mataz78 36 Posted July 27, 2015 I'm still early preop but I've been pinning recipes on pinterest life crazy for future use. I know I won't be doing 3 Protein Shakes forever. I am curious what a meal plan with 80 g looks like. Seems like you'd have to always have at least one Protein shake per day to come close since our quantity of food is so little.

Beachsprite 118 Posted July 27, 2015 I was actually looking up this exact same question I was hoping to find piture examples of a days food with 80gm of Protein. Hope someone answers for you and me lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendyfm 494 Posted July 27, 2015 I actually get between 60 and seventy. So here goes, Breakfast I have cheese or Peanut Butter on an English, for about ten grams. lunch is greek yogurt for 12 or tuna for around fifteen or leftover Protein from the night before for up to twenty grams supper is usually, pork or chicken for around twenty grams. I then have two protein Snacks to make it up to at least sixty. That's one between lunch and supper and the other after supper before bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted July 27, 2015 Breakfast I am getting anywhere from 10-20g depending on if I eat food or do a Protein shake. Most morning I do a Isopure Protein shake/fiber mix that is around 15 to 20g of protein in it. For lunch I tend to eat pre-made microwavable dinners. Today for lunch I had a Stouffer's Fit Kitchen dinner that has about 27g of protein in it at only 410 calories. If I snack its usually with something like a pure protein or life choice bar meal bar. Those are usually in the 20g range when it comes to protein. So before I make it to dinner I'm usually at or really close to what I need to meet as a minimum daily intake of protein.Some days are indeed easier than others to get everything in. And I do notice when I have met my intake requirements for a few days versus when I don't. My muscles aren't as weak feeling when I am meeting the protein intake. I am still in the process of learning my stomach all over again. Some days some foods work without any issues and then I can come back a few days for weeks later, eat the same thing and my stomach revolts it like the black plague. I guess this is the life of a bariatric person. A diva tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikrchk 1,313 Posted July 28, 2015 Breakfast: 1 egg with a slice of cheese - 10g At the office: Protein "latte" (coffee with vanilla Protein powder) - 20g Mid morning _ Mozarella stick - 6 Lunch: Panera bread - strawberry Poppy Seed chicken salad - Half Size, 8.75 oz - 15g After lunch - PowerCrunch protein cookie - 13 dinner - chicken thigh - 19 The above adds up to 83g of protein and 840 calories. I usually eat more these days up to 1300 calories. I might add part of the bread\butter that comes with the salad or a spoon full of veggies or potatoes with the chicken for dinner as I'm in maintenance and exercise regularly, but the above is a typical "base menu" for me even today. Successfully maintaining about a 90 pound loss for over 1 year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
