Holy freaking crap! I got all my protein in and lemme tell you and am soooo freaking full! It took me an hour and a half to eat the 8oz of chicken that it took to get my protein in, but I did it! Two hard boiled eggs for breakfast and 8oz of chicken for lunch and I really have no desire to eat ANYTHING for dinner... I have lived on chicken and fish for 15 years (I don't eat red meat or pork) but after today if I never eat another piece of chicken it'll be too soon.

8 oz of chicken is like 2 -1/2 servings. I don't think that is the amount that they would want us to eat. I would think that maybe some greek yogurt for snack in the morning and afternoon and maybe a Protein drink to help so you don't have to eat so much meat but 8 oz is more than a normal person's serving and we should be eating less than normal. Unless I read something wrong.

My sample menu says:

Breakfast: 1/2 c cottage cheese or 1 egg with 1 oz cheese.

Lunch: 2 oz meat 1/4-1/2c veggies

Snack; Protein shake

Dinner: 3 oz meat 1/4-1/2c veggies

I think that gets 70-75 protein which is my range.

It wasn't all at once - I've been working on it for an hour and a half - basically from about 1:30-3:00. I was basically taking a bite or two every 15mins or so.

Lilee I think you did a great job. It may take you awhile to eat it but you did it. Way to go

Lilee84,

I had to do a double take! All this time, I thought you were the lovely lady in your avatar.... then the comment about your pre-pregnancy pants confused me! Saw in your profile that you can NOT be that lady!

That's my grandmother. She passed away Tuesday so I changed my pic in her memory.

^{Oh, I am so very sorry for your loss. A grandparent is such a strong and positive influence in one's life. I know you will miss her and cherish her memory forever.}

Thank you

a 1/2 oz of parmesan cheese (hard grated) has 5g of protein in it. it adds a real nice flavor also
