I need feedback on my food choices.
I suspect I'm doing fine but my nutritionist is on vacation and I've made a few changes in my eating habits the last 2-3 weeks. I'm nearly 4 months post lap RNY (proximal), started at 311 and now at 240. I do cardio 6 days a week, weights 3 days a week, taking in between 600-1000 calories per day. I feel really good and strong, like a new person. I have recently been eating a more balanced diet instead of it being so high in protein and low in carbs. Here is what I've been eating: for breakfast @ about 6AM, Pro-Score 100 protein shake(32g of protein) and a banana or apple, for lunch @ about 1PM 3/4 cup of pinto beans and 3/8 cup of brown rice, for dinner @about 6PM, 3-4 oz of filet mignon and 1/4 cup of broccoli. I may also have another 1-2 oz of filet mignon or another protein shake later in the evening if I haven't gotten enough protein or calories in. I drink 4 liters of water per day and sometimes 5 if possible. I also take a multi, sublingual B12, Actigall, dry Vit. E, 1000mg of calcium citrate. (My latest labs show an elevated calcium, so per my surgeon, I only take calcium twice a day.)Does anyone have any comments or suggestions? I just need some reassurance that I'm not going to screw this up.
