I think there's a pretty significant difference between 5 and 12 months out, actually. :) I think at 5 months I was still on about 2-3 oz Protein MAX per meal, and had difficulty adding anything else in (veg/fruit/carbs). I'm now at 10 months out (as of yesterday!) and I can generally eat 3 oz of protein, sometimes another oz of cheese, and a very small serving of fruit or veg with my meals. I generally eat about 1200 cals/day, with 75 grams of protein, about 40-50 grams of fat, and 60-80 carbs.

Examples of meals:

B ~ 1 scrambled egg, 1 oz diced ham, 1/2 oz shredded cheese with some sliced mushroom & tomato

L ~ today I had a turkey sandwich with 2 slices bacon/slice of cheese (ate open-faced so only 1 piece of light wheat bread), and a few kettle chips.

D ~ 3 oz brisket, 2 tbsps tzatziki, about 1/8 cup cucumber/tomato salad, 1 oz cheese. I have calories left so I might have a little fruit for a snack or a bit more cheese to get a little more protein for the day.
