After this fun thread from yesterday about lunches, I thought it would be interesting to see what people have for lunch.

I go through weeks on weeks of having nothing more than a shake, so I'm interested to see what others do.

Today, I had a Chobani plain greek yogurt with a tablespoon of chia seeds. That particular yogurt is low in carbs, which is good since I'm trying to limit mine. Adding in the Chia seeds gives it fiber, which helps keep me out of the various ohmahgawdI'msoconstipated threads. I let the chia seeds soak in for a few minutes so that they soften and taste better, and then a mix in a little water or tea to make it moist again (otherwise it turns to paste).

I found my new breakfast. It's Chobani plain Greek yogurt with three teaspoons of coconut-sweetened cacao nibs. It's like eating chocolate chip yogurt, and it's only 155 calories and 12 carbs (with 5 grams of that being fiber). It's been a nice change from shake, shake, shake every day.

1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese

Don't you just love cocoa nibs? We really like the Scharffenberger (sp?) brand. Will have to try that with the yogurt! Ha! In fact, running to try it now for a late lunch/snack!

**Back with a Report: Ok, I started with just the yogurt/cottage cheese mixture I use (to lower the carbs from straight yogurt and to increase the protein). And it was good, but I only have the unsweetened nibs. But then I added PB Slim powder and it overwhelmed the nibs...then I went nuts and added slivered almonds, frozen blueberries and fiber one. YUM! Super delicious "granola" topping filled with good fiber and proteins. GREAAAATTTTT crunch with the nibs!

Ok, I know this sounds like a weird breakfast, but sometimes I like to have smoked oysters with a few crackers. 4 Club crackers have 9g carbs and 3.5g fat, negligible protein. Smoked oysters, however, are high protein, low carb - 11g protein, 6g fat, 2g carbs. I do try to get as much of the oil off of them as possible. I am able to eat the entire can (4 oz), so I end up getting in 22g protein. Yes, I know the fat grams is a tad high, but my food choices the remainder of the day are low fat choices and my plan allows for 38 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fat per day.

Oooh smoked oysters sound so so good. Used to enjoy smoked gouda or Swiss cheese. The county 1 to the NE of me Holmes County Ohio has Heine's and many other cheese factories. Coincidentally it also has Ohio's largest Amish population. Has anyone outside Ohio tasted Trail Bolonga? The best comes from Trail, Ohio and its another of my guilty pleasures. If you haven't the best way I could descibe is a smoked summer sausage but that pales in comparison to the real thing. Come visit me and I'll take you, there. And once my friend Robert brought me some made from venison, I want to lick my fingers remembering it.

I LOVE oysters. I never even thought about how much protein is in them. May have to try and see how well the go down.

Strawberry and rhubarb Icelandic yogurt (low carb, high protein, yum) and cold brew coffee with whole milk.

I have no problem with them. The consistency is just right since I’m only out 4 weeks from surgery.

Oatmeal...again...cause I can't get enough of it these days. Weird, weird, weird.

Sugar free maple flavor packet with splenda, and a half a tablespoon of pecans.

Couple hours later I had second breakfast like a hobbit...and had half a cup of chia pudding with blueberries.
