I typically have a cupcake from Emilybites.com for lunch everyday. They are freaking amazing.

Roast beef salad from subway. I get double meat and then divide it in half for 2 meals.

Jennie-O taco seasoned ground Turkey with some fat-free refried beans and a sprinkle of Cheddar.

I had 2 oz of Boars Head Honey Ham slices. Cut 1/2 oz slice of Swiss cheese in half and rolled it up inside the ham to make 2 ham n cheese rolls. Quick and easy and goes down very well.

Wow I feel like I eat so much more than what everyone listed. And I feel like I eat all day long...I'm 11weeks out and down 42lbs. A little disappointed but better than nothing. Today I've had a hard boiled egg' date=' 4oz of chicken salad with celery stalks, 4 pieces of beef Jerky, 1/2 cup of dry granola, 3 or4 pineapple chunks and I'll probably eat something else before the nights over because I just got back from Zumba and I'm always hungry after that. Am I doing too much? I've not really been sick except a couple times(eating too fast I think). Just feel like I should be eating less...

That all equals 934 calories and 60g of protein[/quote']

Wow I'm impressed that you are only 11 weeks out and can get in so many calories. i am almost 9 months out and can't even get in 800 sometimes!

I think you are talking about your daily intake. I am working to maintain and I eat 2000 calories a day and have been successful for the last 3 months at this pace. (This is JUST FOR ME, I'm not educated in this field.) I personally only listed what I ate for lunch. If I told you everything I ate yesterday you would get bored real quick because it is a long list. I feel like I eat constantly too and I worry about "grazing" like it's my job!! What I'm trying to get at is you're probably OK and you shouldn't stress when comparing what others have listed here on this thread. Any concerns about if you're "OK" or not should be taken up with your doctor or nutritionist. As I said we were only talking lunch, not all day food intake. Hope that makes you feel better!

Are we allowed to have iceberg lettuce? My nut said to stick to romaine??

I'm allowed to have iceberg but have been sticking the fresh greens & spinach. NUT said iceberg is hard to digest for some...just not ready to test it out ;-}

Work nights' date=' so I slept through lunch, but for dinner I had two pieces of sushi and 1/4 cup of hot and sour Soup..14 grams Protein and 250 calories = Yummy![/quote']

Working nights makes dieting harder...I usually sleep through lunch or dinner depending on when I go to bed. Need to get myself on a better sleep schedule...trying to prep myself for vacation and surgery. I'm just thankful that being a lap band patient currently I have the eating right down pretty good.

i work nights friday thru monday also. fridays i tend to eat a lot more since I am up for more than 24 hours straight and monday I barely eat anything since most of the day I am sleeping

2 oz. of Broiled chicken' date=' 2 oz. of mixed veggies, and I ate 3 bites of salad! I'm still excited, since this is the first time I've had salad since surgery! So, happy![/quote']
