What Does a DS'er Eat?
First - I love your new pic.
Val on the DS board suggest starting your day off with protein and that helps keep the carb cravings at bay. (obviously gets a jump to the protein too).
I typically start my day off with protein - cottage cheese with a blop of no sugar added applesauce. Cottage cheese pancakes w/ sugar free syrup have been my breakfasts lately.
I usually have a protein based snack (string cheese, soy chips, nut granola bar there's one that is low carb and 7g protein). Sometimes I'll pop in the not so great snack like the m&ms I'm currently sucking on.
Lunch and dinner vary. Protein based and then veggies.
I get 80 - 100gs protein per day. I enjoy the Champion Banana Scream protein shakes. Two scoops with 8 oz of milk is over 50g protein right there. If I'm busy that's what I'll have for a meal.
I take the Bariatric Eating's Multi Vitamin for DS with extra ADEKs 3x a day. Three 200mg/tablet calcium 2x day and then a dry D and dry A 3x a week. Always take vits with food to aid in absorbtion.
The DS board has a food log message everyday. It's posted by Lori B. That gives you a good idea of what people eat.
I would say to always have good food on hand. I'm a sweet tooth so I have Dove SF chocolates in my pantry on any given day. I also like the low carb ice cream treats that are out there. They really help me when I'm in need of a sweet fix. I've got some other suggestions if you ever need them.
