Burger and fries for dinner. Ate mine with mushrooms, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, stone ground mustard, Mayo, spinach and tomatoes. The seasoned fries were meh so I’m glad I only ate a few. Calories are including a full serving of fries though. And then one of my full days calories. Also breakfast was an Atkins chai protein shake and some buffalo flavored combos.

The blurry leftover half of my turkey pastrami and cheddar wrap I had for dinner. Would’ve been around 240 calories for the whole thing. But I’m too exhausted to eat any more… and too full of donuts that got dropped off at our unit today.

More random meals. The chicken salad (from the last picture) also made a repeat into my lunch today.

I tend to eat them both ways. I have my savory and sweet ones.

This meal (today’s breakfast) I didn’t finish- breakfast wrap, cottage cheese and pineapple. Also the nutrition facts for breakfast that I ate.

Somehow I’ve become a random food photo dumper but enjoy (ate all of these ones). This was several days of meals.

We regularly have a “build your own salad” night. I also might keep fruit cups, fruits, and veggies out in plain sight so they’re more accessible than the chips, sugary stuff, or other less nutrient dense foods. Your kids can only follow example and eat what you provide (for the most part), so healthy options, intuitive eating, and food modeling are great ways to keep kids having a healthier relationship with food.

Random foods from the past week or so. The octopus shaped hot dogs were a kid’s dinner. 😂

The restrictions will come when your onto more substantial foods. I had the same thing after my revision happen.

Moon cheese, trail mix or nuts, protein bars and shakes, beef jerky, tuna packets, and nut butters for crackers.

Hey! I’m not a nurse but a monitor tech and work 12’s. Your best bet is loads of little things starting out- Greek yogurts, eggs and cheese, string cheese, taco meat, chili, etc. condiment or mini lunch containers are great. Take the time and walk away from the floor! You and your health are just as important as your patient. After all you’ve taken the steps to get to where you are now, don’t let others derail you by being unprepared for success when you come back. Also, water bottle at the hydration station and a phone timer to schedule breaks.

They weren’t bad. And super simple- nut butter, protein powder, and either non dairy milk or sugar free maple syrup to bind it. The recipe said to dip in chocolate but they’re fine without it. And for the most part doing well. Starting to get cabin fever since it’s been so abnormally warm lately.

Made homemade protein bars. I’m going to try making some with powdered peanut butter next time and see if I like them. Lunch today- stir fry kimchi and edamame, some tomatoes and onions, tamagoyaki, and teriyaki chicken.

Meals today- egg white and cheese breakfast tortilla salad with chicken and jammy egg vegetable miso soup made a chocolate pecan mousse for dessert and thought I took a picture but it was just a blur. 😂🤷‍♀️

Very seldom do I eat pasta but after making it for the kids tonight it smelled so good. Started by roasting most of the Roma and Campari tomatoes, some scallions m, and some garlic bulbs. Used the garlic in both the sauce and the cheesy garlic bread. And then cooked the Pasta in the sauce and some chicken broth.

Meals prepped yesterday for today- salad (the one without egg is for my oldest) and teriyaki chicken and veggies with rice. Also, a bonus picture of the pasta salad with turkey pepperoni the kids had for dinner.

Went to a Mexican restaurant by myself yesterday. It’s weird having actual days off and trying to fully my day with stuff to do. Anyway, I present to you this monstrosity! 😂 I totally took home leftovers and actually ate some of them for dinner.

“No spoon” days are days where you either don’t have the energy or “spoons” to make food or do daily tasks like shower, fold the laundry, or pretty much anything outside of existing. It’s based on Spoon Theory. “Managing spoons” is very common among those in chronic health condition circles like the lupus, fibromyalgia, POTS, and more.

I love any French fry that doesn’t involve ketchup…. Or ranch. I’m sure I’d love these!

Yes, but also YES! Kids have had some form of pizza 2 nights in a row (pizza rolls with salad yesterday and chain restaurant pizza tonight) and tomorrow is also looking like a high chance of pizza related food… I will have salad every night if I have to not think about cooking until after new year’s!

Last night’s dinner- rosemary olive oil bread with garlic herb goat cheese, sliced Roma tomatoes and balsamic reduction.

Yesterday’s Christmas dinner- venison tourtiere, glazed carrots, zucchini and tomatoes sautéed in Italian dressing, cucumber tomato salad, loaded mashed potatoes, and wild rice. I shared my plate with my 7yr old and still didn’t eat it all.

Just another random food photo dump. More Asian chicken kelp noodles, balsamic chicken and veggies. Surimi salad and shrimp (only ate one shrimp). Stir fried tofu with zucchini, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Egg and cheese English muffin with tomato and cucumbers. Chicken and veggie fajita rice. Greek yogurt, caramel rice crisps, and blueberries.

Mexican food offers refried beans. Italian offers the filling of ravioli/stuffed shells/lasagna. Indian food offers a variety of curries. With more of the chain restaurants your best option will be meatloaf (if offered), soups, or chili.
