What is your typical Menu as a Bandster?

[tonya66 13]

Give me an example of what you eat everyday. What do you eat for Breakfast, what time? Whats for lunch, how many ounces? Whats for dinner? Do you snack? What do you eat for snack?

Do you exercise? How often?

hi Sunshine

breakfast is normally 1 scrambled egg w/ a slice of swiss cheese and mushrooms

lunch is either a south beach wrap pack (2 small wraps 230 cals 24 gm protein) or a chicken breast on 1 piece of bread w/ pepper jack cheese and mushrooms

i've been getting kind of hungry on the SB wraps lately though

dinner is mostly fish right now - i am on a mahi mahi kick ... mmmmm

and veggies

Snacks range from a handfull of almonds to a SF / FF dulce Jello pudding cup - 60 cals

lots of crystal light, etc...

that's the best thing about this - it is not a "diet" in the sense of the word. sure you are watching what you are eating, but it is not THAT restrictive... i dont ever want to be on a diet again.

So i would have to add in a Protein Shake and get some measuring cups or a little weigh machine to help me keep track of the ounces

wow did think it would be that much work

It shouldn't be that restrictive. When I got my band, I said I would never diet again, and I don't. You just need to learn to listen to your body and your band. They will let you know when you are no longer hungry and it is time to stop eating. I don't measure or count anything, who wants to live life that way? Not me!

not at all... i measured my Cereal once so i could get a good look of 1 1/2 servings of Cereal was. now i just eye ball it.

i do not do Protein drinks much except after my fill (1 day). i get my Protein from solid food ... mmmmm ... food ...

I haven't measured anything either. I just eyeball it too. You will learn that your band is in charge. Some days I can only eat about 4 bites at a meal and some days I can eat 1 cup of food. I never know what to expect.

I eat Special K Meal bars (10 grams protein) and I love Stoffers frozen meals. They are around 10 oz and with my fill last week I cannot eat a whole one to the delight of my dog. I love my sugar free puddings too. I eat a small portion of whatever I fix for hubby for dinner.< /p>

Best wishes,

edie

I usually eat a couple of pieces of sandwich toast for Breakfast

a couple of small cracker biscuits for morning tea

a pitabread with some kind of filling for lunch (ie cottage cheese & tuna)

a couple of low calorie sweet biscuits for afternoon tea (arrowroot)

and meat and veges for dinner...my servings are the inside circle of a side plate.
