what did you eat at a month out?
At one month I was on normal/regular foods except I cut out pasta, rice, potatoes (not completely) and breads (also not completely) from my daily diet. I went lean and mean and green basically. Still there with a bit of divergence now and then. I lose fairly steadily at a rate of 1.5-2 lbs a week except when I diverge. Then I stall immediately. It is very predictable. My body reacts instantly to a wrong bite. ****** me off but hey, this is what I signed up for! Gotta suck it up.
So back to your question. My good days look like this:
Breakfast: protein coffee or bariatric pantry oatmeal or eggs/turkey bacon combo
Snack: 2 oz cottage cheese or 1 oz cheese or 1 oz deli turkey slice or a couple of slices of an apple (more and I stall...) or an egg
Lunch: 2 oz meat, fish or chicken, or a crustless quiche or a protein rich soup, cooked any way you like it. I usually prefer grilled or pan seared and some veggies like broccoli, cauliflour, a small salad, zucchini, eggplant, kale, spinach etc...any steamed and lightly flavoured veggies really. If I do a salad I use olive oil and lemon juice for dressing. Chilli, noodleless lasagna, seafood, tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, all this can also be the protein part. As long as you aim for 20-25 grs protein per main meal and abt 10-15 for snacks.
Snack: greek yogurt with some veggies or berries depending on if you want sweet or salty
Dinner: same as lunch
Sometimes in the evening if I want to round out with something sweet I will have more apple or pear or berries or if I want salty I will crunch some sunflower seeds or almonds
Like I said, the above would be a good day.
Are you on my fitness pal? I highly recommend it. Lots of us are on there and you can look at our food diaries for great ideas. Also Elina has tons of great recipes in her profile. And there is cafe Frisco as well and the world according to eggface also excellent.
Best of luck!!!
