THIS WELL HELP EVERYONE-pls respond!!!
I'm 8 months out today - 114 pounds down (including 20 lbs pre-op).
I track my food on MyFitnessPal and with the iPad app it will show my weekly totals. I have not gone over an average of 800 per day (yet) in any week. If I eat more than 800 calories for a day or two, I'll cut back before the week is up to average under 800.
Carbs under 40 g. Protein between 80 - 100 g.
Water 80 oz a day +
I eat 6 planned meals each day -- pre-planned so I always know what I'm eating and less tempted to go stand in front of the fridge
Typical day:
Meal #1
1 cup caffeinated coffee with half-and-half (the full fat version....my one indulgence)
1 cup coffee with Syntrax Chocolate Truffle protein powder
Meal #2
Egg w/2 T. low fat mexican blend cheese & salsa
Meal #3
Honey Baked Ham smoked turkey (2.5 oz) w/2 T. melted mozzarella
1/2 c. veggies -- usually steamed zucchini, carrots, broccoli or small salad with 2 T. dressing (1c. Fage 0% Greek yogurt + 1c. salsa)
Meal #4
2 turkey sauasge links w/ spicy brown mustard or reduced sugar ketchup
Meal # 5
1/2 c. Fage 0% greek yogurt w/Torani sugar free syrup, various flavors (my kitchen counter looks like a coffee shop with at least 10 different bottles)
Meal #6
Turkey pepperoni w/sugar free pickles
I find that pre-planning and tracking my food keeps me on track.
