COSTCO Rocks!!!

[BeachBabe 0]

I just went to costco today and felt that I had died and gone to bariatric heaven. I picked up the following for my boring high protien diet..........

chicken Chipolte patties (just eat with cheese and salsa)

Turkey Meatloaf in marinara sauce

Chicken Spice Skewers

Shrimp in a lime/garlic/cilantro marinade

Chioban Greek Yogurt in a case

Pork in Verde Sauce (only 160 calories and 27 G of Protein for 5oz!!)

Blueberries

I feel so good and like I can make it without cheating again! Yummy high protein food.< /p>

Wow all of that sounds really yummy! I'm gonna have to find some money and head over to Costco!

Yeah....Costco is the bidness!!

I'm gonna have to check out more high Protein options when I go back.

I just bought the big bag of frozen shrimp from them and a case of Diet Snapple tea.

You also forgot the PREMIER brand chocolate Protein shakes. 30g Protein, 1 g sugar, something like 160-180 calories. It runs around $24 for 18. I am 1 week Post Op and I like it along w/ the EAS Myoplex chocolate shake too ( also sold there ).

Yes Coscto is awesome! I went yesterday just to get my yummy premier shakes and left with a cart full of goodies. I like to get my Soup there too.. by the deli section, they sell my fav Panera bread Co. Broc&Cheese soup. =)

Their food is awesome! Is there much sugar in the prepared food? I haven't checked it out. I will be that way on Sunday. Yes i would like to pick up some Protein Shakes too. Great to know! What's for Breakfast? Did you find anything?

We don't have a costco where I live now, but I did enjoy shopping there when I lived in NY.

How are the prices compared to Sams?

Sugar is something I have to pay close attention to since my boyfriend is a diabetic. I am finding with most prepared foods there will always be sugar but as long as we stay at 10 grams or less per serving his blood sugar isn't really affected.

I normally don't eat breakfast so for me breakfast is my Protein Drink, but I hear egg beaters are suppose to be really good for you.. Haven't tried them yet but I want too.

I also have a Sam's card as well as costco and I really haven't noticed a difference in price. We just also go to costco more cause its closer and I think they have a better selection of fresh foods and meats.

Oh yeah theuy also have Shrimp Scampi that you can eat without adding it to Pasta and Tilapia fillets in a citris garlic pesto marinade. Most of the things do noy have too much sugar and are low in calories. It adds some zest to the usual boring options we have in order to stay on target.

That's where we do most all our shopping. They have good produce, and I love the frozen cod. They have many organic and all natural foods. We also get our chicken and ground turkey there.

I have done a lot of my shopping there for a long time I make chicken Parmesan with their Foster Farms chicken strips. I put spagetti sauce in a baking dish add the chicken and more sauce bake it and add Mozzarella cheese at the end. It's delicious and very low fat, etc. I also only eat whole wheat Pasta. They also have great frozen salmon pieces which are great as they are all individually wrapped. I don't drink Protein Drinks as I get plenty of Protein in my diet. They sell Fiber One bars there which are much cheaper than the stores.

I made their turkey meatloaf for dinner tonight and my whole family ate it and loved it. I was happy to not make 2 meals for the family (one for me and one for them). I had 4 oz and it only had 200 calories and I am really full.
