Looking for suggestions

[Guest guest]

Here is a general idea of what I eat daily or at least try to eat. I am looking

for ideas. I know I am supposed to wait 1.5 hours before drinking after eating.

Breakfast - 2 or 3 oz of - chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin

or 1 or 2 oz of ham and a fried egg (in a non-fat pan)

or two hard boiled eggs

or two eggs scrambled/two egg omelet with a slice of 2% cheese

melted on top

or a piece of toast with peanut butter or cheese melted on it.

I eat this maybe once a

week or less. I find my pouch handles bread better if toasted.

Midmorning - a piece of fruit - apple, grapes, nectarine, plum, cantaloupe,

watermelon etc.

Lunch - 2 or 3 oz of - chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin on half a

lite whole wheat roll

toasted.

Midafternoon - a piece of fruit - Usually different than what I ate in the

morning.

Supper - again 3-4 oz of protein chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin,

fish( I do try not

eat the same thing every meal but sometimes I don't have enough

stuff already cooked.

- 1/2 -3/4 cup veggie - Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans etc. I

will sometimes try to eat the

veggie first then wait a bit because it tends to fill be up. I just

know I need the fiber.

- once in a while I will eat some corn on the cob

- small salad with good lettuce and lite dressing ( I eat this about

20 minutes before my meal.

It is mostly water and chews down to almost nothing)

Evening snack - sugar free popsicles

- lite popcorn - I find the kettle corn will help deal with

the craving for sweet stuff.

The amount varies. Depends on my activity level for the day. I walk 5 days a

week, varying distances. Last Sat I did 6.5 miles this Sat I will be doing 7.

I'm training for a 15 mile walk on Oct 4. I also joined Curves recently. Some

days I am hungrier than others.

I had surgery on 8/15/02. I'm 52 years old and 5' 5 " tall with large bones.

Beginning weight 254 / current weight 151 / goal weight 140 - 145. I currently

wear a size 8 in jeans or a men's 30-31 waist.
