

You've got a lot of "soft" protein on that list and if you start adding in denser protein, you might find that it's actually easier to stay away from trigger foods.

Thanks for the advice. For personal reasons, i don't eat chicken, beef or pork (although I do eat dairy, eggs and fish), so finding "dense" protein can be tricky. I sometimes eat the morningstar faux meat which is pretty dense, but I often find just a little makes my tum-tum upset. I'm sure that I will get there in time.

1400 calories?  On a good day I'm around 800 calories.  I still dont get in my protein amount for the day.  I hate protein drinks.  Am I messing up??

try the odwalla protein bars, they are all natural and vegetarian. I don't have an issue with sugar  so if you do you might want to look at them more closely. I LOVE having them fro breakfast!
