Calorie countdown - what did you eat today? (Tuesday)

Breakfast - 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full fat) and 1/2 cup fresh pineapple Lunch - 1/3 can pinto beans (rinsed), 1 corn tortilla, 1 tsp shredded colby jack Snack - 1 piece of twilight delights dark chocolate Dinner - 1/3 of a 7oz filet mignon, 1/2c steamed broccoli and about 1/2 of a side salad shared with hubby Snack - grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte (sf and skim) Calories 951 Protein 62g Fiber 14g (eek) It wasn't the best day but I at least stayed under a thousand calories, which I've been crawling over for a few days.  I still can't shake the sweet tooth, but its getting a little better. 

ok I duno the calories but heres the food.  breakfast one egg white 1/2 pcs cheese lunch  1/2 cup turkey vegetable cream soup with 2 crackers 1/3 pcs of a 4 oz  schwans salmon filet and broccoli with a pad of butter snack  5 pretzels and about 1 tbs of seafood salad

Alright, here's my day... pre-workout snack: Peanut butter pudding (I make this myself and love it! I eat it every morning) After workout snack: fat free yogurt and 1 ounce of cashews lunch: salad (spinach, strawberries, walnuts and chicken with strawberry vinagrette - LOVE this recipe), plus a bag of bit size granola snacks snack: apple and atkins protein bar dinner: Weigh****chers Homestyle Chicken dinner (chicken and green beans) snack: atkins protein bar snack: 3 bags of Granola Bites (These are my weakness but they are the only thing I have found that keep me regular - ugh) Calories: 1972 fat: 88 grams carbs: 202 fiber: 38 protein: 107 It's about where I like to be - as long as I am below 2000 I tend to lose. A little high on fat but it was mostly good fat, so i don't worry about that. Most people would freak about the amount of  carbs but I prefer them high - with all the exercise I do I need them to be that way, otherwise my energy would be none existent. Now if I could just stop THINKING about food, I would be all set. Lord, has it been a struggle to not devour everything in front of me and then move on to more! Ugh, ugh and ugh.

Hi, PJ.  Can you post your recipe for the peanut butter pudding, along with the nutrition information (if you have it)?  Sounds tasty!  Thanks -  Kellie

It is very tasty - just enough of a peanut butter taste to make it oh so good. And it's nice and think so it doesn't slide through too fast. ingredients 1 3/4 skim milk 2 Tablespoons peanut butter (they call for reduced fat, i use the regular because I like the taste better) 1 small box sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix Blend the milk and peanut butter well. Add the pudding mix and blend until completely blended and nice and thick. Pour into 4 - 1/2 cup serving bowls and refrigerate. per serving calories: 112 Protein: 6g Carbs: 14g Fiber: 1g fat: 3g chol: 2mg sodium: 186mg This is the perfect snack for me for workouts and I never have a problem with my sugars when I eat it. Plus, I LOVE peanut butter and it gives me that quick fix. Hope you enjoy!

Wow, the veteran's do so well with protein, I can definitely learn from you ladies! 

You'll get there - it took me quite a few months before my protein was that high. When you can eat more it will just come naturally

Hey guys... what a great tool for others. Great idea, Dunny!!  I will hopefully be able to join in within the next 2 months... But this gives me a great insight on what to expect to be eating.... I also love that it is in all phases of WLS, from newbie's to veterans.... Thanks for sharing everyone.... Valerie
