A Simple Day's Menu

[Elodie.Landerson 7]

Eating three regularly scheduled meals a day is another part of a healthy diet —a healthy Breakfast, a healthy lunch and a healthy dinner every day.

While we know that this isn't always easy, we also know that eating on a schedule will help you avoid between-meal hunger, which often leads to overeating at the next meal.

Here's a 1400-calorie sample one-day menu to use as a guide:

Breakfast

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup fruit cocktail in juice

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt mixed with fruit

Lunch

2 slices light whole wheat bread

2 oz turkey ham and 1 oz low-fat cheese

1/8 avocado, sliced

alfalfa sprouts

1 tsp mayonnaise

1/2 cup baby carrots

2 Tbsp nonfat dressing for dipping

1 apple

Dinner

4 oz chicken leg, no skin, baked

1 cup whole wheat Pasta

4 Tbsp low-fat vinaigrette, 2 for marinade and 2 to toss with Pasta (add extra vinegar, lemon juice or Water as needed)

1 cup broccoli and 1 cup zucchini, steamed and tossed with pasta

8 oz. 1% milk

Snack

1 cup cantaloupe melon

1/4 cup cottage cheese OR 8 oz skim milk

Well I suspected it the other day when "she" posted to eat fruit instead of drinking water.... so I guess its pretty obvious this person isnt a bandster.... 2 pieces of bread for lunch? 3-4 c of food for dinner? LMAO

I agree if we are in the green zone we have 3 or less meals a day of 1/2 a cup of food. Protein for us is so much more important. I mean sprouts, bread, Pasta. We would pb that up

What's the point of posting something that isn't accurate, let alone from a non bandster?? lol

[feb27bandwoman 112]

I think she is unaware of where she is posting. Certainly not a banded person.

Could someone please modify this for a bandster? I need a week's worth of simple daily meal plans. High Protein, of course.

Are you a bandster? I don't know anyone who can eat this much after surgery.

No fills yet and there is no way I could eat all that. I'm also wondering what the point of posting that on a band site was? Hmmmmm.

No offense, but this is WAY more than anyone with a Lap Band could or should be eating per meal.

You do realize this is a forum for people who are considering or have been banded?

This menu is great for a non-banded person but it has nothing to do with us here on the Lap Band boards.
