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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
