Anyone have any ideas of foods to take with you when your on the run? I am usually really busy running errands during the day. My nutritionist told me to do 2 meat meals with vegetables, no fruit or starchy vegetables and 2 Adkins shakes.

lunch is the hardest thing to plan for. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think you should try the pure Protein bars for lunch when you are on the run! Works for me! Good luck Lisa

you could take a little lunch box with a cold pack and roll up cheese and lunch meat. like a wrap but without the bread part. you can wrap it in leaf lettuce if you tolerate that well. or wrap the lunch meat around a cheese stick. sometimes I wrap the cheese and lunch meat around steamed asparagus.

Good idea, but do the pure Protein Bars have carbs?

Not much but my surgeon said to concentrate mainly on protein! 6 months out and I only eat 500 calories a day and some days less! Try to only look for Protein i.e., Greek yogurt, almond milk

Walmart has a good selection of tuna packets. I need to look into if similar chicken packaging is available.

If you need to do fast food, you can find something at places like Arby's, Wendy's, Subway, Chick-fil-a and even Taco Bell.

Just avoid bread, breading, and fried foods.

For instance get a turkey (or other lean meat sandwich) without the bun, grilled chicken nuggets, etc.

I guess that's good in a way. You will have to remember to eat at least 3 times a day (my plan says 5-6) to make sure you aren't damaging your metabolism with so few calories. Try adding a little healthy fats into your diet to increase calories. Supplement with a shake if you're not getting enough Protein. You should carry a few single size servings of almonds for a snack. I also like baby bel cheese.

Your so right! Prior to surgery I lost 24lbs in 2 weeks! I need to do now what I did! So hard to eat! 2 bites and I am done! Stomachache! Doesn't last but a few minutes! Thanks and please keep in touch
