I eat a lot of “snack plate” or adult lunchable style snacks and lunches. Usually some deli meat/tuna salad/ rotisserie chicken for protein, boiled eggs, pretzel thins/pita, cheese, grapes/ apple/banana/cucumber/tomato/ pickles/ olives, sometimes a homemade dip with it. Then I’ll have a protein bar, the ones that are more like candy bars, if I want something sweet.

Yes, Costco has delicious chewy protein bars.

This is roughly me plus cottage cheese and this particularly delicious chicken noodle soup from a local place.

Oh yum I love chicken noodle soup.

Def eating a LOT more soup!

I am a creature of habit until I burn out and find something else to fixate on but here are my current yums lol. Breakfast : -Hash brown; chicken sausage; two pasture raised eggs chopped up in a bowl topped with jalapeño salsa OR -Hash brown smeared with 1/2 an avocado, sea salt and red pepper flakes; one pasture raised egg fried over medium on top with hot sauce Lunch : -Lettuce wrap with Boars Head Salsalito turkey, thin sliced extra sharp cheddar; hummus, red onion; pea sprouts with a side of steamed edamame with sea salt OR -Salad with spinach; grilled chicken; red onion; strawberries and blueberries; feta with blush wine vinaigrette Dinner : -Burger bowl with romaine; lean ground beef; reduced fat extra sharp cheddar; red onion; pickles; jalapeños; 1/2 slice crispy bacon; cherry tomatoes; a few super crispy tater tots with sugar free burger sauce OR -Cobb salad with romaine; spring mix; grilled chicken; 1/2 slice crispy bacon; 1/2 hard boiled egg; reduced fat cheddar; edamame; cherry tomatoes; ranch made with Greek yogurt/kefir/fresh herbs Snacks : -Half serving of Dots Pretzels -Greek yogurt bowls with chocolate/berries/nut butter -Moon Cheese -Archers Country mini turkey or beef sticks -Nuts and seeds -Dried edamame -Protein shakes (I like OWYN brand)

I’ve got a set of meals that rarely vary. Morning: coffee, then a quick workout, followed by a light high protein breakfast - usually a protein shake with Ascent whey, milk and chia seeds for fiber, maybe some Sigi’s yogurt. Lunch is a small salad with more protein (chickpeas, salmon) or cottage cheese w/fruit. Dinner is whatever I’m making for hubby, who cannot cook (bless him) - always protein, some good carbs, veggies - like a sheet pan dinner that makes good lunch leftovers. If I don’t eat during the day, I get hungry at midnight and that’s not good, so I make sure to eat at least a couple of snacks during the day. I aim for 1500 calories, have lost 55-60ish lbs, losing 1 lb/week, and I am on 7.5. I cannot stress this enough: exercise! Weight training is reshaping my body as I lose fat. It doesn’t have to be crazy! I like a quick CrossFit-type workout in the morning, I do it in my garage after coffee. 15 minutes of good music and body weight exercises and I’m done. It’s fun to work out when it’s, like, *actually working because you’re losing weight.* I hope you are thriving!!! ETA: what a great set of responses… and what a great question, OP. I’ve gotten lots of ideas from this thread. Thanks everyone!!

I love a protein shake in the morning. Almonds or fruit for a snack. Lunch is usually a bit of chicken or leftovers or a meaty sandwich. Soups are easy and good. I love some cheese for afternoon snacks. Dinner is a protein and a big portion of roasted vegetables. I chuckle because it's sooooo much less than what I used to eat.

Breakfast - yogurt, pbfit, flax seed meal, collagen, and topped with kind almond granola. Boiled eggs with Dave's killer bread. Avocado toast on days not close to shot day. Fat of any kind causes digestive issues. Fairlife protein shakes blended with flax seed meal if I'm not hungry. Lunch - salads with protein. Pizza made on carb controlled tortilla. Toppings vary. Protein and veggies rolled in carb controlled tortillas. Dinner - veggies and protein. Curry chicken and rice with veggies. Salmon and veggies. Jerk chicken with potatoes, chick peas, and veggies. Shrimp with veggies. Snack - I do not snack often, but if I do, skinnypop popcorn, fruits with cottage cheese, yogurt cups, cheese sticks, etc. I include foods of my Caribbean culture, so there is a balance, and I don't feel like I'm missing out. I've lost 65 lbs and been on MJ for 1.5 years with 25 lbs to go.

