Lunch 2oz. tuna. 2oz. of cottage cheese. Dinner = 2oz. ground turkey 2 0z cauliflower ( Can't always eat the veg.) 2 snacks per day. maybe a babybell cheese or 2-3 oz of Greek yogurt. I am suppose to do interval eating and eat every 3 hours. I have been in a stall since December 4th!!!

Exactly ONE YEAR from surgery 

I try to eat 800 calories a day. Some days less; some days more.  One meal is a protein shake. Minimum of 64 ounces of water.

Lunch is usually something I've made in bulk in the crockpot and then frozen in individual servings - pot roast, pork chili verde, chicken salsa - or Bumblebee tuna sensations.  Greek yogurt is my afternoon snack.  Dinner is often chicken sausage or some other protein with some vegetables.
