OK. For tomorrow - Breakfast 1 egg with rigotta cheese, coffee with milk Lunch - 6 oz of tuna made with mayo and a banana. Dinner - remains to be seen...

So far today....

NO BREAKFAST....

I ended up sleeping in late so will have my 3rd meal later tonight and call it snack time, even though it will be a small meal of some sort, maybe a greek yogurt and some cucumbers or some chicken breast and a yogurt.

lunch...

Small can tuna in Water, drained, added in 1 tsp fat free mayo and a bit of pickle relish, heated in microwave to make a tuna melt and added a sprinkling of fat free cheddar on top to melt.

1 cup of black bean tortilla Soup - (another Nutrisystem meal, yep, am trying desperately to use these up so they are out of my house, lol). The taste on this one actually is pretty good. I have had it with a bit of mild salsa mixed in and some fat free sour cream on top and it isnt bad.

SUPPER...

To be determined but am most likely making some baked cod fish fillets in the oven and will eat one small filet, maybe a tiny portion of some wild rice and/or quinoa, and some type of veggie, probably oven roasted broccoli with sesame seeds/olive oil/garlic (I usually eat 1/2 to 1 cup of veggie depending on if I have anything else with the Protein or not).

Oh and will down a 26 gram protein shot later today.

Too embarassed to post ...

b - 2 eggs with peppers, ham, onions and a few home fries.

yesterday:

22-grams protein shake

1 bowl of soup (cream of chicken) with crumbled crackers

1 grilled chicken sandwich (McDonalds)

Man I really think I need a fill.

2.5 weeks out:

Mornings: Shake

Lunch: 1 cup of soup

Dinner: green bean casserole and Sugar free jello cup.

I'll be banded 2 years this November! OMG!

Breakfast: Coffee & non fat milk ..... 8oz pure cranberry juice with 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed, 1 tablespoon of hoodia, 1 tablespoon of bennifiber.

Snack: Coffee & non fat milk ...... pure protein bar

Lunch: 1 cup of taco seasoned turkey meat with a bit of cottage cheese mixed up with it.

Dinner: I have no clue yet. Maybe some leftover soup from the other night that I made. It's got butternut squash, onion, broccoli & brusslesprouts then I blended it with a bit of fat free cream.

Desert I always have vanilla jello pudding (fat free, sugar free)

Ok, I know I'm going to get myself in trouble but it seems like most of you are basically on a very restricitive diet! If that works long term, great, but I think all my dieting is how I got fat.

I eat small portions of regular food! I will NEVER eat anything low fat or low calorie or fake sugar or anything like that!

I eat regular food, focus on protein, but my band only lets me eat tiny meals....

yesterday I had two portions of lasagna, a serving of sauteed spinach , some sushi, cheeses and crackers, and some wine.

I probably eat bout six times a day...

I'm not on a restrictive diet..I eat whatever I want when I want to eat it...I just know that I shouldn't be able to wolf down a whole grilled chicken sandwich from McDonalds...or a 6 inch sub from subway. You said it yourself....little protions...and what I'm able to eat right now isn't little anything.

Today:

Three months out - lost 27 lbs

Breakfast 1 scrambled egg and EAS carb control protein shake

Lunch: FIsh, cooked carrots and peas, two small bites of mashed potatoes

Snack: nutrisystem chocolate peanut butter bar

Dinner: Salmon and a plum

Too many carbs, in my opinion. The nutrisystem bar put me over in carbs. Have to watch that in the future.

How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 protein,1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein.

Your thoughts, please?

Also, does anyone here use protein shots? Where do you buy them and how much do they cost? Thanks!!

Breakfast: Snackwell protien bar (8g) 140 cal

Lunch: Salad w/ Romain

3oz serloin (leftover) (18g) 161 cal

shredded parm cheese (3.6g) 39 cal

croutons (1g) 30 cal

Thousand Island 2T (.3g) 114 cal (not lite =(

Supper ( tentatively)

3 oz pork chop (24g) 214 cal

1/2 baked potato (1.3 g ) 83 cal

1/2 cup steamed cabbage (1g) 35 cal

And I'm sure I'll have a skinny cow icecream sandwich before the night is thru.

The scale finally moved ! Four pounds down my second week on my high protein low carb food plan! Just need to keep coming here for inspiration and support.