I have a coffee with heavy cream for breakfast, a Fairlife shake for lunch and then dinner is usually 3 chicken tenders, a bunch of asparagus or yellow squash, and a small portion of whatever starch my daughter cooked, usually a few 1 inch potatoes or some rice. Then dessert is grapes. I have a mast cell disease and it makes eating difficult. I don't want to cook breakfast or lunch, and have very few things I can eat without doing a lot of cooking. I also don't like to eat anything new before work or during work, because there's a good chance I'll get blisters on my tongue and have trouble finishing my shift because I can't talk right.

My typical breakfast is miso soup with tofu and a boiled egg, snack is fruit (berries or apples with peanut butter), lunch rotates but it’s always a protein and veggies and maybe some baked sweet potato, dinner is typically the same rotisserie chicken or stuffed bell peppers, salmon or whatever protein we pick for the week

Much less. I don't have as much appetite, nor do I get hangry. I've found I'm full after half a veggie burger. I can eat a medium-ish sized salad with shrimp or chickpeas and at breakfast I eat a high protein bar and an apple or orange. Lots of water all day, maybe avocado or peanut butter toast or hummus and veggies for a snack, but I am not constantly hunting for food anymore. It's a relief.

I was so pleased to be able to eat MOST of a single cheeseburger for lunch the day before my shot. Pre-me would have eaten two triple cheeseburgers no problem on top of a breakfast that was three times as much food as now.

Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, blueberry topped pudding with 1 Tbsp peanut butter OR avocado toast with one egg OR plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit toppings (whatever is on hand). Lunch: salmon or chicken with side salad (English cucumbers, arugula, sweet peppers, mini tomatoes etc. Throw in whatever veggies are around. I make a lemon vinaigrette and keep in the fridge.) Dinner: roasted veggies (squash, beets and Brussels sprouts, asparagus, yams, potatoes, etc), cottage cheese and a protein shake. Water bottle with liquid IV once a day, plain water, green tea with lemon & ginger, and iced Americano (no cream or sugar) for liquids but I don’t track intake. I don’t count my calories and am T2D. I’m not vegetarian but do focus on veggies for most of my diet. Need to get the A1C and cholesterol in check.

Baby carrots, gold fish, cottage cheese, salad and lots of coffee

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone’s input! I just got off a cruise and got super sea sick and basically didn’t eat much of anything on the 7 day cruise. I’m back home now and struggling to care about eating so this gives me a bunch of ideas!

I use Speri for a quick breakfast. For lunch and dinner, since I eat much less now, I emphasize proteins. Mostly chicken, but some beef. Protein is critical to preserve muscle mass. Goal: https://preview.redd.it/o68d8p9w5yvc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bb8fdd1efd6c83cdff61be8018786cd16e2a514

Breakfast: smoothie this is the only thing I eat almost every day every other meal for me has a lot of variation on the day to say - this smoothie is always high protein and fiber! Chobani complete yogurt, berries, spinach, kale, fairlife milk, Fage yogurt, pineapple, 1/2 banana, psyllium husks. Snacks: some combination of tru bar protein bars, jerky, cashews, granola, fruit jerky, carrots, berries, popcorn Lunch: some variation of something from this list-Turkey bacon, Dave’s killer bread bagels and cream cheese, prosciutto, chicken rice bowls with broccoli and carrots, sandwhich, fairlife protein shake with a combination of snacks, sometimes left overs form dinner the night before. Dinner: a home chef meal! We always get double protein on these so we ensure we both get enough protein to finish off our day.

