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.

Another wife question what type or brand of containers do you freeze the chili in?

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 :/

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
