Food- best nutritional for limited volume



Recommended Posts

What are your top foods for high nutritional value yet for smaller volume?

I still have a premier shake to help get in Protein. I am also sautéing 1-1.5 cups of spinach with an egg to get more Iron and Fiber. I have nuts or nut butters to help with protein and increase my calories for maintenance.

I have not tired chia seed but plan to soon.

I love things like:

Green Soup (2-3oz of shrimp cooked in Bone Broth with any kind of chopped greens and frozen onion, pepper, celery blend -- then I spice it however I feel like it.

I also love salads cuz I can eat more at a meal and I focus on 2-3oz of dense Protein (salmon, tuna, sardines, shrimp, Boar's Head lunchmeat turkey or chicken. or lite liverwurst to get more Iron in) and use Walden Farms or Triple Zero dressings. Then I add healthy fats with controlled amounts of avocado, olives, reduced fat cheese, pumpkin or sunflower seeds. I can get a ton protein and nutrients for around 100 cals.

I also love fish, shrimp, and all seafood cuz it's a lot of protein per ounce (or can be) and very low in cals.

Also green smoothies with Protein Powder, frozen spinach, frozen blueberries (1oz), Peanut Butter powder and cashew milk is very dense. I also add whole pysllium husks for more Fiber and a shake that sticks to your ribs!

I love my super food yoghurt bowl: Nonfat Greek yoghurt, prickly pear juice, Protein Powder, mixed berries, seed/nut combo (slivered almonds, sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, barrel cactus - like chia). Yum 0h yum.

Power smoothie: nonfat milk, nonfat Greek yoghurt, Protein powder, prickly pear juice, greens (any combo of beet, turnitp, kale, spinich, arugula, etc), mixed berries. Double yum.

Lentil Soup with pea protein powder has a lot of protein punch.

All three options are "sliders." They go down well and sit well once they are there. :)

I was using Bariatric Pal food packets to manage this until the hosed me on return of inedible items. Being charged 30% for shipping/handling makes me begin to look elsewhere.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
