I drink, Pure Protein Frosty chocolate shakes. They ate convenient and I drink them cold like chocolate milk. I fell in love with Campbell's hand held Soup Tomato Bisque w/ Parmesan. Yummy...I also love tuna salad. I eat that daily for lunch. I never worry about protein requirements.

i thought slimfast was a NO NO because it has to many carbs/???

Use Crystal Light Sunrise Orange in a cup of 1% milk 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use EAS WHEY) and lots of ice in the bullet. OMG it is sooooo good. For an extra treat put just a little squirt of Redi-Whip on top. I think this would be less calories then using the orange juice.

Try it and let me know what you think please

I do not count carbs.

thats what throws me off because i thought we were suppose to be careful with carbs, sugars, sodium etc.....i know dr's are different but i didnt know we can drink slim fast, i like thats y i ask.

Most doctors do recommend high protein/low carb....I just chose not to follow that. I rarely drink slimfast, just every once in a while. Not because of the carbs, because I try not to have much artificial sweeteners in my diet.

b'fast~ coffee

lunch~ 2/3 of chicken scaloppini from Johnny Carino's

snack~ 1 oz almonds

dinner~ 16 oz mean green juice (fresh!)

I've been eating greek yogurt with fruit, the peach yogurt with a cup of peach bits, and cottage cheese with mandarin orange bits (think I've overdone the oranges) great snack!

my doc says low carb slimfast, not regular... for what it's worth.
