My appetite has sucked lately (no idea why). But also keep in mind, everyone has their own idea what works from calories to diet style. This is simply what works for me, it's not right or wrong. If you follow a low carb diet, my daily menu won't help you because I don't restrict carbs.

Breakfast (183 calories)

- Protein shake

lunch (322 calories)

- 1/4 cup chili mixed with 1 Tbsp cream cheese and 1/8 cup colby jack melted over the top.

- Dole apple cup with granola sprinkled on top

dinner (389 calories)

- salad with 1/4 cup cheese crumbles, 3 tbsp chick peas, 3oz diced ham, sprinkled with sunflower seed hearts, topped with 4 tbsp low fat Ranch dressing

snack (280 calories)

-medium non-fat caramel mocha

Total calories: 1174, total protein: 60g

I always start with a Protein Shake. Then sometimes a hot tea.

lunch can be anything or anytime. I have had Protein bars: Cliff, 20 gr. of protein. My dietitian told me these were better than what I was eating because they have more protein. Yesterday I had a late lunch early dinner. I went for Italian food. I had 2 pieces of the crust of bread with butter. 2 meatballs with whole wheat penne and Tomato sauce. Also, a bowl of iceberg lettuce no dressing. I ate some of the Pasta but both meatballs. My early bird came with vanilla ice cream and I had maybe 1/4 cup. Ice cream was one of my weakness.

Around 10pm I had a small piece of chicken breast and a few bites of baby back ribs and got stuck. It sucked!!!! My husband said I ate too fast and didn't chew enough, he was right.

Today I had my shake and will have deli turkey, no bread, for lunch. Dinner is a burger with cheese (4 oz), salad (around 1-2 hours before my dinner, when I am home) and green Beans.< /strong>

I also eat soy chips for Snacks and fruit. I drink iced and hot tea all day. I brew my own Decaf iced tea

I hope I helped you.

yesterday i had a Protein Shake for Breakfast. was going shopping and had a early start for the day. lunch was a avocado sandwich on 1 piece of bread. a tsp of lite mayo. dinner was homemade sloppy joe. i used bread one slice instead of a bun. since it was saturday i treat myself with popcorn that i pop myself in a pan. Sat. is a cheat day for me my Protein was 61.2 calories 1112. today for breakfast i had 3 eggs scrambled with siranchi chili and chives. like missy i don't restrict carbs. they are a good way for me to have real food and not just sliders 3 times a day. i will eat about 900 cal. today. fish for dinner with salad. Protein Drink at lunch.

Breakfast -- Greek yogurt with 1Tablespoon of Chia seeds. I love, love Chia seeds; they keep me "regular."

lunch -- 2 poached eggs with wilted spinach and Tomato slices on 1/2 toasted English muffin.

dinner -- Mexican shrimp cocktail (Shrimp in a cold tomato juice, with lime, chopped onion, cilantro, and chopped avocado), saltine crackers, and half a chile relleno. I was at a restaurant, and the cocktail was about 1-1/2 cups including liquid. I ate about half of it, maybe.

snack -- Chia seed pudding (chia seeds with Water, allowed to gel, with drops of English toffee stevia liquid sweetener). It's good, filling, has Fiber, Protein and lots of antioxidants.

In between, I drank 2 bottles of Water before breakfast, 1 before lunch, 1 before dinner, one before my pudding, and 1/2 of one right before bed. My early ones I drink plain. The later ones I add Dasani flavoring drops.

Just like the band fills everyone eats so differently Just try things out and see what works best for you. My doc says no shakes so I have oatmeal and bacon strip for breakfast, salad w/meat for lunch. meat and veggies for dinner. And Water, water all day long. Good luck.
