confused 4 Posted October 4, 2011 Also, does anyone here use Protein shots? Where do you buy them and how much do they cost? Thanks!! My husband drinks the shooters...I order them from supplementwarehouse.com, I believe the last time we ordered they were 23-25 dollars for the case...oh and don't order the orange they are nasty, so my husband says.

justmermp 6 Posted October 6, 2011 I was banded on 6/27 and am still learning so much about this topic. This website has been one of the BEST sources of information! It occurred to me while I'm in my last week of mushy foods that it would help to track my Protein intake along with checking fats, sugars, and calories. I created this template to help me on my new journey to make sure I eat the right amounts (and look back if I have trouble after a meal to see what exactly I ate that might have been the trouble) and so forth. Maybe some of you will enjoy using it also! Banded 6/27/07 - VG band, Dr. Jose Erbella and Dr. Gary Bunch, Manatee Memorial Hospital, Bradenton, FL. Hi there. I did it this same way until I found www.myfitnesspal.com. It's free and takes alot less time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justmermp 6 Posted October 6, 2011 How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 Protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 Protein, 1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein. Your thoughts, please? Breakfast is either oatmeal or 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios with 1/2 cup Fat Free Milk. On the weekends I have a couple scrambled eggs along with 2 pieces of turkey bacon. lunch is usually chicken and a salad. dinner is usually fish, seafood or chicken with veggies or a salad.< /p> Snacks: 15 Wheat Thins and 2 Wedges of Laughing Cow cheese or a Fudgesicle or Popsicle.

Cindy C 150 Posted October 15, 2011 I don't normally cook. I find it's easier and cheaper to go out, but last night I found myself in the kitchen looking for something for dinner. I took a boneless chicken breast out of the freezer and sliced it thinly. I dusted it with a little flour and garlic powder and browned it in some olive oil. I added some sauteed onion and home grown yellow, orange and red peppers, a can of Water chestnuts and some more garlic and simmered it in Sweet Baby Ray's teriyaki sauce/marinade with just a touch of honey and ginger. It was very good and made enough to last me for about 3 meals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
