What do you eat for Breakfast?

In weight loss mode, I eat chicken breast or grilled shrimp for Breakfast.< br />
Snacks?

Protein shakes

dinner?

Protein + a green veggie. Some of my favorites for protein are: turkey meatballs with Sriracha ketchup, sauteed scallops with Moroccan spice blend, small lamb chop. I also use a lot of canned sardines and the flavored tuna and salmon packets. Any kind of fish is really good if you fork-mix it with your favorite sauce (and possibly some avocado or chopped spinach or kale) and bake it in the oven with an egg on top. Scrambled cheesy egg is another favorite protein. Then I add a green veggie on the side, such as roasted broccoli, cauliflower with smoked paprika, or grilled asparagus. I hit the Trader Joe's frozen food aisle hard!

Also what powders or shakes you guys drink?

Syntrax nectar (chocolate truffle and Cappuccino flavors), Syntrax Matrix, unjury (chocolate splendor flavor). Chike (iced coffee and chocolate bliss flavors but really they are all good). I mix my shakes with unsweetened vanilla cashew milk or the unsweetened vanilla cashew/almond blend.

@ Do you mean how many grams of meat or fish is good for a meal? 150 grams is a lot more than I would eat if trying to lose weight. In fact, I doubt I could eat 150 grams of meat even if I wanted to. When I am trying to lose weight, my typical meal looks like:

85 grams of meat/fish/eggs OR

55 grams of meat/fish/eggs plus 30 grams of green veggies

@ I am three years post-op on a normal diet and I can tell you I could not eat that much meat (or poultry or fish). My total meal is typically 85 grams of meat plus maybe 45 grams or so green veggies. If eating only meat/chicken/fish without veggies, I have never eaten more than about 120 grams and frankly that was a mistake, I was uncomfortable after that.

If I am feeling low on veggies I will space my meal out -- eat 85 grams of green veggies, wait at least an hour, then eat 85 grams of meat or fish. But that is rare.

I'm 4 months post op but I can only eat about 42-56 grams of meat or fish Protein before I feel too full. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt because it's easier for me to get down.
