I am 22 months out but not much has changed as far as what I eat. I can't eat early in the morning so my day starts with coffee, then Water, maybe a Protein shake. I have some egg salad around 9 and more Water -- I try to get in 33 oz before noon, another 33 before 5 and then whatever else I can shove in before bed time.
lunch could be anything from a Protein Shake to a Jimmy John's UNWICH (that's a sandwich, wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun) or a salad (a couple of meals for me). My fave lunch is something called Bi Bim Bap-- it's like a korean stir fry (no rice)- so stir fried meat, fresh veggies and a sesame kinda sauce. I have the sauce on the side. Normally I grab a salad and have the cafe cook me a chicken breast. That can be two meals for me, sometimes I finish it in the afternoon for a snack. You can also pick up pre-cooked chicken breasts or steak strips to warm up and munch on. I like to stick a couple of those in the microwave with a wedge of laughing cow, lite or chipotle cheese. YUM. O.
Lately my lunch has been tuna salad with a hardboiled egg diced in. I am not a huge snacker, really. I have nuts, Protein shakes, cheese, hardboiled eggs... I make sure I have plenty of Protein rich options in case I get snacky. I might have a cup of coffee around 3:30.
I work out around 5:30 or 6. I don't' eat before I work out but I do use an energy booster.
dinner is always something light and high in protein. I DO NOT COOK so if I am eating dinner I pick it up from someplace-- grilled chicken from the grocer or KFC, side of green Beans or a side salad works fine. Taco Bell, I grab a burrito and a container of pintos and cheese, then when I get home, dump the burrito into a bowl and mix in some of those Beans, sprinkle some cheese on top. That's another couple of meals for me because I still can't eat a lot of food at one time. Hardees/ Carl's Jr/ Wendy's/ Five guys all make a lowcarb burger. ANy sandwich shop will make a sandwich a salad.
I try to be done eating by 8, but again if I need something, I have babybel cheese, some cheddar sticks, etc etc etc.
For food and recipe ideas, I love The World According to Eggface. I love any dish she makes in a muffin tin... it's the perfect size, yummy and packed with protein.
LOTS of options, tons of stuff we can eat. I just can't be bothered to cook and I am not an exciting eater but there is a typical day for me.
