How much of Atkins Meals?



Recommended Posts

How much of an Atkins meal can you eat? I am 9 weeks out on this Wednesday and i just ate a chicken & Brocolli meal. I ate a bit more then 1/2. A feel like i could have ate the whole thing but stoped because my mind said thats too much.

Just wondering how much of these kinds of meals can you eat in one sitting? Maybe i ate too much.

At 18 months post op, I can eat a whole Atkins meal. My personal favorite is the steak and broccoli with gravy. Yummy. Be careful when choosing the frozen meals, though, some of them are pretty high in sodium and msg. MSG and I are not friends. :)

Where do you find the Atkins meals?

I found them at Walmart with the other frozen Entrees. A "whole" Atkins meal is about 6-8 ounces of food, so it's about the perfect size for a meal for me.

I'm curious too... I'm 10 weeks out and feel like I can eat more than I should...

Darn it, I couldn't find them at my Walmart...I have been wanting to give them a try. I do like the Lean Cuisine beef tenderloins with broccoli, the one meal they have without noodles, rice or potatoes! How do the Atkins meals taste??

I am 7 1/2 months out and I can eat a half or little more usually.

I can only eat 1/3 at 8 weeks out. My husband eats the rest (2/3), and is also 8 weeks out.

The Atkins meals are good if you have issues with Portion Control. Honestly though, if you're sticking to a high Protein, low carb diet, eating the whole thing is not a deal breaker. I did Atkins years ago and I ate until I was full of meat and veggies. No more than 20g of carbs per day... Just so you don't feel so bad :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
