What are you guys eating?



Recommended Posts

For those who are able to stick to the plan/food intake goals, what are you eating? What did you eat today? What is your menu on a typical day? I am not getting enough Protein, and I feel like I am getting too many carbs. Looking for ideas and suggestions- thank you.

There is so much you can eat once you start your solids. My typical Breakfast would eggs. Any sort. Good Protein and very easy specially if you have busy mornings. lunch I would either have can of tuna, fish fillet, chicken breast. For dinner stuffed capsicum with mince, salmon, chicken kebabs anything meaty. Also I have at least one Protein Shake per day sometimes two. Depends if I do gym in morning and cardio in afternoon. If I do two sessions I have two if one I just have one. If you feel hungry in between just have carrot stick or few nuts.

i had an egg scrambled with tuna for breakfast, lunch was some diced baked chicken and 2 small boiled brussels sprouts (i ate one), dinner will be salmon and, if i have room, a little bit of zucchini. i usually don't have room for the veg, but i always give it a try:) i have a little container with an oz of low fat cheese with me in case i get too hungry before dinner, but i doubt ill need it. i usually do some variation of this menu... eggs for breakfast, some kind of meat and a tiny big of veg for dinner and lunch, pack some low fat cheese or nuts/seeds (loooooooove sprouted raw pumpkin seeds) for a snack since my days are super long.

coffee for breakfast

Fish,Crab,Shrimp. Baked or sauteed. 3x a day sometimes 4 to get my Protein depending on what my Snacks are.

I still use Protein drinks on occasion to get my Protein up or if I am going out on a date. I have Quest bars or protein brownies every now and then.

I eat zucchini and cucumbers and rutabagas.

Boar's Head Tavern Ham

Sometimes I make a burger. and eat it with no bun. Grass Fed Beef.

I don't eat turkey or chicken, they are too hard to process for me

Greek yogurt with berries for breakfast, beef barley Soup and a cheese string for lunch, 2 Premier Protein shakes (1 for dinner, 1 post workout). Unfortunately I also caved and had 2 brownies at work. Made a resolution to recommit to tracking ALL my food (good or bad). Hoping it helps me rethink caving to cravings. I've been getting lax on the carbs ????

I'm just under 4 months out and I too feel I'm eating too many carbs and not enough Protein.

eggs don't sit well and I don't eat fish or yogurt (blahhh...have tried and tried)

So I have resolved to make one big pot of Soup per week, this has been helpful since I can eat meat if its wet enough. plus boiling soup bones (beef, ham, chicken, turkey) is full of collegian Protein

I'm a work in progress.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