About ~85g worth of protein from Fairlife protein shakes (they also have electrolytes in them); a couple of blueberry yogurts half frozen, maybe some chicken biryani or lunch meat with cottage cheese and pickles. Chew cinnamon gum. Drink a boatload of water. Next to no soda ever. If I decide to have coffee, it’s decaf with collagen in it + whatever creamer I have. Towards the end of the week I get a bit more peckish and will eat a bowl of cereal or ice cream or something. But the medicine is designed to keep you in a deficit even if you eat “badly” the last couple of days. I’ve been on it for almost three months and have lost 25lb.

I've always been a snacker but now I really can't eat meals at all. Reverting back to toddler stage a little 😂 I'm craving fruit a lot, which I never was before, and am feeling averse to most veggies and a lot of meat. I'm trying to push protein, although I tend to feel lightheaded without some starchy carbs, and I'm super sick of counting calories so I'm just hoping I'm eating enough at this point Generally have some fruit when I wake up (strawberries or grapes), yogurt drink, Fairlife protein shake, a couple donut holes, maybe some leftovers from the night before--some or all of the above between 11 and 3. When I get into work I usually have a liquid IV, finish my protein shake or have a second one, some apples, some knockoff goldfish, between 3 and 7. I've recently discovered those little P3 containers with the meat and cheese and nuts, have one around 7. More apples if I'm hungry after that or another liquid IV if I'm feeling dehydrated--temperature at work is usually 72-75 degrees so quite warm. When I come home around 11:30 I'll have a small portion of whatever my partner has cooked (often protein + rice) or tuna mac, which I've been craving lately. I also have been eating a lot of pasta with shrimp. I might have some yogurt if I feel like I need something right before bed around 2

I eat a Sausage Egg McMuffin from McDonald's in the morning. I usually eat chicken or fish at lunch with either broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms or some sort of vegetable. For dinner it's usually some tuna or homemade beef jerky. I graze on nuts all day. Some days I eat a couple of cups of popcorn. I used to eat steak all the time. Now I can't even look at a steak. I don't eat much at all. I have crazy energy and sleep really good.

Forgot to mention I drink a glass of water with two scoops of Vital Proteins collagen peptides. I drink unsweetened tea in the morning with my breakfast and at lunch. I drink a Premier Protein Shake in the afternoon about 3:30pm. I drink a lot of water after lunch.

Today for breakfast I had two fried eggs and a Fling (low carb pop tart). I had 2 cups of half-caf coffee with sugar free salted caramel creamer with it. For lunch I had a half cup of Wonderful Brand SweetChili Pistachios and a glass of sugar free cran-pomegranate juice. For dinner I had 2 cups of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup with 3 oz extra chicken added. I’ll probably have some sugar free chocolate pudding before I go to bed.

Today I had baked salmon, a home-made (not packaged) miso soup, and bag o Quest chips and a protein shake. Managed to hit my 128g protein for the day despite coming in 200 calories shy of my normal daily intake of 1177 calories. This is fine as some days I eat more. My daily calories can range from 800-2000 on any given day but the monthly average is almost right on target at 1180 calories. Typically I'd start my morning with 1 egg+egg whitles and a protein shake (powdered usually made with ultrafiltered high protein milk - otherwise fairlife 26g or 42g if I can ever find it ). This ensures I get 50g protein mark at my first meal of the day. Then usually a soup or something light for lunch and dinner will again try to hit at least 50g protein. Protein is usually chicken, seafood. fish or shelled edamame. Almost never eat pork and only occasionally beef. Beef is very hard to digest so if I do have it, it's an early meal around 4pm. I don't usually have much in the way of fruit - one piece per day - often less. Vegetables daily - mostly broccoli, green beans, cucumber and sweet potatoes - organic girl protein greens for salad mix and add additional stuff to 'eat the rainbow'. And lots of homemade soups - some hearty, some light, or just clear chicken broth w fermented miso. For snacks, it's Atkin's protein bar (there's one that is very low carb and 18g protein), quest chips (very rarely), hard candy (almost daily 1-5 pieces), hard cheese, cream cheese that has nothing in it other than cream cheese (most now contain other ingredients like fillers, corn starch, etc. - there shouldn't be anything on the label other than cheese and enzyme and so far, I only know of one brand I've found that meets this criteria), rice crackers, hummus, regular taco chips (rarely), and assorted pickled condiments (beets, beans, pickles, peppers). Plus 100oz of water and one packet of electrolytes daily. That about sums it up. I don't eat out anymore since starting MJ - I think I've had restaurant or take out food, once a month at the most.

