@@lwhit86 I'm sorry you're having such an issue. I would really suggest trying to eat lean Proteins and stay away from carbs and "extra" food that you don't need.

I eat a yogurt for Breakfast every morning because it fills me up more than a shake. I eat dannon light & easy. Its 80 calories and it has 12 grams of Protein. I snack on beef Jerky for protein.

I drink fairlife milk as well because it is higher in protein than regular milk.

For lunch I'll eat 2 or 3 oz of grilled chicken and I usually cant eat much more than that. Try turkey sandwich meat rolled up with some cheese (not kraft) with a little mustard.

For dinner, again, chicken. I always look to protein first.

Good luck! Feel free to send me messages whenever you like and Id be happy to give you suggestions.

Thanks so much for your reply, you've got some good suggestions. I'll keep those in mind...I'm good at keeping away from bread/pasta but those cheetos and my sweet tooth call in my head and it's so hard to not give in..what's your go to?
