So this is 5 weeks out ?

Sorry! No! It's actually Week 4. I chew to an applesauce consistency. And have added foods slowly. I'm very easily eating 1/2c volume now and eating between 3-4oz total meal weight without issues. Looking at my RD plan, that puts me doing exactly what they theorize in their sample menus.

Yours looks better than mine! My lunch is 3 days worth of left over veggies and shredded chicken breast with a 1 tbsp of gravy. The chicken is 2 days old so I needed something to perk it up. And I’ll only eat half of this.

Week 4 Lunch - Soft Diet (Phase 3)

Remember tuna casserole when you were a kid? We used to mix it with different veggies like spinach or broccoli or a box of blue box mac n' cheese to feed more peeps. But now days, pasta is off the table--at least for me while I'm in double stealth losing mode! I opened a can of salmon yesterday, now I'm in a race against time to use it up or make dishes with it and freeze it before it goes bad. And when good salmon goes bad. Man. You don't wanna be there!

Salmon Stove-Top Casserole -

Serves 1: 1/2c by volume (figure weight based on recipe ingredients)

1.5oz canned salmon, skinless (bones pulverized and mixed into salmon for the calcium boost) (HoneyBoy Pink)

1/4tsp granulated garlic (Tones)

1/4tsp dried basil

fresh ground pepper (optional)

1oz baby spinach

14g (1/2oz) frozen baby peas

1/8c water (to use for sauteing spinach and peas)

30g (1oz=2tbsp) Classico Light Asiago Romano Alfredo

1/2Tbsp grated parmesan (Frigo)

Nutrition for entire lunch: 106 cals; 13g protein; 4g fat; 7g carbs; 2g fiber; 5g net carbs; 2g naturally occuring sugars (from veggies)

***I'll be back for afternoon snack! Stay tuned!