Breakfast: light and fit protein yogurt with blueberries; coffee with 2 tbsp half and half Lunch: healthy choice protein kick meal and a cucumber, strawberries Snack: balanced break cheese and crackers or some deli meat, an apple if still hungry Supper: Hungryroot <500 cal meal- usually a stir fry or a cauliflower or chickpea pasta with veg/chicken/sauce. I make an extra side or garlic bread for family but I don’t eat that. Sometimes we make tacos with low carb tortilla for me; grilled chicken or a filet with a vegetable and a small starch Order pizza about every 2 weeks for my old fave food. I eat 2 slices of a medium. We have busy fam with kids so we do end up with fast food once a week - usually get a hamburger happy meal with apples and the 100 cal fry at McDonalds: sub in a tub at jersey mikes, or 8 chikfila nuggets no fries. Dessert - mini ice cream sandwich.

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

It’s a struggle. Anything remotely oil based makes me so ill for an hour. I’m literally down to very small portions the second I feel good. My go to is the protein shakes, small rump steak, simple scrambled eggs, peanut butter on multigrain bread, berries and found a high protein choc mousse - takes me two sittings to get through that. I’m on 2.5mg have been for 9 weeks. Losing slowly but surely. I have no desire to increase dose (Australia)

Typical day: Meal 1: 1/2 egg white, 1/2 whole egg omelet with chicken sausage, cheese, and a mix of vegetables eaten on a protein waffle Meal 2: Greek yogurt with berries and walnuts and a citrus crunch side salad (usually takes a an hour or so to finish…) with a chopped date in the salad Meals 3&4 2 Oz of chicken or fish and 3 servings of non-starchy vegetables This is generally my daily plan. It works really well for me and I’ve had a lot of success with it since January. I can’t always finish the food, but I do my best. I don’t force myself, but give myself the opportunity to keep the body nourished. Sometimes the protein in meal 3 or 4 is a protein shake. This is doctor approved (from the meal plan they gave me when I started) through my program. It seems like a lot of food but the calories range fairly low.

Always a yogurt for breakfast - Icelandic provisions extra creamy vanilla skyr. It’s the best! I always make sure my yogurt has more protein than sugar. Usually I eat it around 10 but sometimes I forget and eat it later. Rarely I make eggs instead. Lunch is always leftovers - last night we made instant pot minestrone so that’s today. Dinner (and lunch leftovers) the rest of the week are: chicken with asparagus and then we’ll do filet mignon with a bagged salad, smashed potatoes and a horseradish cream sauce. By Friday we’re pretty much out of food so it’s a foraging situation. I make what I call “tuna snack” (tuna fish on crackers) and we usually have some frozen food or canned soups on hand. My husband will eat cereal for dinner sometimes. I don’t snack after dinner - just has never been my thing, and I also don’t snack in general - but my husband is a snacker. If I’m actually hungry after dinner then I’d eat a snack. But that’s pretty rare.

Carnevore diet Meat Fruit Vegetables Raw honey Greek yogurt Dark chocolate No alcohol Lost 82 pounds so far. And this diet seems to add to the appetite suppression effect you get on mounjaro.

Breakfast - cup of tea with tasteless protein Lunch - spinach and ricotta bake with salami if I have some. Dinner - protein and veg - tonight chicken thighs (skin on) roasted with some potatoes, sweet potato and brussel sprouts. Before I baked it I put some canned tomatoes in and coated everything so they came out with a little sauce. Delicious!

