Since you asked...

I'd forego the breakfast bowls unless you can make your own, or I'd do Greek Yogurt...and save the cheese stick for one of your snacks. 

I'm not sure what crack slaw is, can you explain? 

Overall, I'd try to be getting more dense lean protein in. 

Is chicken a problem for you? Is seafood or fish hard for you to eat?

Lot of versions of the crack slaw on low carb boards and recipe sites. It's more like a ground beef cabbage stir fry.

Crack slaw but she uses a different term

Ah, okay. Thanks! I'd never heard of it before. I didn't even think to look it up.

I did a really simple version of it and freeze it in 2.5 ounce servings. It is good when in a pinch. I used coleslaw mix, next time will try broccoli mix.

Ok, just my opinion...take it as you will.

I agree with the previous poster that I would skip the breakfast bowl if not making it yourself. Lot of sodium and preseratives. And tons cheaper and easier to make yourself. Tastier in my opinion as well, but that's me. I will often make a fritatta on the weekend and slice it in quarters for breakfast during the week. Or a mix much like a breakfast bowl and take out a serving a day.

At 2.5 months are you eating mostly the protein in the "crack slaw" and not so much the cabbage (or broccoli slaw or whatever you use in yours)?

Also at 2.5 months ou****ermelon is a bit of a waste of pouch space. Although since it helps with water intake that's a plus.

And again I echo the previous poster with encouraging chicken, fish and other dense lean proteins if you can handle them.

But you are not doing badly.

Edited for spelling

Do you recommend no fruits at this stage then?

I'm over a year out, and I don't eat fruit at all. I was never a fruit lover anyway. Veggies though? Om nom nom!
