How do you know



Recommended Posts

For basic foods that don't have nutrition information on the packaging, you can probably Google.

Otherwise, the nutrition facts per serving should be listed on the packaging.

How do you know how much Protein you get from food? I made a scrambled egg and ate 3 bites.

If I don't finish a meal, I will weigh what is left that I didn't eat and only count the Protein I actually ate. I also use my fitness pal and it allows for half and quarter portions. It's not an exact acience, just try to get the best count you can.

My fitness pal has just about everything. You just have to guess what the size is. So 1 egg, split into 3 butes is maybe .25 an egg - just change the number to a fraction that reflects how much of something you ate. I also keep MFP at 900cal instead of 1000cal so I have room if I misjudge things here and there.

Agreed on My fitness pal. It gives the calories and Protein and other nutritional facts and you can adjust how much of a serving you ate to get a more accurate estimation

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