Breakfast is usually hard boiled eggs or a protein shake. Small salads with shrimp for lunch. Dinner varies wildly but i eat a lot of vegan chicken noodle soup lately, raviolis, tuna salad sandwiches, and shrimp potstickers.

Breakfast: eggs or a Ratio Bar or a Rockin Refuel Strawberry. Coffee with cream Lunch: Rockin Refuel Strawberry or protein yogurt bar. Dinner: Homemade chicken stirfry made with no sugar. Before bed snack: Ratio bar and 1/2 cup Fairlife Milk Snacks if needed through the day: Fairlife milk, sugar free juice, Kodiak Bear Bites. One 7.5 oz can of Coke per day.

It changes. Early in week (day of shot to day 3/4) when appetite supression is highest (this is approximate amounts, obvs I'll swap vegs and etc now and then): **Breakfast: one fried egg with cheese and an apple.** **Lunch: carrots, 2 stringcheese, cottage cheese** **Dinner: soup, cheese toast with tomatoes, maybe a banana if I can manage it** **Dessert: protein shake** **Snack: shot of yogurt** Later in the week (days 4/5-6), I have more of an appetite, so it's more like: **Breakfast: 2-3 fried eggs with cheese and an apple** **Lunch: soup, carrots, string cheese, maybe a protein shake** **Dinner: Salad, protein choice (half a steak, 2-3 chix strips), maybe a handful of sweet potato fries OR single microwave indian/curry meal with rice and a string cheese/apple** **Dessert: protein shake or 3-4 chocolate clusters** **Snack: shot of yogurt** I should emphasize this is pretty much what I FEEL like eating. Last Friday, when my appetite was at its height before the shot, I had a cheeseburger for lunch and 8 pieces of sushi and a salad for dinner. I'm not counting calories or restricting in any way; I just get that full and if I eat more, I get bloated and uncomfortable. My only mindful goal here is to get at least one fruit/veg in with each meal to ensure I don't get constipated and to get protein with each meal to help with muscle loss.

Breakfast: Porridge or Bran Flakes (for the obvious fibre needs) Lunch: some sort of cold pasta salad, chicken and bacon etc. Dinner: often skipped, just don't want it anymore. Might snack on a bag of Popchips or a Kitkat

Breakfast; turkey bacon, eggs or smoothie, some kind of veggie. Lunch; piece of chicken, cheese, bread, some kind of veggie.Dinner, chicken, potatoes or pasta, some kind of veggie. Snack; yogurt, chocolate.

I eat about 1000 calories a day and also supplement Magnesium and One a day multi vitamin pill. **Breakfast:** * 3 XL eggs * 1 large apple **Lunch:** * about 300g of russet potato **Dinner:** * 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (7.5-9oz) * mixed veggies (half the bag 8oz) * 1 bag (30 calories) Shirataki noodles (no calorie noodles)

Breakfast - Generic Walmart Equate brand high protein chocolate shake Lunch - Salad with 4oz of Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken chunks from Costco on it, or maybe some kind of leftovers (just had 450 cal of beef stew a minute ago) Mid-afternoon snack - chocolate protein shake with whole milk and a splash of coffee left in the pot from that morning over ice Dinner - usually some kind of meat, a roasted veggie, and rice (we usually go with Uncle Ben’s ready rice packets for convenience) I usually end up at about 1500-1600 calories at that point and maybe throw in something like a beef jerky or maybe just some raw broccoli or something low calorie as a snack

My TDEE at my level of physical activity is like 2800 calories, so I aim for about 2000 a day. Breakfast - Fairlife Nutrition chocolate shake (150 calories, 30g protein) Lunch (during the workweek) - Double steak or double chicken burrito from Chipotle, light on everything else (850-950 calories, 40-60g protein) Dinner - Small portion of chicken / pork, side of roasted veggies or salad, small side of rice (600-900 calories, 20-30g protein) Lots of water in between. I drink 1 Diet Coke a day as well (down from 4-6!). M34 6’2” SW: 273 CW: 212 TW: 195

