Soft food stage...help

[FabFemale 233]

I'm starting the soft food stage tomorrow. I'd love to hear some of your favorite recipes. I know about egg face website and plan to look there for inspiration.

Also, should I be eating 3 meals a day? Snacks? Continue with my Protein Shakes?

I've been getting in 65-100 g of Protein so far. Afraid that without the skates I'll have some trouble.

I'm still working on getting in 64 oz of liquids.

Thanks!

If you're hitting your doctor's targets for Protein and calories, then continue to eat the snacks/shakes as long as it is working for you. It's not an issue how often you eat as long as you're getting what you need - 3 meals or 6 little ones - it's all good.

I loved Kroger's carbmaster line of yogurts both as a meal and snack. I think they are 60 calories, 9 grams of Protein and 4 carbs and they had lots of flavors.

I have Mootopia milk but it's only available from HEB grocery stores in Texas I think, but Fairlife milk is pretty much the same thing. They reduce the sugar/lactose/carbs and increase the protein and it tastes great. This is great when you need a quick snack.

As far as things to eat in the soft food stage, I loved refried Beans with a bit of greek yogurt (plain tastes like sour cream but has more protein) or a little shredded cheese. Cottage cheese, soft baked fish (I baked it with lemon/butter and some spices), tuna fish with a bit of mayo also were my go-to meals.
