What's on the menu today, RNY-ers?
Hi all!
Im watching the Grammy pre-show on E and thinking about if/when I can wear gorgeous dresses like these chicks have on ;)
My diet today wasn't amazing. I'm only at 60 g of protein and I wish I had more but I don't think I want a snack tonight. I may try to have a diet hot cocoa and add some unflavored powder. I have this mental block where I get really anxious when I go much over 600 calories. My NUT didn't give me a calorie limit but it's one I have self-imposed. For you vets, should I go up to 700 calories on a day like today if it means 15 more g of protein?
Time since surgery: 6 weeks tomorrow! 37 lbs down as well :) Plus 18 in the two weeks pre-op. I am one happy camper :)
B: a Morningstar vegan griller veggie patty with 1/8 cup trader joes lite Mexican cheese and a tsp of ketchup and a tsp of mustard
E: Went for an hour walk at 2.5 mph with 3 friends
L: 1.5 scrambled eggs, 2 slices bacon
D: 2.3 oz of tuna with 1 tbsp of light mayo, on these AMAZING Parmesan crisps that have no carbs
624 calories, 39 g of fat (high), 61 g protein, 13 g carbs
What did you eat today? Em
I'm so glad you find them valuable! I don't want to be annoying and keep posting menus if no one cares, but I know I love seeing what people are eating. I have to get more adventurous and cook meals with multiple ingredients instead of the same old standbys :) I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling bad. Soooo many people here have colds and the flu. Thankfully I got the flu shot and I'm feeling strong! Make sure to stay hydrated - being dehydrated will not help in any way, shape or form :( Hope you sleep well and wake up tomorrow like a new person!
Hey DcGirl!!!
I was just like you afraid to go over my set calories of 800. Now I upped my calories and protein and the scale started moving. Now since you are still so early out around 600 to 700 sounds about right but maybe the others could shine in on this.

Well I just mixed up some sugar free hot chocolate that gets me to 729 calories but80 g of protein. So I won't stress about it. I guess as much as I would prefer to have food over shakes it seems like the powder packs a lot of protein with few calories and carbs :) I mixed sugar-free Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix, one packet Splenda, one scoop Inspire Dutch chocolate cake powder, and one tbsp of DaVinci sugar free mint syrup. It's delicious on a cold night! I did 300 calories of exercise today so I will try not to beat myself up over it :)
Im impressed with your 35 mins on the ellyptical. I totally call that "the machine of death" lol
Kenyatta-that machine doesn't have me praying, it has me SWEARING! I did a class at my friends gym yesterday called Body Pump. My whole body is screaming today! I went and walked 2.5 miles outside. Tomorrow I am trying Zumba for the first time. And I will start with a trainer in March so they can help me figure out what to do. I'm not great on my own-I do the same routine repeatedly and I want to mix it up :)
Working out six days a week? That's incredible! I can't wait to lose more so working out is easier. As in, lugging around 100 less lbs :)
