I had so much fun reading all the responses in the first thread and hope you guys will hop in again on this one. The goal of this game is to build your day of protein so that you limit or eliminate as many protein drinks/bars/supplements as possible and obtain most of your protein from real food. Use the serving size guides and protein goals so they correlate to where you are presently.

For example: I'm gonna pretend that I'm post WLS by 3 weeks. At 3 weeks I'm at the soft solids. My daily protein goal is 74g for my height. My portion size is 2oz Protein/meal; 1oz Protein/snack. I'm to have 3 meals and 1-2 snacks daily. (Because I'm so close to surgery, I'm sure I will be relying very heavily still on protein supplements and will also probably need 3 meals + 3 snacks per day...)

OK, let's play!

I'm hungry all the time....all the time

My favourite meal is: 1 piece of whole grain whole meal bread, fat free eye bacon avocado, egg and spinich. And a can of tuna and vita wheats have lots of protein

@Meryline I'm so sorry you're hungry all the time! ((hugs)) That's a b***h and also exactly why I'm having the RNY. I gambling that it will reduce my hunger.

So will you post your most recent menu and daily calorie load/average daily macros? Also, if you input that into MFP and track sugar as one of your 5 tracked macros, what is the average daily sugar content (of course that's naturally occurring). I have some ideas about your hunger.

I think we figured out what is causing Meryline's hunger. She is a hair's breath from goal, and needed to increase her calories/protein/nutrition. Sometimes hunger isn't a bad thing!

@Berry78 Oh Derp! I missed that. Thanks girlie!! Glad y'all got it figured out and her body's working like it needs to. That's a nice issue to have, right?

BTW, should I start a new thread and we play another round of How I Get My Protein?

People may be getting bored of the protein one.. how about asking how many carbs (and from whence they come)?

Ok, you start that one!

Your wish is my command!

@Berry78 and @FluffyChix I had a 4 day weekend and stayed offline for the most part.

Yes, I'm hungry because I'm not eating enough. Still not eating enough, trying to figure out how I'm going to get more food in me, and still stay with in my guidelines of 50% protein.
