Show me your what your 80g protein day looks like



Recommended Posts

I'm still early preop but I've been pinning recipes on pinterest life crazy for future use. I know I won't be doing 3 Protein Shakes forever.

I am curious what a meal plan with 80 g looks like. Seems like you'd have to always have at least one Protein shake per day to come close since our quantity of food is so little.

I actually get between 60 and seventy. So here goes, Breakfast I have cheese or Peanut Butter on an English, for about ten grams. lunch is greek yogurt for 12 or tuna for around fifteen or leftover Protein from the night before for up to twenty grams supper is usually, pork or chicken for around twenty grams. I then have two protein Snacks to make it up to at least sixty. That's one between lunch and supper and the other after supper before bed.

The way my Nut told me:

Breakfast 2 oz Protein = 12 grams this could be a greak yorgart

snack 2 oz Protein = 12 grams 1/2 cup cottage cheese

lunch 2 oz protein = 16 grams tuna in Water

Snack protein shack = 15 to 20 grams

dinner 2-3 oz protein = 24 grams lean meats like chicken breast, cod, scallops

Breakfast I am getting anywhere from 10-20g depending on if I eat food or do a Protein shake. Most morning I do a Isopure Protein shake/fiber mix that is around 15 to 20g of protein in it. For lunch I tend to eat pre-made microwavable dinners. Today for lunch I had a Stouffer's Fit Kitchen dinner that has about 27g of protein in it at only 410 calories. If I snack its usually with something like a pure protein or life choice bar meal bar. Those are usually in the 20g range when it comes to protein. So before I make it to dinner I'm usually at or really close to what I need to meet as a minimum daily intake of protein.

Some days are indeed easier than others to get everything in. And I do notice when I have met my intake requirements for a few days versus when I don't. My muscles aren't as weak feeling when I am meeting the protein intake. I am still in the process of learning my stomach all over again. Some days some foods work without any issues and then I can come back a few days for weeks later, eat the same thing and my stomach revolts it like the black plague. I guess this is the life of a bariatric person. A diva tummy. :rolleyes: :blush: :rolleyes:

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs with low fat cheeseand 1/2C fresh fruit.< /p>

lunch - 4 oz lean Protein from something that had a mother. tuna, left over hamburger, grilled chicken strips, etc. all weighted on kitchen scale.

dinner - 4 oz Protein from something that had a mother and 1/2C raw or cooked low carb vegetable.

At three months+ out I still can not gave dairy products except low fat cheese like mozarella sticks or something similar.

Breakfast: 1 egg with a slice of cheese - 10g

At the office: Protein "latte" (coffee with vanilla Protein powder) - 20g

Mid morning _ Mozarella stick - 6

Lunch: Panera bread - strawberry Poppy Seed chicken salad - Half Size, 8.75 oz - 15g

After lunch - PowerCrunch protein cookie - 13

dinner - chicken thigh - 19

The above adds up to 83g of protein and 840 calories. I usually eat more these days up to 1300 calories. I might add part of the bread\butter that comes with the salad or a spoon full of veggies or potatoes with the chicken for dinner as I'm in maintenance and exercise regularly, but the above is a typical "base menu" for me even today. Successfully maintaining about a 90 pound loss for over 1 year.

Breakfast - either scrambled egg with ham, Tomato, onion, bell pepper and cheese or a Quest Protein bar

lunch - 4 to 5 oz of some kind of Protein - chicken, pork, steak, ground beef, ham and cheese, roast beef and cheese and salad

dinner - same as lunch but different protein and different veggies. I love making zucchini fries or I'll have green Beans.

If I want a snack either a Quest Protein Bar or a cheese stick. I also like Quest protein chips with Laughing Cow cheese spread on them.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
