What's on the menu today, RNY-ers?

You guys never fail to amaze me with your high protein, inventive and delicious menus!  Keep 'em coming!  

My menu today looks a lot like the last few weeks.  I am cycling through the same damn meals :)  Every morning I grab my breakfast and lunch from the fridge and toss something from the freezer into the fridge to defrost for dinner.  BUT, my goal is to find an awesome slow cooker recipe online today and make it this weekend :)

B: A Trader Joe's sweet pesto chicken sausage (170 calories, 20 g of protein)

L: Trader Joe's Argentinian red shrimp - frozen but defrost SO quickly in a bowl of cold water, and easy to pan saute!.  4 oz is 15 g of protein and only 70 calories!  I mixed them with less than a tbsp of pesto and a shake of parmesan cheese, plus my ever present red hot pepper flakes

S: Before the gym, I will eat a Trader Joe's light mild cheddar cheese stick (70 calories, 7 g of protein)

D: After the gym I will have a slice of turkey meatloaf that I pulled out of the freezer - made with 99% fat free ground turkey, grilled onions, a bit of bread crumbs, a tsp of mustard and ketchup, a bit of egg, and some shredded cheese.  The meatloaf made about 8 servings.  

I will end the day at 64 g of protein, 11 g of carbs, 30 g of fat, and 584 calories.  Not bad for a day where I exercise :)  Curious to see what's on your menus?

WOW - Kelly. It doesn't seem like you eat enough for being so far out on your journey. I think I eat more than you do at only 6 months. Hope all is well with you.

LOL, I was just thinking MAN--I can't believe I'll ever be able to eat that much!

Yikes - now I'm worried that eat too much!!!

You are doing AWESOME! If you are eating what is on your plan in the amounts of your plan, I would not worry! I am at about a heaped 1/3 cup at each meal. I try to get the 1/2 cup in...just not happening yet. But I'll get there. :)

Breakfast:  Protein shake

Lunch:  Chili

Snack  greek yogurt

Dinner is out there.  I usually have dinner at church on Wednesday nights, but tonights dinner is chicken pot pie.  While I love it,chicken pot pie it not that healthy especially the way they make it with biscuits.  I will have to pack a dinner to take with me.  Any suggestions. 

No exercise today as they had a two hour delay for school because of weather.  That is right in the middle of gym time. 

I just finished making a huge pot of vegetables, pork and chicken.

I took a bag of sweet mini peppers and did a mix of strips and rings with them. I used two Vidalia onions cut into rings and smiles and a package of cremini mushrooms. I sauteed them until the onions were translucent. I then increased the heat and as the moisture evaporated I added a strong sprinkle of pretzel salt and stirred as the mushrooms and onions caramelized.  Once they were nearly done I added cubed pieces of dry rubbed pork tenderloin (raw) and some left over balsamic chicken and reduced the heat as the meat cooked. 

It is in a large covered dutch oven on the stove top and my son will eat from it all day.  I will pick out 1/3 cup of the meat and then put that in a 1/2 cup measure and put the rest of the measure in with the vegetables and see if I can get the 1/2 cup in today. My guess is that it will be lunch and PM snack. :)

My minimum protein is 80g, but I am averaging 100g for the last 30 days. My max calories are 800, but I am edging up to be closer to 700 on a regular basis. My nutritionist really wants me at 700 every day, just hard to get all that food in. 

Oh, forgot to add that I put 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger in it, too!
