So far I’ve had one egg with a slice of bacon, that was my “brunch”. I plan to have a premier protein shake at 3:00pm and for dinner at 6:00PM a few slices of salsalito turkey with one babybel cheddar cheese. That’s what a typical day looks like for me. How about you? This is well under 800cals and has approximately 5 carbs total for the day.

Hi @Yo-yo girl

I am below goal but still losing, so am trying to up my calories! I had my ‘forever breakfast’ of a coffee shot with a bit of milk and protein powder and ice, blended to a slushie. Trying to add calories - so just had 20g watermelon for morn8ng tea.

Lunch will be oven roasted beetroot with baby spinach, crumbled feta and balsamic dressing. Made last night, portioned out into snack boxes for lunch.

Dinner will be a veggie tempeh loaf with cannelloni beans and BBQ plum glaze. Easy peasey to make, with bok choy.

If I push myself a little on dinner portion size, I should hit 1000 calories, and 60g carbs...

Sounds yummy especially the slushie coffee ?

Yep - it has been a lifesaver!! I really dislike most protein powder drinks - way too sweet or the whey flavour, of me, overpowers the food flavour. I mix two vanilla protein powders 50/50 - one is too sweet, the other has no sweetness at all, so the mix is pretty well right. The coffee masks any protein powder taste, and wakes me up! And I use 7 ice cubes - trial and error to get the righ number so it is icy but drinkable.

Today - dinner is mango and chicken tacos, with chipotle slaw...
