How'd ya do it?

For those of you who get in 80 to 100 grams of protein a day can you give me an example of your daily diet on the weight loss phase? I'm taking in 2 shakes a day at 21g each and eating my 3 meals and lucky if I make it to 70. Your insight would be very helpful!! Thanks to you all... You guys rock!!

I do 1.5 scoops for each shake as recommended by my NUT.

For me the heavy hitter was Greek Yogurt. 0% plain Chobani or Fage has 18 grams of protein in 6 oz. and 100 calories. I sweetened it with a packet of Stevia, Equal, whatever no-cal I had on hand and flavored it with SF Torani. I also always included a Premier shake because they're 30 grams of protein for 160 cals, so a great ratio. An example day:

B: Premier chocolate shake (160 c./30 p.)

S: 0% Fage w/ SF raspberry Torani and Equal, 2 diced fresh strawberries (125 c./ 18 p.)

L: Starkist Tuna Creations packet in the sweet and spicy flavor (90 c./ 16 p.)

S: Starbucks tall skinny peppermint mocha (100 c./ 10 p.)

D: 2 oz. grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli (75 c./ 12 p.)

S: 2% Cottage cheese w/ SF vanilla Torani, Equal and cinnamon (100 c./ 12 p.)

This is 650 calories and 98 grams of protein, pulled from a day around month 5. I've always tried to eat fairly balanced so note this also includes some vegetables, berries and dairy in addition to the straight protein.

In maintenance I don't eat all that differently from this, but I tend to drink coffee protein shakes now which have a little less protein and I eat closer to 3 oz. of meat at a sitting. I still eat 6x daily. 

Sorry for my ignorance. What is Torani? I am only nine days out and appreciate and cherish every drop of help you can give me.

I am using the Premier drinks and am able to get a good deal of my protein there. I'm not quite ready for the solids, but I SURE appreciate your sample day and willingness to help.

Torani is a flavoring syrup, available at most supermarkets. I buy it at my local Wal-Mart and they keep it in the coffee aisle there. There are lots of sugar-free versions in a ton of different flavors (calorie-free). Basically you can add it to any unflavored item, or even mix it in with vanilla protein shakes, etc. and it adds the corresponding flavor without the extra calories. I frequently use raspberry, vanilla and caramel in my yogurt, cottage cheese and shakes. 

Excellent idea, I never thought of that.......extracts will do the same.

YUMMY!! Thanks so much. I'll have to get some. Is it okay to use early out? I'm day 9, almost 10 now. Even if I can't use it now, I'll definitely use them soon. 

THANK YOU BUNCHES!!

Is Da Vinci similar? I have two or three different flavor a of that particular brand that I had purchased for one of my "many" diets!!   I  had no clue what Torani was .

Thanks for enlightening me . Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful Weekend...........Susie

Yup, DaVinci is the same thing, just a different brand. 

Thanks!!
