Cheesy Tuna

Ingredients:

1 small can of tuna in Water, drained well

1 Tbsp. sour cream

2 Tbsp. milk

1/4 cup shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)

Put milk, sour cream, and shredded cheese in a small microwavable bowl and microwave for about 1 to 1&1/2 minutes. Stir until creamy. If it's too thick add a splash more milk, if it's too thin add a little more cheese. Mix in tuna well and enjoy!

You could also add some dry seasonings or spices to it if you want, but I like it plain.

I'm not much of a tuna eater (don't really like any type of seafood) but I think I'll give this a try! I have a can of chicken in the cupboard, think I'll try it out with chicken until I get to the store for tuna. Thanks for sharing the recipe Georgia Girl!

I started a Atkins type diet last weekend but I'm not really doing the induction phase. I'm still trying to pick leaner cuts of Protein but if I want cheese, I eat it or if I want mayo, I use it. I am anxious to see my weight on Tuesday since I officially weigh in every Tuesday morning. Even eating all the fat I want, I still can't get in many calories

Jan 21st 666 calories, 40 g fat, 14 g carbs, 62 g Protein

Jan 22nd 978 calories, 50 g fat, 6 g carbs, 119 g protein

Jan 23rd 782 calories, 36 g fat, 15 g carbs, 95 g protein

Jan 24th 740 calories, 42 g fat, 15 g carbs, 76 g protein

Congrats on your success ... 159 lbs! That is awesome! :rolleyes2:

Thanks for figuring the full fat version. I was watching fat, but now that I am doing Atkins I am not. Just using up what I have before buying more. Is that for the whole can of tuna? ?? I only ate 1/2 at lunch and was VERY full!!

Thanks Bloo. Trust me, my stomach is still there, just less of it. I must say, I was very surprised when I saw the picture. It really feels good to actually be able to see a difference.

that is for a whole can. i havent had tuna in awhile, so not sure how much i can eat... i like the idea of maybe canned chicken too... ok, getting the head hunger now ... i had hot dogs for lunch... under 2 carbs, but oh dear the sodium... gotta keep the Water intake high or the scale is going to scream at me tomorrow.

and btw - i cant see the stomach, but i know how you feel...

Ok, I figured my totals for the week to see if I am really taking in more carbs than I thought. Losing, you are right, that caramel macchiato had a lot of carbs. Thankfully I had very few carbs otherwise that day, so I was still under 20. I think my diet is ok. I certainly welcome any suggestions.

Here are my totals.

Monday

756 cal

40.3

Losing, it's okay........sorry it got stuck and came back up.

Okay here's what I had today:

B-low carb slim fast

L-1 crab snack stick

D-2 oz. baked tilapia

Right now I'm drinking a cup of coffee with splenda and heavy cream in it. I don't know why, but I've been craving coffee all day!

Losing

I found these crab Snacks at my local Winn Dixie. It's made by Lois Kemp Seafood Company and their called Crab Snack Delights. It comes with 5 "peel and go" crab sticks. They're actually pretty big, and let me tell you........one of these Snacks fills me up for a while. It's hard for me to get a whole one down, I'm not sure if it's the consistency of the meat or what. It has 35 cal., 0g fat, 5g carbs, and 4g Protein per stick. I was expecting the Protein to be higher, not sure why it's not, but it's a good low calorie snack. It's made with crab and other seafood meats and it's fully cooked and ready to eat. I think it cost $2.99 per pack.

Here's what I had today

B - Atkin's shake, vanilla

L - 1/2 cheesy tuna (YUMMY)

D - 2 scrambled eggs

S - 1 sf popsicle

431 Cal

21.35 fat

14.2 carbs

9.2 net carbs

46.85 Protein

I have the munchies big time tonight. I ate a pork rind, but they don't seem to agree with me very well since I got banded. Bummer.... I may not have eaten enough calories today. I am really fighting night hunger.

Ok, I need opinions. I am going to my best friends house tommorow for a pampered chef party. Do I eat the food in very small portions, or do I not eat anything at all at the party.. My friend will not be offended if I don't eat. I just hate to draw attention to myself, and I'm sure it will be really good food that I will want to eat. I just figure I need to have a plan before I go. Even if I eat some. What would yall do?????

I'd eat just a little so like you said, not to draw attention to yourself ... just choose items you know are full of Protein and (try) to stay away from everything else :hurray:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
