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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
