This was a bigger lunch I had the other day.

6 weeks post op VSG

I missed breakfast, so that wasn't good. But this is a general lunch /dinner for me

The food portions are

2oz beans

3 oz chicken breast

1 teaspoon humus

1 teaspoon picante sauce

1/4 of a pita pocket

(I decided to not eat any more break, even 1/4) until the tail end of my weight loss)..

Carbs can be an award, when I've lost the bulk of my weight

It looks like a lot of food, but it's really not

You're not going to add muscle/bulk with the limited calories we're getting at this stage. It will help you prevent losing the muscle you already have, though.

I guess it really comes down to which do you prefer:

- lose weight at a possible slower pace, but know you're losing mostly fat and little muscle

- lose weight slightly faster, but know you're losing both fat and existing muscle

I'm at the point where I'm willing to lose slower if it means preserving muscle, as I think I'm going to need the muscle to not look like a deflated balloon.

Lol ok ,

You're funny

I got it lol
