Take baby steps. I cook 2-3 times per week and eat leftovers on the other days. Then I freeze individual food for later. Yesterday, I put a package of chicken breasts in a pan with 2 boxes of chicken stock. I cut up 4 carrots and an onion. I have been eating it for 2 days. Earlier, I bought a small chili at a bar with some friends. I used it to flavor my tofu, and eat it by itself for 3 days. One of the most important ways to lose weight is to cook. Usually once every couple of weeks, I pull out a cookbook and buy ingredients for something new. I started doing this a couple of years ago. I was still eating fast food 1-2 times a week. I haven't had fast food for about 3 months before surgery. Good Luck.

Topic: RE: Costco now has Premier Protein Bars

Won't be buying them anymore. Just looked at the label, 300 calories, 30 g of protein and 22 carbs. I'll use them for exercising, but too many carbs to be used as a snack.

Topic: RE: PB2

I found mine at Kroger with the health food stuff. I did see powdered Jiff with the peanut butter but I don't know how it compare to PB2

Topic: Costco now has Premier Protein Bars

They are in the trunk of my car, but if I remember correctly, they have 30 grams of protein. I tasted the mint bar in the store and it was delicious. Bars are a trigger for me, so I keep them in the car in case I don't have any good food choices and need something to eat. In the summer I can use the protein drinks but for the colder weather, I don't want to worry about the shakes freezing. It's nice to have reinforcements in the car.

Topic: RE: Becoming savvy about the amount of protein you have??

I've been logging everything I eat in MyFitnessPal for almost a year now and plan to continue as long as I need to, for the rest of my life if necessary. My protein goal right now is 53g, but I usually get 80-120.

Topic: RE: Weigh****chers

hi there,

have you had surgery already. or are you in the insurance phase. Once you have a scale and get in the habit of weighting and measuring it takes no time at all. and honestly for the first 6 months it is so little food does not take long to prepare.

I cannot tell you what a huge difference exercise has made for me.

you should post again and let people know if you had surgery and what a daily meal plan looks like and then people will know what to suggest.

have a great day,

RNY best thing i ever did for myself
