Typical Meals

[NkyBelle]

So after you get over the liquid phase and back on solid food again, would anyone like to describe what their typical diet looks like? Just wondering what kind of variety people get and still losing.

Typical day:

Breakfast:

small bowl of cereal

snack:

a few grapes

lunch:

1/2 chicken breast

maybe some soup, some salad, or some veggies (depending on my mood)

Dinner:

2 slices of turkey with gravey

1/2 c. mashed potatos

about 6-7 cut green beans

cookie for desert

snack:

apple (chunked, cored, and peeled)

Obviously I don't eat the SAME thing every day. But this is a typical day of a meal for me.

Breakfast

Strictly protein

scrambled egg whiteswith either 1/2 chicken breast or 1/2 turkey burger patty

Lunch

1/2 chicken breast with small salad

Dinner

some kind of protein ( steak, chicken or fish)

veggie, usually green beans or asparagus

fresh fruit like watermelon or cantaloupe

Breakfast is usually a packet of maple oatmeal with 1/4 cup raisins or blueberries added; for either lunch or dinner I will have some type of salad with protein ( usually chicken, fish, shrimp or crab); throw in some fresh corn on the cob lately or some Veg All and I'm good to go. If I snack, I try to snack on fruit but every now and then I need some type of handful of munchies. Was having a hard time getting the protein in for breakfast but someone recently mentioned beef jerky is a great protein source so I bought some 97% fat free jerky from Sam's Club. Not bad!

Any problems with the jerky? I tried turkey jerky and it got stuck in the first bite. Plus my jaws were tired from chew chew chewing on just that one bite. Man, what a work out! Have you had any issues with it? Just wondering.

[clg8579]

No issues so far. But you're right - my jaws get tired too I'm getting alittle tired of oatmeal and I'm not a big egg fan so I was trying to find something high in protein, low in fat and quick.
