NervousAly 5 Posted March 25, 2017 It's been 2 months since surgery and I am by now on a regular diet with no restrictions. I am still having a hard time fulfilling my Protein requirements without adding powder or a shake. What do you eat in a day ? Need ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted March 25, 2017 I eat 7 times per day, about 2 hours apart. And I eat the same thing every day. Meal #1: 1 scrambled egg with 1/2 piece of American cheese and 2 oz of chicken or pork loin (scrambled in the egg) Meal #2: 4 oz cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves Meal #3: 2 oz salmon or chicken, 1 string cheese, 10 ParmCrisps Meal #4: 3 oz chicken, 1 oz green Beans, 5 ParmCrisps Meal #5: 2 oz hamburger steak (90% lean), 1 oz green beans, 5 ParmCrisps Meal #6: 3 oz salmon, 1 oz green beans, 5 ParmCrisps Meal #7: 4 oz cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves I drink 32 oz of Water after Meal #1 and Meal #2, 16 os of water after Meal #3, Meal #6, and Meal #7. I always allow 30 minutes after eating before I drink and at least 30 minutes after drinking before I eat again. (It is almost never time to eat again 30 minutes after finishing the water, so that is never an issue.) This comes out to 1000-1100 calories, 20 carbs, and 110-130 grams of Protein depending on the day. The only time I ever have to have Protein Shakes is if I am traveling for work. And even then, I usually only have to have 1 since I can't drag food around with me everywhere I go. Good luck! 3 redfire_angel75, _Kate_ and Navigating the Wilderness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
