 Breakfast. - 3oz burger patty
Lunch  - premier nutrition bar - in the car couldn't wait, after 5.5 mile hill hike in the redwoods for 2.25 hours
Second lunch when I got home - 1 cup roasted cauliflower
Snack - quest bar
Dinner- 3 oz lamb burger

I don't generally eat two protein bars in one day. If I were home in the afternoon it would have been a cup of freshly made Green Chicken Soup! Thank you Elina.

I've been hiking either 5.5 miles or 7.7 miles 4x a week.  I've been much hungrier in the three weeks since I started doing these big hill hikes.

ok, i wont post for today because i was traveling and it was atypical (low). I still try to do 70 g protein and stay under 1200 calories.  so my usual day is:

coffee with half and half
3 prunes
gy with a tsp of honey

lunch
costco steak jerky - one to two ounces
red seedless grapes

glass of red wine before dinner; maybe a few almonds

dinner
tilapia or costco chicken meatballs
some green veggie

late nite snack
big ol' blob of peanut butter on a spoon;
sometimes a glass of skim milk or a protein drink if i am low on protein

it sure helps to be cooking for another sleever and nobody else but us

I don't really keep close track per day......I've been in a auto-pilot mode now for what seems like forever now.... I keep track per meal......just as long as my meals are protein based, within my capacity and well spaced I've been very stable.

If I eat some crap....I back off on my food.....hey...not the best....but it's for reals !



B- Over Med Egg with about an 1.5oz ground chicken.

L- Grilled Chicken Breast 2oz. Thin sliced English Cucumber w/Full Fat Mayo and Soy Sauce.

S- Slice of Havarti Cheese and Cuc slices dipped in Thai Peanut Sauce

D- Slow Cooker London Broil 2oz. w/onions, bell pepper and Italian Seasoned tomato from the slow cook.

S- Not yet......


Thought you guys would get a kick out of this...... Yes, I do eat the food I show.....But, most my meals are on paper plates and plastic utensils......Ahh.... Single Life! Last night I was even eating tuna from the can!

Here was dinner tonight on a Dixie Paper Plate before I poured the sauce on it....!!!!

Yesterday -- sorry, i'm a bit late... I'm carb and calorie cycling. Yesterday was supposed to be a 'low' day for both.

Wake-up Protein Coffee (1 Scoop Isopure dutch chocolate) w/ half & half
B: 1/2c Cottage cheese
L:  3oz homemade chicken salad
S: 1/2c homemade no-bean chili
D: 3 babybel light cheese
Post-workout Protein Coffee (1 scoop isopure dutch chocolate) w/ half & half
S: 4 Peanut Butter Protein Balls (homemade - protein powder, flax seed meal, organic peanut butter, SF syrup)
S2:  1 1/2 oz smoked gouda

After my workout last night with my trainer, my usual protein coffee & snack didn't cut it. I had to add some cheese about an hour later.  I hit 120g protein yesterday, but also was at 1200 calories. I had wanted to stay under 1000. Carbs were good, though 26g for the day.

I am eating like a horse because I am trying very hard to stop losing and am very active (averaging 10,000 - 12,000 steps a day weekdays, 15,000-25,000 on weekends). Calories are around 1750 a day right now and may have to raise them again as I've lost over a pound this week.

Breakfast: Protein shake with 2% milk
Snack: Quest bar
Lunch 1: Protein shake with 2% milk
Snack: Veggies with ranch dip
Lunch 2: Protein shake with 2% milk
Dinner: 1 1/2 oz roast beef and a few bites of veggies
Snack: Cashew butter

In the winter I'll have to drop my calories down to about 1400, which I'll do by using 35 calories no-sugar added almond milk in my shakes and dropping the nut butter.

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9
Pre-op weight: 319 lbs, BMI 48.5
Current range: 140-144, BMI 21.3 - 22

I love using Unsweetened Almond Milk in a shake, when I don't want the extra calories or carbs from skim milk, but want to increase my protein.

 This is a really interesting thread!

Today I've had:
B- banana nut pancake (protein pancake mix, 15 grams of mashed banana, 2 tsp of crushed walnuts and sf whipped cream) and 1/2 c milk
S- protein shake with 3/4 c milk
L- French onion omelet (1 egg, 1/2 oz fontina, 1/2 oz gruyere, Caramelized onions)
S- will be a Wasa fiber crispbread with 1 tbs peanut butter and 1/4 c raspberries
D- salad with a few oz of steak
S- a square of dark chocolate

I've only got 2 pounds left until goal so I'm not as strict as I was in the beginning. I keep my protein over 75 and my carbs under 80. I don't bother counting fat.

High weight: 276

Lowest weight: 155.2
