undie size and chix..
So i have 3 things to say...
1: i went down two sizes in underwear...Yah NSV!!!
2: If you ever go to Culvers they have a fantastic grilled chicken breast and its so good and tender and tasty. Today i had them put a slice of swiss cheese on it. I can't usually eat a whole breast but the last bit i had left will be eaten as a snack.
3: I am going to be getting in around 70 grams of protein today with only food. This is my oatmeal made with milk for breakfast...i ate 1/3 cup for 8 g. Lunch a 3 oz chicken breast with swiss cheese on it for 15 g with the cheese as 8 g. For dinner tonight i plan on eating a Turkey Burger with Seasonings and Cheese for 31 g & a small amt of spag. squash. and for snack i will eat some cottage cheese. This lands me about 75 g but i may not get all the turkey in although its a 3 oz burger. I just really need to up my water intake as it dawned on me that i am much more active actually working and moving and standing and bending for 8 hours a day which requires my body to need more water. I have not lost any weight for about 2 weeks now so i now know i can get my protein in, (if i think i am low in protein i have a protein shake at night), i am getting lots of movement in but i am low in my water intake..or not low but getting my basic requirement is all. Oh and my calories for the day..670. Need to lower my fat a bit..not sure how much fat i should be getting a day. I normally eat low fat cheese and i buy the 2% cottage cheese as there is not as much difference in the calories and such. And this is not necessarily a typical day..but for today i know i am getting in over my required 70 g.

well this isn't an everyday deal...but really i love chicken and turkey so i just really try to do them every couple days and i live off the left overs. so my family doesn't need to live off of chicken but i can. Also i will do things like make meatloaf or meatballs and i can live off that for a few days. lol i never was a left over person but now since surgery i am. Chicken and Turkey have a lot of protein in them so if you can manage to eat a couple oz of even deli turkey with some lo fat cheese every few days for lunch that will work. I eat a lot of lo fat cheese. It doesn't seem to bother me BM wise...so far. haha. I can't seem to like the greek yogurt. Its just to blah to me but i keep trying. Today i put some strawberries in a bowl with some splenda to sit and mix for a bit..i will try to add that after a bit to some Fage and see if i can eat that. Sadly i love yogurt but most even light yogurts have so much sugar and not a lot of protein. i did find some last night (target brand) that has only 9 g of sugar for a container and it was like 7 g of protein. would make a good snack.
anyways, good luck and let me know if you all come up with any high protein ideas.
