I'm going cross-country skiing this weekend and want to take a hearty Soup that wont be too hard on my stomach. I'm a little less concerned about calories for that day since I'll be burning a ton. Plus, I've been feeling a little low blood sugary lately, I don't want to pass out in the woods with nobody around! FYI, I'm 5 wks 2 days PO.

Thanks!

Your better option is to take chili! If you make the base with blended black beans and 96% lean ground beef you have a super protein packed meal that's low in calories.

I was going to say chili as well. Another would be a thick bean soup/stew. Yumm!

Yogurts, cottage cheese, sf puddings and jello........

I couldn't handle chili at five weeks out. I would do a shredded chicken in broth, with a little rice, then mostly puree the whole lot. Or maybe a creamy, cheesy soup with some shredded chicken.

Don't overdo! Be careful.

Thanks all! These sound like great ideas for any day of the week, too!

I make an easy chili for my family:

1pound ground turkey

I red bell pepper chopped

1 green bell pepper chopped

1onion chopped

I small can tomato paste

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans black Beans

1 can chicken stock

a handful of chili powder to taste

And garlic powder, salt, pepper..or if I'm feeling even more lazy I just use a packet of chili spices and disregard the directions on it!

Brown the turkey I'm a big pot

Dump the rest in and cook until peppers are tender

I always made chili with ground beef cause my husband loves it, but I didn't care for it. Yesterday I made it with turkey and it was really good! Who knew! LOL

Honestly it depends on what your doctor allows. I was allowed sugar free popsicles and sugar free pudding, yogurt, added it mash potatoes and broth but every doctor is different.
