with this new way of life.

TIA

Water, water, water...Crystal light, south beach tide me over-has protien, special K add ins-has protien.

double skim milk pudding-FF SF pudding made with powdered milk mixed with skim milk instead of the directed water to boost the protien, with sliced bananas-yummm.

Rotessoire <sp> chicken-honey jalepeno is my fave. At HEB, I pull off all the meat weigh out my portions and put them in the fridge for easy meals.

Just for one-veggie servings.

FF refried beans with low fat cheddar and pace taco sauce-it is shut up good.

Canned peaches and low fat cottage cheese.

I normally buy wild caught sockeye salmon from costco. It comes already cut up in 5-6 oz portions. When I cook it up I only eat half of the portion for that meal and save the rest for lunch or dinner the next day.

I buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts and haven't had a problem yet with it being too dry. Since being banded I marinade my chicken breast in a little olive oil, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and spices. That keeps the chicken from drying out when I cook it on my gril panl. I also buy rotisserie chicken which is moist, easy and convenient.

Thanks for answering. I forget about using a marinade for chicken. I love salmon and had found a 3 pound reclosable package at Wallyworld with precut pieces. I will have to remember to stock up for myself (no one else in my house will eat it).

Thanks so much for the information!:confused:

Another good marinade is 1/4C Italian Dressing and 1 TBS Dijon Mustard mixed together. Marinade the chicken for 30 minutes...works great on pork too!

That sounds yummy. I love Dijon mustard anyway. I have so many ideas to try once I can eat food again. I am going to be stuck on a graduated diet for the next 4 weeks. :confused:

I have many of the things already mentioned but my favourite is a huge zip lock back of pre-cooked, semi-peeled jumbo prawns in my freezer (you guys call em shrimp). When I can't think of anything else for dinner, I'll grab 4-6 of those and chuck em in a non-stick wok with whatever veges I have on hand and different flavoured sauces - instant stirfry.

OMG I'm hungry for the first time... but it's head hunger :bolt: Gosh the thread is so full of great ideas.

For me its 8 oz of Muscle Milk which is half the suggested so it is 17 grams of Protein and a pack of instant low sugar oatmeal,for lunch I have a Bolthouse green drink smoothy yum has two servings of veggies as I have a problem with constipation and adding Fiber supplements did not help at all.Dinner I have a salad,I love the Bristol salad with walnuts,cranberries,and chicken 280 calories or I have a low cal frozon dinner.Make sure you take your multi Vitamins too because not getting the proper minerals cause constapation we must keep ph balanced so getting in your greens is a must in keeping things moving.

I keep Protein Bars handy for Snacks,and 4 oz fruit cup aswell as cottage cheese and tuna in Water.

drinks I love 4c dragon fruit singles mixed in water,and glacia greentea Vitamin waters. Bolthouse Chia tea

Before bed I have another half serving or Muscle Milk.I shoot for 1200 calories per day.

If I dont have to time to cook or am out, I love Wendy's chili. High in protein/low in fot. Skip the cheese...not worth the extra fat and calories.

I had wondered about Wendy's chilli.... Thanks!
