A few ideas...I'm on the same diet, kind of. I can have 2 Protein shakes, 4 oz of lean Protein & 1/2 cup of veggies daily. No sugar in anything...and that includes natural sugars in fruit (which I miss A LOT!) I used to eat a banana and apple daily...and add blueberries & strawberries. Oh I miss those...but it'll be worth it!

Anyways....the protein can also be eggs, so I've been scrambling eggs with veggies and making an omelette. I don't like red meats so I've been chicken one night, scrambled eggs the next night. I just got a message back from my nurse and she said I can also have a vegan boca burger. Those are so good! So maybe try venturing out and trying some of those options.

Also...as far as the sugar, if the dr leaves it up to you, you may want to consider cutting out the sugary yogurt. I was told it causes cravings for more carbs and my cravings have calmed down quite a bit without the sugars.
