    Breakfast - smart ones egg whites and cheese with hashbrowns. Its a little over six ounces. I only eat a small portion of the potatoes and all of the eggs. Probably about five ounces total.

    Snack - Protein Drink - 1 scoop jay robb chocolate whey protein. 2 tablespoons chocolate PB2. handful of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries or some combo. 8 ounces of unsweetened almond milk.

    lunch - 3 - 4 ounces of fish and a veggie usually 2 to 3 ounces. I usually eat about 5 to 6 ounces total.

    snack - veggie protein drink - 1 scoop of unflavored unjury protein powder. small tomato, half or quarter of avocado, handful of spinach leaves, cilantro, small stick of celery, small piece of carrot, 1 broccoli floret, 1 cauliflower floret, tablespoon lemon juice, slap your mama spice, and enough water to dilute in nutribullet. then puree and drink. usually about 12 to 14 ounces of liquid and I usually cant finish it.

    Dinner - 3 - 4 ounces of fish and a veggie usually 2 to 3 ounces. I usually eat about 5 to 6 ounces total.

    Five months out:

    Breakfast: an egg, or a protein drink, and supplements

    Lunch: About 1/2 C soup, various ones, usually homemade with veggies, protein, beans and such
    half to a whole clementine, or 1/4C plain yogurt with about 5 berries and a splash of SF syrup

    Afternoon snack: Protein shake, usually in the car driving home from work.

    Dinner: 2-4 oz. of whatever protein my family meal contains, usually with a sauce because I seem to be unable to eat drier meats. a bite or two of a veg.

    Evening Snack: A hot cup of tea, sometimes I have a small biscotti or a couple of tea biscuits.

    Default Re: what and how much do you eat each day?

    Breakfast - Premier Protein Shake 11 oz ( I drink all of it w/ my supplements)

    Lunch - Usually a half cup of soup (Progresso Light varieties) & 2 saltines

    Snack - Premier Chocolate Protein Shake ( again, I can drink all of it, but it takes me about an hour)

    Dinner - 3-4 oz of Protein & 2-3 oz of veggie or other side dish ( I don't normally clean my plate either)

    Whenever we eat out, I try to look ahead of time, if I know where we are going to know ahead of time what is ok for me to eat, if that's not an option for whatever reason, I typically stay with soup or a salad. I have fallen in love with grilled Tilapia! It is my new go to when we eat out, usually with a steamed or grilled veggie. I always have more than half of it to bring home, but it reheats well for my dinner the next day when my family is eating something that I can't eat.

    Hi Kat, thank you for your post. I just have a question about the soup. Do you have to separate the solid from the broth and eat one and then the other? Or do you just stick with the cream style?

    I tend to make my soups thicker, more like stews, so that I don't have to deal with the mental issue of liquids and solids.

    I puree the whole can of soup. I keep it in a container and just heat enough for one meal.

    Hi Jackie, at this stage I am able to eat it as it comes, but because I eat the broth & solids together, I'm not able to eat as much of it at one time.

    Thanks everyone!!! This is helpful . I feel like I eat about the same amount or less, it's just more than I was able to eat before. A few weeks ago 3 bites and I was latterly full. I was hoping it would stay that way. Now I can eat about a 1/2 cup of most foods.
