18+months out.... What do you eat daily?

I was wondering for those of you who are at least 1 year out...

What do you eat/drink daily?

I am 18 months out and this is what I have most days.

Early I have a Click protein shake. They are so good and so damn addicting :)

Then for breakfast (right now and this changes every couple of weeks) I have a 1 whole egg and 1 egg white omelet with bell pepper, onion, jalapenos, and mushrooms.  A dab of sour cream and salsa on top.

For lunch I usually have a couple slices of turkey and a cheese stick or a slice of turkey and a slice of cheese in a mini thin with a dab of mayo. If I do not feel like either one of those, I have some pintos (I always cook a big pot of pinto beans the first of the week to have on hand when nothing else sounds good.  They are a good source of protein and I am spice them up the way I like them :)

For a snack I will have a cheese stick or 2 depending on how I feel.

For supper I almost always cook chicken breast. So I have about 3-4 oz of chicken and part of salad.Most of the time I cut the chicken up in the salad.   Or the chicken and a few bits of what ever veggie I make.

Sometimes I have a snack..sometimes not.  But that is my day pretty much EVERY SINGLE DAY

I eat 3 meals a day with 2 protein snacks.  Some days I can eat more, some days less.  Somedays the pouch feel like a bottomless pit..and other days..it feels like it cannot even hold an ounce of food. 

I too was just going to ask this question?

How MANY TIMES a day do you eat??

How MUCH do you eat at a time (ex. oz?)

Its crazy cause some days I feel like I can eat everything in sight while others it feels like nothing will fit unless I drink it.

I go through a phase where for about 2 weeks i'll do 3-4 shakes a day with a very small dinner and then for the next 1-2 weeks I do 1-2 shakes a day and then eat 2 small meals... While on some weekends I feel like I can eat everything...

I think my pouch is playing games with me or something... i dunno

Liz why are you only eating 1-2 meals a day?

I drink 5-6 shakes and eat probably 4 times at least.

I've been eating almost the same thing since just over a year out. I adjust my intake to compensate for my activity level. My meals have been and still are protein forward or protein only. My portions are about the same as when I was 18 months to two years out.

Breakfast is: yogurt and a piece of bacon or a couple scrambled eggs with melted cheese.

Snack is usually a cheese stick
Lunch is: cheese stick with ham or turkey wrapped around it
                 burger or cheese burger with no bun
                   grilled cheese sandwich or chicken breast and a few veggies.
afternoon snack: cheese stick or beef jerky

Dinner: whatever meat my family's eating - beef, chicken, pork, etc. and a few bites of veggies and once in a while a bite of roll or pasta.

98+ ounces of water daily, coffee, and sometimes a bite or two of chocolate.

Nuts to you!!  No, not that...have some nuts...Plain walnuts and almonds.  Just small amounts.  I usually have a teaspoon to a tablespoon of Wendy's Chili (with cheese) everyday.  Other things in no special order; crockpot stew (beef, vegetables, and spices), beef jerkey, plain peanutbutter, a small slice of banana, cooked spinach with salt, greek and regular yogurt, frozen shrimp...defrost for 20 seconds., tuna or egg salad (small amount of low fat mayo, sugar free pickle relish {Mt. Olive}, salt, pepper, and chopped celery), Healthy Choice Lemon Fish Dinner...

This one helped me early on for flavor...

 Im a little different .... 

  I start my day with   2 protein teas or coffees  with a scoop of   isopure (90 calories no carbs or fat )  protein in each ... 

then a breakfast -  generally  an egg white n fat free   cheese omelet  or some leftover dinner food ....

I LOVE   a  bIIIG  hreakfast ....

rice and beans  in SOME FORM  is my favorite  carb of the day ...  I eat several bowlfuls 


I make homemade chickpeas  in curry ... and fava beans ..   with regularity ..  also toasted  organic brown  rice ...  

lunch is  whatever I can grab on the run  at work ....  fat free  if i can get it .   Usually shrimp  ****tail  from the catering cart ....  some kind of low cal salad  ..

dinner  ?   if im still hungry   a very lightform of   protein - fat free cottage cheese perhaps  or a homemade   frozen  hoemgrown -spinach  spanakopita  made with fat free cottage , ricotta and feta cheeses .... ( and fillo  dough -  separated by   fatfree promise  ,  flaxseed meal  and butter buds ...  OH YEAH ! )   ...

ALWAYS red wine because its GOOD for Me     ( And my MOOD ) .

I have to say  .. I find WLS to WORK even  several years post ....  if I overeat fat  ( yes im human andyes i love buffets and weddings lol  ) ...  i seem to  well (  SH....T)   a LOT ofthe damage out ...  ( Thank God )   Im LOVING my svelte new shape andthe fact that it  STAYS   even when i am   shall we say - not so  vigilant with exercise ?! 

  I love eating high fiber , fresh and fat free  ... ( just for me )   and also  semi raw and semi vegetarian ....   for ME   it WORKS !! 

What kind of $2000/day modeling job has a catering truck.  If there is no craft services table, you are slumming.
