No Real Break Between Meals - I Eat Slowly

[Catracks 865]

I eat so slow that I pretty much eat throughout the day. It's not like grazing because I pack my lunch in a little bento box. I have 2 oz of cottage cheese, 3 oz of meat and/or cheese, sunflower seed crackers, 2 oz of fruit and maybe a Greek yogurt dip. It seems to keep me busy at work until it's time to go home.

On the weekends I'm so busy that I usually have to remind myself to eat and then grab a quick meal. Is eating through the day unhealthy in the long run?

I'm having to do the same thing and still am not getting all my Protein or fluids in. I am almost 8 weeks out and STILL can only do 3 or 4 bites before I'm full. And seems the further I'm out from my surgery, I can't tolerate the shakes because they are so flippin sweet. My weight loss is doing great (down 41lbs so far) but I'm so tired and weak because I'm not getting enough Protein and fluids in.

*sigh* I'm getting frustrated lol

I only get full fast on the very dense Proteins. I'm getting most of what I need in. I never thought I could thrive on 600-800 calories at day.

Try Greek yogurt, ahi tuna, shrimp, salmon, hummus and other Protein dense food. I use Chobani for flavored yogurt and Fage for salad dressing and dips.

Dip your meat and vegetables in Greek yogurt mixed with whatever flavorings you want - herbs, spices, blue cheese, avocado, caramelized onions, sun dried Tomato, roasted red peppers, etc.

I eat a lot of cheese too. It's high calorie, but at the amount I eat, WTH cares?
