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

FYI: I found the new Bear Naked granola that has 10 grams of protein at Walmart today for those of you that were looking for it.

Yummy! Looks good. Where did you buy it?

I bought a six pack at costco but I have seen them in most of our local grocery stores and walmart. It is a product of Thailand imported for us by Vancouver. I hope you can find them in the states.

General tso's tofu from Whole Foods. Probably not the best as I'm sure the sauce has sugar, but every once in a while SO good.

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!!!!!

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'm the same. I am 7 wks post op and have lost only 28 lbs. I gag or throw up all meat and gag easily at most protein. I basically have been living off of Cream of Wheat w/unsweetened almond milk, coffee w/cream for AM, unsweetened applesauce, organic crackers with peanut butter. Just started trying to eat 1-2 cheesesticks a day to get my protein in. I am going to start logging all of my food to really see what I am eating. I desperately want this to work, but since my weight loss is so slow, I am scared this is not going to work for me. I feel like I should have lost 40-50 lbs. by now. Started at 248, 219 this morning. Have chronic headaches and the canned shakes trigger headaches. With every bone in my body, I will do everything I can to be successful. I know I must get that protein in, and take my vitamins. They make me gag too or make my stomach feel sick so I don't take them often. I'm wondering what average weight loss if for most folks at say 8 weeks? I would love to know if people stalled already at 8 weeks. I know I'm doing something wrong and want to change that now to get better results. Is everyone exercising? Taking all of their vitamins daily? Eating 50 grams plus of protein a day? Could eating a primarily carb diet cause my weight loss to be slow?

Tummy acting up so protein shake with pb2 and half a banana for me.

Hi,

Do you make your protein shake from scratch or add the pb2 to a pre-made protein shake? I have some pb2 and wasn't sure what to add it to. I am having a difficult time getting in my protein, can't eat meat yet(7 wks. post op) or it makes me gag, so I'm getting my protein only through some peanut butter on a few crackers, and recently a cheesestick or two.

Sesame chicken and some walking dead....yummy Daryl (Norman) 'fans myself'

Hi and congrats on your awesome weight loss. I pray I have success! Do you log daily your food at Fitness Pal? I know I need to start logging my food and be mindful of that protein.