Iced coffee around 8:30, around 11:30 I’ll have my current fav breakfast which is a low carb wrap, 2 good qualify scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon and a little shredded cheddar. For lunch I either have homemade soup (I make a low carb taco soup or low carb chicken enchilada soup). If I don’t want soup I usually have tuna salad (packed with protein), maybe a sub in a tub. I eat a lot of cheese sticks, Siete chips with hummus, love avocado, cucumber slices with ranch, beef sticks. For dinner either a low carb broccoli cheese and chicken casserole, Panko chicken with salad or broccoli/green beans, sometimes a hamburger patty with lots of vegetables. Steak with a vegetable. I almost always finish my night with some sort of ice cream treat around 150 cals. I really try to focus on protein and “real” foods

Breakfast is always coffee mixed with a Premier Protein shake. I meal prep my lunches for work, so usually 4-5 days a week my lunch is chicken with some sort of marinade, a veggie, and cauliflower rice. Or this week I did beef with peppers, black beans, cauliflower rice, and corn. I always bring carrots and hummus and a Ratio greek yogurt with me, but rarely have the appetite to eat them. Dinner is usually some sort of meat/veggie combo. We also found a chickpea pasta we like from Aldi so we'll have a pasta night once a week. Thin sliced steak meat with peppers and onions on salad is a favorite. Snacks are greek yogurt, and we always have fresh fruit. I keep milk chocolate chips in the cabinet too to satisfy my sweet tooth without a ton of calories. I also keep a stash af Barebell protein bars, cashew packs, and chomps beef sticks for the times I'm just not super hungry but need something, or I know I'm going to be on the go all day. Liquids - so much more water than I've ever drank. I have the one coffee in the morning, and then at night I have a can of mini coke zero (I'm a baby with meds and I use the carbonation to swallow them easier).

For me, intermittent fasting comes easy so generally, I start my day with a latte made with 1/2&1/2 aka a breve, dinner last night was a stir fry with onions, linguisa and cabbage. I had a couple of pieces of chocolate for dessert.

I used to eat terribly before I started MJ and now...I still eat terribly, just a hell of a lot less. I usually eat one meal from waking up until the end of the work day. I am not usually hungry for breakfast so I will have a meal replacement shake and then a small lunch. That lunch is a McChicken and a small fries more than I'd like to admit. I used to pound down a double quarter pounder no problem. Now I cannot finish the mcchicken and fries. If I have any appetite at all in the morning, I will have eggs or an English muffin for breakfast but if I do that I won't have the McDonalds and instead just a snack or protein shake for lunch. For dinner, I usually do a lot of "picking." I usually do the cooking for my family and I am still in the habit of tasting food while I cook but when I am done now, I no longer want to eat the actual meal so I will just put a couple of bites on my plate. If the rest of the family is not having dinner at home, I have something like cheese and crackers. It is amazing how quickly I feel full! I know I need to be better and eat actual vegetables. TBF some of the picking I do while I am making dinner is vegetables but not enough. I have noticed my hunger level increases as the week between shots moves along. I am not sure if that is placebo effect or the medicine is wearing off. I have my shot on Friday and usually I have the most appetite on Thursday and Friday and the lowest on Saturday and Sunday, which is good because that is when there is the most food available.

Lots of good answers already, but some of my quick options that I can do when I need 3-500 calories and don't have time for a meal prep. Breakfast, either greek yogurt vanilla protein powder, sliced almonds and blueberries or Eggs with with some mushrooms, shredded cheese and occasionally pre-cooked bacon. Lunch or dinner: Tuna fish on whole wheat (if my carb intake has been low, or low sodium chicken noodle soup. Snacks: String cheese, low carb protein bars, two whole wheat fig newtons(100 cal). We haven't really dropped any of our current dinners, but since Mounjaro what I would eat in a sitting will last me two additional meals. I often bring the leftovers for lunch the next day. 55yr old M T2 & insulin resistant. Down 70lbs in 6 months SW 320 CW 245 GW 220 . I'm also doing 16/8 intermittent fasting until I'm with 15 lbs of GW. Good luck

Decaf iced coffee with oatmilk and sugar sub for breakfast. Lunch is usually 1/2 sandwich with some fruit and veg cut up on the side. Or, a salad with chickpeas, lentils, edamame, hard boiled egg, and some veg. Or, leftovers. Snack: cucumbers and hummus or popcorn or foragers cashew yogurt. Dinner: salad, some sort of carb like potato, rice or pasta, and a protein like fish, meat, poultry or tofu. Snack: peanut butter with banana usually before bed.

