Need some help with what & how much to eat



Recommended Posts

I'm 16 days out, and I'm very confused.

At this point I'm supposed to eat 2 meals of shakes and 1 soft meal for weeks 3 & 4.

The soft meal should be 3 oz containing 20 gms of Protein.< /p>

On day 15 I had tuna which was easy because 3 oz contains roughly 20 gms.

My guidebook had an example of a good meal ... 2 eggs with 1 slice of cheese, which equals 20 grams. But it came to 6 oz, so I only ate 1/2 of it.

What I dont understand is how to get 20 gms in only 3 oz.

Am I missing something here?

I started adding Beneprotein to my food n some drinks to increase the amt of Protein.< /p>

In those early phases I found it was easiest to use canned meats to get what I needed. You said about tuna, I also used the canned chicken, and underwood deviled ham were a couple good examples. Also Hormel Turkey chili was a good one. Good Luck.

My guidebook has some info that just doesn't add up, too. eggs actually count as full liquids on some menus. The idea is to get the Protein in, so the whole thing would be 18 grams, 6 for each egg and 6 for the cheese. East as much as comfortably fills you. The ultimate goal is retraining in handling "real" food, right?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
