Whatcha eating today? Friday, 10/21/2016

I love gyro meat.  And tzatziki sauce.  YUM.  

Hi gang,

B egg mcmuffin 

L cottage cheese,  baby carrots and orange pepper 

D pork loin and sliced carrots 

S Greek yogurt,  apple and turkey sausage snack sticks 

W ahead of schedule since i was up early

V on track 

E either walking if it warms up or walk away the pounds dvd

Have a good day

B: Light N Fit Greek Yogurt

L: Leftover chicken & veggie stir fry

S: Turkey Jerky

D: Well now I want a gyro, so maybe a gyro salad :)

Water: on track

Vitamins: Work in progress

Exercise: 30 minute walk this morning, may do more later but today is my "off" day

I'll bite. I usually don't post my meals cuz for 1 they're boring & pretty much the same, plus I don't plan ahead of time. I have a good idea what I'll eat, but it'll likely change by the end of the day. So far it's looking like:

Breakfast eggs, cheese & bacon, b4 that is an orgain protein shake

Lunch Amylu chicken burger with quest protein bar/chips

Dinner Quest protein shake/tuna packet & Jarlsberg cheese

Snack skinny cow truffle bar, powdered pb

Water on track

Vitamins on track

Exercise sadly is on the back burner & its bugging the hell out of me, but I'm still recovering from my injuries. 

I pretty much never know what I'm eating until I type my post here.  I use it as my way to think about the day and what I've got in the fridge!  (But I do meal plan dinners a week in advance, so I can grocery shop and cook.)  

Struggling with food a bit today. I looked so forward to week 7 because if the food additions. Now, I am finding that the addition of dense protein is creating more issues than I imagined it would. But here is the plan

B - Hard boiled egg

S- Coffee w/ 1/2 Muscle Milk

L - Leftover Ground chuck patty w/a little low fat cheese

S - Hard boiled egg

D - Tuna/egg salad

S - Sugar free hot chocolate w/ 12 Muscle Milk

Is that too much? I am welcome to suggestions if so.

My plan is 3 meals a day with no snacks, so this would be a lot of food for me at 7 weeks post-op.  I know what you mean about food additions, though, you never know how your body is going to react to a newly added food.  Lots of people have issues with eggs immediately post-op, but I never did, thank goodness :)  

If this is within your plan, and you're weighing portions, I'm sure it's okay.  I, personally, wouldn't do low-fat cheese, since fat is important in our diets.  

My plan is 3 meals with 3 snacks. I never finish any of it except the protein drinks which take me about an hour to drink.

So like when I say ground chuck patty with cheese I probably get like 2 ounces. I can pretty much finish an egg. But that is my max. LOL.

I don't understand the low fat cheese either but the NUT is very, very strict about low fat cheese and milk. The plan is spelled out very specifically until 9 weeks.  I am trying hard to follow it and trust it :-). This week has been hard since I only lost like 6 ounces.

Thanks!

B: Protein Bar (on the run and needed fast)

L: meat from a subway sandwich with spinach

D: Quinoa, Chicken and Squash "something"

S: Grapes, mozzarella & possibly protein granola

W & V: on track

E: walking and possibly 20 miles on recumbent bike tonight

B:  1/2 sesame bagel, cored, toasted peanut butter (it was underwhelming)

L:  soup and 1/2 of a 1/2 sandwich (out) - corn bisque and chicken, avocado bacon on lettuce wrap

D:  leftovers (probably from lunch)

my stomach is not liking that lunch, maybe the bisque was too rich... ughhhhhh

E:  rainy here so a short walk

L/V:  yup
