yeaaahBEE 29 Posted July 14, 2016 How many meals are suppose to have in a day? I've been trying to get to 90g of Protein but I usually get about half or a little more. I usually do premiere Protein or triple zero yogurt for Breakfast, the tuna creations packet for lunch, and one of my ricotta bake recipes for dinner. Is it too much/not enough? I've been working out almost daily and wondering if this is effecting me as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted July 14, 2016 My plan is for 5-6 meals a day (3 hours in between). I would say you're not eating enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted July 14, 2016 My plan during weight loss mode called for 3 small meals per day, supplemented by Protein Shakes (no other snacks) to meet my Protein goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted July 14, 2016 I eat 5 or 6 times a day to get my Protein in. you might want to try eating Protein at your 3 meals, and having a couple Protein shakes in between. mid morning and mid afternoon. What does the nutritionist at your program say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yeaaahBEE 29 Posted July 14, 2016 3 meals a day high in Protein. I guess my problem is Breakfast, I tried scrambled eggs a while back and it didn't sit well with me. Hard boiled eggs didn't bother me as much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted July 14, 2016 you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. I don't, well I do rarely because it doesn't have enough Protein. Why not have a piece of fish, shrimp, grilled chicken, turkey etc for breakfast. I try to make sure I am eating at least 15 grams to 20 grams of Protein per meal Fish is a good way to get your protein in early on because it is soft and easy to digest.

SilentBotts 138 Posted July 14, 2016 My plan is to hit 50-60g of Protein a day. I just plan around that, not thinking too hard about amount of food or number of meals. I try to keep my food choices as calorie to Protein efficient as possible, but sometimes I'll have some Peanut Butter or cashews that are a little higher in calories. I was instructed to try and stick to regular meal times as a way to build good habits, and avoid grazing behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted July 14, 2016 It depends on your plan. Talk to your nutritionist. It seems like most people prefer to have several small meals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
