:hungry:I thought we might be able to share some ideas. Right now, this is what I'm most comfortable with in a day....
Breakfast (I am usually VERY restricted): EAS Carb Control Protein shake, ice, chewable Vitamin, chewable Calcium, frozen fuit, fresh fruit, extra whey protein (Any Whey), in a blender. I sometimes drink at once, sometimes sip most of the morning.
Then Water until lunch. I don't do Crystal Light, but sometimes I put a splash of fruit juice in my water.
Snack: Usually none. If I NEEED one, I have a 100 calorie carb control Protein Bar, or around 8 nuts. Nuts fill me up fast.
Lunch: meat and vege. Could be canned tuna and chopped fresh veges....Could be ground beef and grilled veges....anything.
Then water until dinner.
Snack: Green salad with a tiny bit of really yummy dressing.
Dinner: Same as lunch.
If I'm out for lunch or dinner, I give myself the treat of ordering absolutely anything and just doing portion control. At home, I'm stricter about only healthy foods.
After dinner: water. sugar free popsicle. I count up my protein and if I'm short, I have part or all of another Protein Shake. The EAS Carb Control ones are only 110 calories.....
