I do push the limits of the food budget 1300-1500 calories per day vs. the typical 800-1200 quoted by most doctors. I do this for 4 reasons:

 

1) I think that they (the doctors) under estimate the amount of protein people need. The higher I keep my protein the better weight comes off.

 

2) I lift weights and feel I need the extra protein

 

3) I want to keep my metabolism in as high a gear as I can

 

4) based on my target weight 190 lbs. I won’t have to make many changes when I get there.

 

Key for my Menu

 

First, one of my key tools is Vitol Egg protein powder.

 

Second is packing all my meal in 8oz plastic containers so I don’t have to guess.

 

Third, we make most of the items below in a big batch on Sunday and uses them during the week.

 

Fourth, sometimes you have to eat out, when I do I stick to fish or soups/stews they are easier to digest.

 

Fifth, I avoid directly adding carbs because they make my hungry between meals.

Option 1: 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites, 1oz low fat cheese and sliced peppers and mushrooms

Option 2: 1 Cup Oatmeal with Vitol Egg powder 2 Tablespoons (adds 24Grams of Protein)

I would like the recipe for the chipotle chicken crock pot stew sound very healthy. I make all my own food too and pack them like you do so I do not have to guess. I just grab and go from the fridge or freezer. Thanks for the ideas. If it works for you tat is all the matters. Best wishes imaluckydog
