Great Food Finds



Recommended Posts

My newest find is Gorton's Grilled Tilapia fillets, in the freezer section. They are really good and only take three and a half minutes in the microwave. One box has two fillets and one portion is 4 oz., perfect for bandsters! They have garlic butter flavor and their signature flavor with a little more spice, they are both really good with some veggies for a quick lunch. I've tried their regular grilled fish, but the tilapia has a better flavor...

One fillet:80 calories, 2.5 g fat, 14 g Protein, less than 1 g carb

I love them. So easy and taste great. I take them to work and wrap um up in wax paper and nuk um. Fast and good. I also like the Special K crackers I mix white flake tuna with mustard instead of mayo and put it on the crackers. I know it doesn't sound good but it really is.

Cosco food Warehouse sells breaded tilapia in the frozen section...I think the brand is Trident and I have used it but I do not own a microwave...so I would not know how to explain.

Kelloggs Special K Multi-Grain Crackers .... 17 have 90 calories, 2 grams of Protein, 16 net grams of carbs (or one carb exchange if you're still operating on a diabetic exchange mindset). Crunchy. When I want a carb, I can have my whole grain carb, my crunch, and they taste really good. There is another flavor with Tomato and basil -- same stats, but I don't like them as much.

These are fairly new on the market.

These crackers are great! I found them about 3 or 4 days before Thanksgiving because I was determined to have a cracker to dip my favorite pate. I hope not to go overboard in eating them though because I love crackers.

I like to have a shake for Breakfast and it was hard for me to find a good Protein shake that didnt taste so bad this one is AWESOME

chocolate Peanut Butter Shake:

1/2 c skim milk, 1 c ice, 1 scoop of vanilla Protein powder, 1 pack of swiss miss chocolate ( I used diet or sugar free), 3 packs of splenda and BLEND

It is so good that my husband wants that over a regular milk shake!

Hi again everyone. I am now able to eat solids, but they must be all Proteins ( kinda like the pre-surgery diet), so all my meals are basically meat or eggs and I do use some grated parmesan or cheddar for some flavor. But that's not what I wanted to share with all of you. What I wanted to tell you about is a canned "Brookdale" white meat chicken breast (chucks) that I found at Aldi's. It is very tasty and sprinkled with some grated parmesan and popped in the microwave for about 30 seconds it tastes great. Best of all it is packed in some nice broth so it is pretty moist and easy to digest. It is 98% fat free, 50 calories per serving, with 1 gram of Carbs, and 10 grams Protein, and it only costs $1.65 for a 9.75 oz can.

Trader Joe's has a line of chicken & turkey sausages that range from 17-21 grams of protien...

I'm eatting the Sweet Basil Pesto ck & turkey sausage today: 1 link is 170 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1 gram of carb, 21 grams of protien.

They are great. I also bought the chicken mango sausages but I haven't opened them up yet.

I figure if I drink a shake & eat a link I'll have eatten about 40 grams of protien. The rest comes throughout the day & I don't have to stress if I got them all in.

Enjoy

My Trader Joes has low fat franks that are 80 calories, and 1 gram if any of fat..and have beef and soy in them for Protein...the brand is Hebrew National and if I had a package on hand I would give you the Protein number.

Trade Joes brand of fake meatballs and fake chicken nuggets are beyond delious.

Do you use any shakes or other products from that store that you could recomend?

The first month..i used their veggie broth, and I hated their whey shakes.< /p>

      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.