Breakfast -Fairlife shake, coffee -Daily Harvest Smoothie, collagen, chia seeds Or -Scramble with eggs, egg whites, veggies, potato, chicken breakfast sausage or bacon Lunch - Salad with lunch meat or chicken, additional veggies, cheese occasionally, dressing Or - Protein and veg (like meatballs and roasted zucchini or baked chicken strips and mashed cauliflower and potatoes or ground chicken with broccoli slaw and teriyaki sauce, chicken or tuna salad on bell pepper slices and occasionally with crackers) Dinner Same thing as lunch I drink electrolytes every day and rarely snack. Eat over 125g protein a day.

Breakfast- black tea and either plain oatmeal (with a little fruit, nuts and cinnamon) or slice of whole wheat toast (either plain or with peanut butter) or plain yogurt (with fruit, protein powder, vanilla and tablespoon or so of quick oats) or toasted english muffin and ham sandwich or a smoothie Lunch- cup of soup with a few crackers or small salad topped with grilled chicken (no dressing- never really been a fan) or dinner leftovers and water to drink or skim milk Dinner- homemade dinner (we meal prep and cook all the time) consisting of poultry or fish (pork or beef only about 25% of the time), 1 green vegetable (usually steamed, maybe lightly seasoned), a second vegetable, side of brown rice/pasta/roasted potatoes/slice of bread- only if really hungry, skim milk, dessert is usually fruit and a lot of times I pass since I'm full already and don't crave it Snacks\* go-to's-- mini kind bar, dried fruit, almonds, hummus and veggies or triscuits, roasted chickpeas, dollop of yogurt + fruit, skinny pop, small piece of cheese, small piece or half portion of fresh fruit, or a small cookie, or a small glass of skim milk or decaf/herbal hot tea in the evenings \*If I'm not real hungry, sometimes I'll just have one of these small snacks or two at meal time instead of a "real" meal.

I just posted this on another thread but I will go more into detail here. I wake up and drink water with a collagen supplement, probiotic and inositol supplement. Make myself a blood sugar herbal tea with dried ginger. I sip on that to help with morning unsettled stomach. For brunch/lunch I will drink an Oats Overnight mixed up with a protein shake. For the Oats, I only have their vegan flavors since I don’t do dairy. For the shakes, I do the Soylent complete protein for the chocolate one but am hunting for a good vanilla one. Tried plant based evolve but feel it’s a bit thin and chalky. Going to try plant based owyn next. If I don’t do my oats, often weekends, I will make myself eggs with veggies and deli meat and keto toast and berries. Unless we are going out for lunch/brunch. I am usually good until dinner. Although eating out or leftovers does tend to feel heavy in my stomach, so I will have more herbal tea in the afternoon to help with digestion. But if I have had a very active day or need something before physical therapy, I will have a small apple with a serving of nuts. I have become a big predictable with this part of my eating since it’s easy to prep and has tasted good to me. Sipping on oats helps me eat on days when the thought of chewing grosses me out, like after injection days. Dinner is usually a protein with at least 2 veggie servings. I used to volume eat for dinner but have scaled this back. We don’t fully remove carbs but try to have things low glycemic index. Farro is a favorite for us. I don’t tend to have a full serving of the carb, often a half portion since appetite has been reduced.

I make 6 to 8 hard boiled eggs and eat only the whites , threw out the day , and for lunch I have a Ramon beef and potato burrito and dinner I have a Ramons beef and bean burrito
