What are you eating ....

 Just feeling curious as I see Ms Shell's old posts on the main vsg board but more for newer folks posting just curious as to what everyones maintenance meals look like 

Mine: 

Breakfast 1 scrambled egg with green chili and pepper jack cheese 
Water 
Lunch 2 oz roasted chicken 
Water 
Snack 1 oz cottage cheese 
Water 
Dinner 2 oz of white sea bass with mango salsa 

Disclaimer: This is not a typical day for me however I recently had the scale jump like 8 lbs so I am back to basics and it is working down 5 and three more to go to get back to where I want to stay. 

Not in maintence yet, still trying to drop another 7-10 or so.. but today it is:

Home-made shake & some RTD protein shake used as a creamer in my coffee (256 cals/6carbs/47prot)
~that was over the course of hours- I don't eat till after noon usually..~

Cottage cheese (90cals/6carb/11prot)

HB egg w/GY devilled (88/2/7)

Crystal light energy/ 1 babybel light/1 strawberry- snacks: 65/1/6

Dinner will be Elina's Southwest chicken soup & GY: 175/8/19 (likely lower on carbs, just how I loaded it in MFP)

So totals for the day:
674cals/23carbs/90 protein.. prob no snack later, but it's always a possibility.. I'm trying to stay under 800 cals, 30 total carbs and up near 100g protein.

B: two hard boiled eggs with two lite laughing cow cheeses
L: 1.5 cups of my husbands new seafood gumbo soup
S:skinny cow 100 calories ice cream (not my best choice)
D: 2-3 ounces of fillet with homemade guacamole
S: glass of wine and cheese stuffed figs (going out to my favorite wine bar with girlfriend).

I am a bit low on my weight now and would not mind going up about two pounds, so I am not as careful as usual.

Hope your husband's new seafood gumbo is "losing phase" friendly and will be posted on your profile. While I'm usually not much of a soup fan (although everyone raves about yours), seafood gumbo is the exception. Would love to give it a try if he's willing to share.

Thanks
Elaine

It is pretty awesome stuff.  It has 126 calories per cup and 19 grams of protein with under 4 carbs.  It keeps me full for hours.  I will get him to write it up and post it sometime before this weekend.  He was inspired by our local fair last weekend.  The guy keeps me well fed!

Thank a bunch!

I'm consistently at 800/80/20 and trying to get the cals below 700 without impacting the rest of the numbers.  I need to finish up these last 30 pounds. I just can't deal with 1 pound a week (or less) loss. I need a boost and your gumbo numbers look good. Heck, I can live on that for awhile!

B: protein shake, coffee w/creamer
S: greek yogurt w/fruit
L: 3 oz baked pork chop
S: 1/3 cup green grapes, 1/3 cup blueberries, ww string cheese
D: 1 turkey sausage
S: 1 small piece torte (made with sugar free pudding and graham crackers)

I like this thread but no longer feel like posting to it on the main board... but I would probably do it often here! Thanks for starting it Maureen!

Maureen! You scared me to death. Before I got to the end to see you are trying to lose I was thinking ..I am a hog and d00m3d! I would like a critique on my days usual meal actually since im new to maintenance if any of you care to chime in.

Coffee, SF creamer, and splenda when I wake
B: 1-2 eggs scrambled and maybe 2 oz chicken or a small sausage patty
Swhen I have one) 110 cal anytime jenny craig bar. They are next door and give me a discount haha. Has a full day of vitamins although I still take my reg. Dosages. 10 carbs and 10 protein.
L: insides of a kids chicken buritto from freebirds - ends up about a cup of food. Mixed greens, 3-4TBSP beans, Chicken breast (maybe an ounce), mixed cheese (maybe an ounce). A little onion and some salsa. I know its not really low carb but it keeps me going without snacking on garbage and they are close to work. Was thinking of stopping as it makes me feel guilty.
S: rarely but if I do its an anytime bar again.
D: 3-4oz. Chicken or beef and an ounce or so of a vegetable like green beans or roasted carrots. I at times will have a 1/4 of a potato or a red potato.

Do you guys think this is to much? I feel okay generally but it is so much compared to what im used to (obviously). I have been maintaining 190-195 but it is an odd transition from 600-800 with 30 carbs. Be harsh if im wrong here please.

 Sounds about what I normally eat when not trying to lose. I would be careful with the bars for snacks have you had a check on how many cals to maintain I know mine is 1250 that is resting no excercise and I usually vary front 800 some days and as high as 1600 other days do it all averages out the most important advice I can give is to weigh daily and it will always keep it in check easy to drop 5 lbs than 10 or 20 but looks to me like you are doing ok 

I have not checked on the calories, i can do that easy enough. I have been like you said weighing daily, once in the morning then again before bed. I wont keep the two a day thing up forever but really wanted to get a grip of maintenance. I really just slowly ate more until I stopped losing and then just have eaten about the same amount daily. It would be good to know a calorie count to shoot for. Thank you!
