What ya eating tonight?

I had a small sweet potato, with a tablespoon of i cant believe its butter,

And i boiled a boneless skinless chicken breast. With salt and pepper, curry, garlic powder and some soul food seasoning. After it cooked i put a tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the side so the bites of chicken wouldnt be to dry,

All was good, filled up quick even tho i was slow eating

Chicken breast can be dry and cause problems. Try legs and thighs from now on.

I only eat chicken breasts (legs and thighs taste too greasy for me). Try marinating it in Greek yogurt or buttermilk, and make sure you don't overcook it. One of the easiest ways is to sear each side over medium high heat in a skillet for 4-5 minutes (you'll know it's seared when it flips without sticking to the pan) and then finishing in the oven for 20 minutes at 375. It comes out juicy every time.

Not sure i don't like mayo. Took an hour to eat the 6 inch. The topping were sparingly. I only use the vinegar on my subways sandwiches. And it was wheat bread.

No way could I eat that bread. It takes me a half hour to eat a slice of toast with cream cheese on it. I'm 9 months out. People- you must must must stay away from that bread!

Part of what works for sustained weight loss is a low carb lifestyle.

was it dry? I had to put bbq sauce on mine for a little moisture...but everything iwent down fine...it amazes me how nothing bothers me...sometimes I wish something would happen

Eat a piece of sugar free candy and let me know what happens. That's the only thing that has gotten me horribly sick.

I've been dying for Subway however I just keep fighting it. I keep seeing all those carbs in the bread. However you could probably do a salad from there. But why not just make your own

It was my first subway and my last for a good while. I do have to agree with you on the bread. Even if it was wheat bread it wasn't 100% whole wheat.

I know it's hard not to get some sort of carbs in with meals. Does anyone know how many carbs we are actually suppose to have a day like a total? They preach about protein and making sure we get no less then 60 grams a day but my Nut never said anything about carbs

Per my nutritionist....4 meals a day (three meals plus a snack) 200-250 calories per meal, 20 grams of protein per meal, 15-20 grams of carbs per meal.

So 800-1000 calories, 80 grams of protein (goal is at least 60), and 60-80 grams of carbohydrates.

Hope this helps!!!!!

Yes it does, my aunt swears i should only have 20 grams of carbs a day. No one can function on only 20 carbs a day

oh no way too scared...there were doughnuts on the counter and I was thinking "what would happen if I took a bite" then I thought no way lol

Even in the super low carb pre-op hell I am currently living in,I average 30 carbs a day from the shakes...and I'm pretty sure I'm dying because of it! 20 doesn't seem realistic to me...

I am not able to take in that many calories. I've tried three meals a day and a snack. I just can't get it in. Maybe that's why my weight lose is down to about 2 pounds a week.

I was doing pretty well getting at least 70 grams of protein with 700-800 calories. Then I caught a cold and now I still get my protein but I'm struggling to get more than 700 calories. I just have no appetite and I get full so quickly. Plus I've been getting dizzy every single time I stand up. I think I need to call my surgeons office. This doesn't feel right.

I roasted butternut squash & puréed it with veggie broth!!!! Yummmmy

I've been having dizzy spells also. I've also had moments when I felt like my heart rate was elevated. My nut said I needed to drink more water.

I had grilled turkey patty with sauteed onions and mushroooms. Delicious
