What's On Your Menu Today?

[DETERMINED1]

Determined - Are you getting enough calories and protein in your diet? Just thought I'd ask because all you list with protein is chili with max 25 grams of protein. It kind of concerned me. Okay, I'll butt out -- LOL

Hey Gayle, I add the Quinoa to my chili and almost everything else that I eat because it add a great deal of protein.
I love advice so, no need to butt out!

Quinoa is like rice a whole grain that has very little taste. You can read more about it here:
WHFoods: Quinoa

Thanks!

[Gayle]

oooo !!! Thank you! I'll have to try that!!!

I had a blueberry and banana protein shake for breakfast.

Lunch was some chicken salad made with canned chicken, mayo and a boiled egg.

Snack was a sugar free popsicle.

Dinner???? Need about 30 more grams of protien, so it may be another shake.

[Dee Leshuz]

Today was unorthodox in that I didn't really have 3 meals, I had lots of snacks b/c I was exercising and then too tired to do more than eat food that was already prepared. So this is all very loose:

1 c. decaf tea 1/2 c. milk
1 cheese stick, 2 crackers (to prepare stomach for ibu)

While walking:
massive amounts of water followed by 2 cheese sticks,

After walk:

More massive amount of water
Atkins peanut butter fudge granola-oh so good!
1/2 c. Greek yogurt

Later snack: Tea 1/2 c. lowfat ygurt

Later

1/2 c. cottage cheese

Later

2 cheese sticks
1/2 c. cabbage

Now: Just finished some watermelon.

You can stick a fork in me, I'se done except I'll have some more tea later.

Feelin' good Dee. Got a little itchy yesterday after being outside in the afternoon/evening Saturday for a get together (it was 92 degrees and super high humidity here Saturday), so I am sure the heat/humidity bothered my mostly-healed rash patches. Luckily it cooled down and I feel mostly normal today

I'm glad to hear you are healing Lee. You have had a rough time of it. I'm feening for the chilpolte almonds.

Gayle, wishing you a great school year. My retired husband put in 34 yrs teaching and coaching at our high school. He taught English for 5 yrs before he switched to PE. He got tired of all the grading. What do you teach?

SS are you eating canned mackerel? I keep wondering about this.

Today is Shake Monday.

No I get sashimi grade fish!

[Dee Leshuz]

Oh, God, Monday is bad enough w/out making it Shake Monday! Or do you like your shakes?

And yeah, SS, been wondering about your fishy meals-for health, for protein, or taste? All of the above? I admire it, I just couldn't stick to it. I only have a few fish I can eat now b/c of my sleeve disagreeing w/ 2 of my regular go tos (Thank God it likes shellfish!) and others I just got burnt out w/ last time I dieted.

ETA

Glad to hear you're doing better, lee, life is unbearable w/ itching and NO exercise! I do it just as much for my mind as my body/caloric burn yadda yadda.

sushi / sashimi is my passion! love all seafood and fresh fish!

[Dee Leshuz]

That explains a LOT. Sushi grade fish is delicious! I've never had mackerel, though. I usually get shellfish (none of the kind where they put mayo sauce on, yuck!) salmon (fresh or smoked, plus salmon skin), unagi and I think that's it. I'm probably forgetting some. Sushi is perfect food for sleevers. I'll get sashimi, though, was told by Dr. not to eat rice.
