2 week lean protein diet question?



Recommended Posts

So I'm on day 8 of my 2wk lean diet and I'm only supposed to have 3oz of Protein however I know that on a few days (like today), I had more than 3oz. I've always heard that you can never have too much protein (as far a meat) is that true? Should I be worried?

What kind of diet have they got you on. I've not heard of such a low protein diet. That is one thing you should be allowed to have, but I'm not your doctor or nurtionalist. I know when I had the band I was allowed at least 60 grams of protein, 64 oz. Water, and a smart one tv dinner or one that is higher in protein and very few carbs. Pretty sure when I get bypass it will definitely be similar, as their shrink brought it up that I should go on it a couple of weeks before surgery, haven't talked with the doctor, that will come on 5/30 after he removes the band. So my answer would be "no" as long as it is lean, grilled, broiled or baked.

Its a 5 meal diet, 3 Protein Shakes and 2 meals. For the meals I can have either lean cuisine, healthy choice, etc. But those meals must have @ least 14g of protein and 300 cals or less. If I cook I can only have 3oz of protein, plus veggies.

Okay, now I got it. Don't know how many grams of Protein Shakes are, but just my Protein Powder is 20 grams, so I would drink three or four then one lean cuisine, etc same as you. If you cook your own, then in looking at my book giving me the grams of different foods and restaurant foods, the grams very on what type of meat you are eating. Steak (any kind) cooked 3 oz (which is 4 ozs raw) is 23 grams of Protein, chicken breast roasted 4 oz is 36 grams (no skin). One website you can check is www.CalorieKing.com. I happened to have purchased the book so I can carry it. I use it to count carbs as have to calculate insulin to give myself on my carb intake. Once I have bypass then definitely will use it for protein counting even though I pretty much do that now because of my band. Really don't think if you go over your protein it will matter. Also you might do a search on this forum for "Protein".

      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?

      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.
