Too much food = chest pain!

Oh, I just ate too much for supper. I worked pizza into my nutrition for the day. I am still under 1100 calories. It has been so long since I ate too much that I forgot about the chest pain that goes along with that. Just a little tonight, but I wish I still didn't remember it.....

I worked out 5 days this week so I did a half a workout to day (my 5th day). I am feeling pretty good. The scale said that I gained a little today. That doesn't really happen too often, but lost like 2.5 lbs the day before so I expected a small rebound. I do worry about gaining and what that would do to my psyche. So far so good. I eat when I am hungry. I am not doing low carb, but I am not doing high carb either. I really watch it pretty close.

If I start looking for food I ask myself if my stomach is empty...if I am hungry. If not I don't eat. I get about 800 calories a day with maybe 2 days a week getting up to 1000-1100 calories. I know it doesn't sound like much...but I am being very careful. Protien first for every meal. I am addicted to cottage cheese. I know soft food, but I love it.

 

My favorite meals include:

1. my quick chicken salad (200 cal) and a side

2. 3 oz of turkey breast (I measure all my protein) 1/2c cottage cheese (4% - the good stuff) and 1/4 c peas Mixed all together. (350 calories)

3. 2 Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs cut up and 3 tblsp. of Great Value Brand hot dog chili sauce. ( 150 calories total)

4. Egg Beaters are a staple for my breakfast. Usually 3/4cup of southwestern. (90 calories)

(I have changed my breakfast to a morning star sausage patty and 1/4 cup egg beaters. I had to put in some solid protein to make it last until lunch! edited 12/31/08)

 

There are some of my favorites. I usually get 70-120 gms of protein a day and 30-50 gms of carbs a day.

 

I can't wait for my next fill. 3 weeks from today! :rolleyes2:

Hi Julie Ann. What is your quick chicken salad. I was banded at the end of May and I am still trying to get learn how to eat. I had that awful chest pain and wasn't sure what to do. It took hours for the chest pain to go away.

Are you ready for this. Take a can of canned chicken. I use Tyson that is 10 or 12 oz. Mix 3 tablespoon of miracle whip light and 3 tablespoon of sweet relish. I add garlic peper to taste. Mix and divide into 2 servings. That's it. It tastes better chilled I think. I have heard of some using greek yogert instead of miracle whip, but I can't find it to try it. Calories 212, Protein 24gms, Carbs 7, Fat 10. I usually eat a side of green giant single serve veggies with it.

I put my recipes into the website at www.sparkpeople.com and then spark recipes from there. It figures everything for me.
