1.5 years post op-- weight loss stopped

[Kiba 47]

I am tracking my calorie intake via Fitbit -- very helpful, but I can see the issue is my Protein intake, I can't imagine hitting 100g of Protein a day without the shakes though. Anyone else doing it without the shakes? What is the focus on the protein coming from besides dairy, meat and nuts; most of the other sources tend to be heavy on the carbs, no?

I do have to supplement with Protein Bars. The rest of my protein comes from meat, cheese, nuts, and yogurt.

Back in my weight loss phase, my daily intake looked something like this:

Breakfast: Protein Bar (~20 grams)

Morning Snack: String cheese (~8 grams)

Lunch: Meat of some sort, usually leftovers (~16-20 grams)

Afternoon Snack: Greek Yogurt (~12 grams)

Dinner: Meat (~16-20 grams)

Evening Snack: Protein Bar (~20 grams)

For the "meat" mentioned above, it was always the protein portion of whatever my husband made for dinner (I was married back then). So if he made meatloaf and mashed potatoes, I just had meatloaf. Shrimp and Pasta, I had the shrimp. chicken and rice, I had the chicken. You get the idea.

Awesome information, thanks JamieLogical!
