Just checking to see what is typical of what you would eat in a day. Assuming you are at restriction. I have done searches but am having trouble finding what people eat and what size portions they eat. Thanks,

Greg

I just had my first fill a week ago, but have a great amount of restriction...maybe I'll be those lucky few who hit their sweet spot after only 1 or 2 fills.

Anyway here is my menu from yesterday

Breakfast - 1/2 cup greek yogurt w/1tbsp Peanut Butter

lunch - reduced fat hot dog, no bun, and 1/4 cup green Beans

snack - banana

dinner - 1/2 homemade hamburger, 1/2 bun top, a few bites of baked beans

That's not my normal menu, I was out visiting family yesterday. Usually I have the greek yogurt for breakfast and it will keep me full for a good 4 hours. I also use it as a snack if I get hungry in between meals.

i was banded april 22nd and finally had my first fill 2 weeks ago and am at my sweet spot. a typical day for me is a glass of ff milk for breakfast (sometimes i have cottage cheese instead for the protein) lunch is seafood salad or tuna salad and dinner is tilapia and steamed vegs. my serving size is very very small - for lunch, literally 4 or 5 bites and im done which is less than 1/2 cup. dinner is a 2 oz tilapia filet and less than 1/2 cup of vegs. i don't really snack but if i do it's a bite of fruit or a few quaker mini rice snacks. i have lost a little over 60 pounds and feel great!

Typical day for me: The breakfast and lunch doesn't change but dinner is always different.

Morning coffee 1 cup regular w/creamer, then 1 cup instant mixed with EAS AdvantEdge Protein shake.

B: 3/4 cup cottage cheese &

1 pouch of 100 cal snack.

L: Snickers Marathon Bar & 1 oz chips

(I can't seem to give these up, but 1 oz is 150 calories.)

D:Chicken/Burger/Fish, 3 oz plus veggies and maybe 2-3 bites of potato/rice/pasta.

During the day, I get all my 64 oz of liquid and when I just need to put something in my mouth, I have tic tacs (Orange) or VoJo mints. Tic tacs are a great way to wait the 30 minutes for a drink!

I eat a little bit more these days as I'm maintaining and my restriction has waned a bit over about a year without fills.

Typically, for breakfast I'd eat a bowl of muesli (standard 1/2 cup size serving) with maybe a little bit of sliced banana on it and some skim milk or one of those gourmet greek yogurts with the pureed fruit. Mid morning I usually try to eat a piece of fruit (not really hungry but try to eat a piece of fresh fruit a day). lunch is things like a salad (about a Cereal bowl full of leafy vegies, and things like carrot, tomato, mushrooms, cucumuber, and a Protein like tuna or egg), maybe cheese and crackers (4 or 5 crackers and small slices of cheese), sometimes a sandwich on wholegrain bread and very occasionally, an Aussie classic junk item - the sausage roll or meat pie (very occasionally!). Mid afternoon I'll usually sneak some sort of crap in, a cookie or two with a cuppa after work. dinner is nearly always healthy, we dont eat much junk for dinner in our house - could be anything, roast chicken, steamed veg, home made bolognaise, chilli, dahl, curries, stews, Soups, last night we had the most delicious lamb cutlets, with salad. I eat about a cup total for dinner.

Oh, a couple of nights a week I'll have a glass of wine.

Most days it totals up to somewhere between 1500 and 1800 calories.

when i was losing, I never had the extras and it usually totalled 1200 to 1500. 1500 would have been a big day.
