Please tell me what you eat?

[Mid West 99]

Could anyone who is about 2 - 3 months out tell me what they eat in a day?

I'm not looking for recipes but volume really so is it something like:

Breakfast: 1 egg

Lunch: Half cup chopped chicken (or other protein)

Dinner: Chicken and vegetable casserole/stir-fry etc

Do you snack in between, it so on what?

It would just be really helful for me to know what eating each day looks like with a fully functioning gastric by-pass/restricted pouch.

As previously posted, I have no restriction and I need to see how it should be.

Thank you if you have time. L x

Here's a sample:

Breakfast: 1 hardboiled egg and a couple strawberries/or a 1/3 cup oatmeal with Protein drink mixed in (which ends up making it more like 1/2 cup in volume)/or a Protein shake

Snack: 1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese/or rest of Protein Shake from Breakfast

Lunch: 1/3 cup tuna salad with 4-5 whole grain crackers, or leftover from dinner the night before but still only about 1/3 to 1/2 cup

Snack: 2oz low fat cheese/ or 1/4 cup nuts and a little dried fruit like apricots or raisins/or the rest of lunch if I couldn't finish it like when I get takeaway

Dinner: 3oz meat and a little veggies like 1-2Tb worth.

Snack: a glass of low fat milk, or some roasted sunflower/pumpkin seeds if I need something crunchy

This usually puts me between 800-1000 calories, 50-80 carbs, and 70-80 Protein. I eat every couple hours and in between I drink 16-24oz of Water.

You aren't getting enough Protein. Do you supplement? Makes me worry for you.

I'm Protein intolerant so it's more difficult for me. I did have some chicken yesterday that stayed down so that's a plus.

I bought a set of stainless steel measuring cups in Matalan ... The set consisted of 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup. They are invaluable.

I believe you can buy them in Kirklands.

Good luck

Breakfast: 2 oz.low fat string cheese.. Or 2 eggs. 4 oz. Yogurt

Lunch: 3 to 4 oz Protein...1/4 c. Veggies

Dinner: 3 to 4 oz. Protein, 1/4 c veggies...1 to 2 oz carbs, if I have room

Snack: I usually measure 1/2 c. Nuts to eat throughout the day

I also drink 2 Protein shakes as snack

64 to 80 oz Water or crystal light

The only carbs I eat are complex carbs like quinoa, sweet potatoes, etc.

I can't eat more than 1 to 1 1/2 at a time unless it's a slider food like yogurt or Soup., so I still supplement with protein in crystal light or Vitamin Water to make sure I get enough protein.

I get 800 to 900 calories a day, plus another 200 to 300 from protein supplements.

Per my dr and nutritionist, I don't eat sugar at all.

Philadelphia now makes 2x the protein cream cheese. It is great!
