Ok Girl...lay it all out step by step for us... lol I want to succeed like all the rest...and I am sure most of us do on this site. PWEEEZE!! I use myfitnesspal.com to keep track of my diet and food diary. My diary is public so you can see all the nitty gritty details on their if you use it and want to be my friend I haven't been as diligent lately but you can certainly go back through the weeks/months to see what I've been doing. Generally though, I do have coffee, at least one cup a day, the caffeine deprived headaches were super painful and I hate taking pills so I figured one/two cups of caffeine wouldn't kill me... I start with coffee... I have a Protein shake most mornings or for a morning snack... I love low-fat cheese (string cheese, bonibels, fresh mozzarella) - so that's a super easy snack. I boil a lot of eggs and snack on egg whites or make an egg-white salad with a little mustard, salt and pepper (i tend to stay away from mayo, mostly). I love those individual tuna packets!! They're soooooo good and so easy to handle. I toss a teaspoon of a deelish aioli mustard from Trader Joe's and I'm happy as can be. Trader Joe's does have this incredible low card, low calorie, high Fiber tortilla - if you allow yourself any carbs, this is the way to go! The net carbs are only like 4g a serving, only 45 calories - They're incredible and pretty much the only bread-like product in my diet. The rest of my carbs come from dairy, yogurts, etc. I cook a lot of chicken, get tips from bariatric sites for all different kinds of meals that don't require breading, oils, bad fats... I do lots of low-sodium cold cuts - rolled with low-fat cheese, wrapped in lettuce, or one of the aforementioned apps.... sugar free popsicles, no-sugar-added fudge pops, greek yogurt pops, vita-cakes... all good sweet, snack options. Target has a simply balanced line of duets - these greek yogurt blends - they're delicious, under 100 calories and a nice source of Protein.< /p> Hmmm... The last few days on myfitnesspal have been HORRIBLE because of work stress and being poorly prepared so if you do find me on there, don't judge me! haha But feel free to look through some of my better days and reach out with questions Thanks everyone!
