I don't know what is normal. I have a small egg omelete for breakfast. cottage cheese and fruit mid morning. peanut butter for lunch. Nuts through out the afternoon. Usaully some type of beans and cheese for dinner. be careful of the calcuim chews since they are usually the carbonate not citrate and can cause kidney stones.

Just be careful because too much protein can be hard on your kidneys. I am still in the two week post-op so I am curious to see what I can eat after my follow-up tomorrow.
