When I'm in a situation where I did not pack a lunch or am out shopping or something, a small chili from Wendy's does the trick. It has 190 calories and 14g Protein.< /p>

WOW, that much Protein is awesome. I just wish they weren't so heavy on the onions! Wendy's chili is great until I start burping it for hours!!!!! That is why I love to make that other recipe at home, I can skip the onions and enjoy myself.

Cranberry Orange Breakfast Barley

Shopping List:

1 cup barley, 2 cups orange juice, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 3 tbsp. honey, 1/4 tsp. Simply Organic Cinnamon

If you have to up your Protein....how about using Quiona?

I will buy some barley because I do LIKE your recipe. It would be like eating a healthy danish but with a spoon. Your recipe goes with my nuttyness on this way of life... eat foods that make you feel and look like you are endulging, yet you are not and..benefit..is the weight loss...

If you have any ones like this can you please post or send directly to my email.

I am soooo with you on this. I have many times been on the go and going through the drive thru at Wendy's for chili is the easiest thing to do and it's easily eaten while driving.

The smell is intoxicating......... LOVE...LOVE... Wendy's Chile...our Weight Watchers has always put it on its required foods list........ me, I loved the founder of Wendys because he tried to get kids out of Foster Care and every Halloween I purchase the little books of shakes and give it to the kids for trick or treat....This year I left a book for myself (for those days)... the small size is toooo much for me...

I have a friend got a call from her school principal. Her son goes to a jewish school and the Rabbi called. He asked her what was wrong with her son?

Let me tell you, she said nothing wrong, as her heart fell. He called because all the kids chucked down the macaroni and cheese, and her son did not.

NOW, who does not love macaroni and cheese and theirs are made fresh.

So she RAN repeat RAN to school to check out her son (4 th grade)....

It turns out he would not eat it because it tasted funny...did not taste like hers

WHY HERS???????????

She adds the yellow can of seafood seasoning with the crab on it to everything for a zing....... and it is Kosher

WOULD YOU BELIEVE>...

DS my fresh macaroni and cheese (did not tell him... but he said good cheese)

and add to fish and I make everything from scratch and it is soooooo good

The seasoning is OLD BAY and it comes in a yellow tin with a red/orange top sold in the spice section......states used for seafood and has three pictures of seafood on it:w00t::confused::w00t::)

California pizza Kitchen

Crispy Thin Crust

Sicilian

I can only eat thin crust pizza. This one is excellent tasting and goes down if I eat very slowly. I also dip mine in Ranch Dressing which helps. It really helps with the pizza cravings. I was a "Pizza Queen" before the lap-band!

My clan would not eat that...but OMG...looks so good!

I had that problem at the beginning with the pasta...it is the chewing thing try rice.... but my nutritionist wants me to eat more Protein so..........

As for your post about the pizza, I could not believe it.. your link showing the product is sold here at my local store and NEVER thought of buying it. Who thought that pizza would have the Protein in it..

Had to reedit this ....

I do not belong to sams club... I will ask my friend to get the chicken for ME.....it sounds so good

Kelloggs Special K Multi-Grain Crackers .... 17 have 90 calories, 2 grams of Protein, 16 net grams of carbs (or one carb exchange if you're still operating on a diabetic exchange mindset). Crunchy. When I want a carb, I can have my whole grain carb, my crunch, and they taste really good. There is another flavor with Tomato and basil -- same stats, but I don't like them as much.

These are fairly new on the market.

I didn't know that their chili was low in calories. That's good to know while I'm out and about.

I do not own a microwave...my DH put alumin foil in it twice...so no microwave BUT a friend from my group... buys the Wendys chili and puts it in freezer and mcrowaves it when needed.

It works for her!!!

I make mine (recipe given) and freeze portion sizes :0)

Love my chili :0)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
