My typical lunch bag.



Recommended Posts

This is what I typically pack for my workday.

My day usually starts off with a 2 egg omlet with half a serving of cheese (190 calories total)

The content of my lunch bag is

dannon light and fit yogurt (80 calories)

Premier Protein shake (160 calories)

single serving beef Jerky (100 calories)

4oz of turkey chili (120 calories) but can vary, morning star black bean burger or turkey or chicken breast

pickled egg (great snack) 70 calories

Many days I cant eat it all

when I get home I may or may not have a serving of some sort of dense Protein, depends of the day

this usually brings me well over 80+ grams of protein and keeps me satisfied all day long

@@Bob2013 you and I eat pretty identically, minus the turkey chili. I have a Quest bar probably twice a week when I don't have time to stop at home before a strength class. Good job on the loss!!

We make it. Usually use 3lbs lean Jenny-O ground turkey. The wife uses a mix of mccormick chili seasoning and I forgot the other one. 1 to 2 cans of red and kidney Beans, and a few other things. If anyone is interested I can get the wife to write out the recipe.

We make a pretty big pot once a month and I freeze about a dozen 4oz servings for use the following weeks.

I buy them. Most grocery stores carry them. Exact same nutrition as regular hard boiled eggs. I like them due to the convenience. I hate peeling eggs. Plus they are pretty awesome. I never had one til about 5 months ago. I even made some develed eggs out of them. Was pretty interesting.

Where in the store have you found the pickled eggs? I've never seen them in a store or maybe I missed them! My grandmother used to make them in huge jars for us, sadly no recipe was left when she passed :/

      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.
