I was wondering if people can post some food ideas...... I am in my second month and only able to eat two ounces 4 times a day but i am getting sick of my "regulars". I usually eat eggs, cheese, chicken and turkey meatballs but i would love to hear some of your suggestions.......

Thanks

i like lean deli meats, cant wait to eat beans, actually im still waiting for the next level myself lol so not much help from me, but hey my heart was in the right place. I still say V8 all the way.

I eat Chobani plain greek yogurt (zero fat, 18g protein, 100 calories). I also recently discovered the Starkist Seasations frozen grilled fish filets or the Gortons Grilled Tilapia filets, they are small and I'm able to eat them with no problem. The Starkist ones are a little larger and take longer to eat.. they have from 14-19g of protein.

For snacks I'll eat some deli meat, shrimp, cheese sticks, pork rinds.. I usually look for stuff with protein or I don't waste my daily caloric intake on it.

Hope that helps.

I also keep the frozen italian meatballs in the freezer for a quick throw together lunch for work.

Refried beans w/ melted cheese and sour cream are a great stand by!!! :)

pork rinds? really oooh i could so do that.. but arent they pretty much pork skin and the fat to cook them? i know on adkins i ate them quite a bit.. i just thought maybe they could cause dumping

Yes, you have to be careful about the dumping effect.. I don't dump on them, so try at your own risk, but they do have a lot of protein and low carbs and work well for me for a crunchy snack. Just don't eat more than the recommended serving (yes, WEIGH them on a kitchen scale) because they are very dry and will cause discomfort in your pouch, and you're not supposed to drink while you're eating. So I do them in moderation, but I do eat them.

What's the recipe for the turkey meatballs? I would love to have it! BTW I love the cups of Jello mousse, because of the texture. Only 30 c. and I don't think it woud cause problems, unless sensitive to sweetener.s

Thanks for the suggestions. The turkey meatballs are Foster Farms from Costco. They are a good frozen food to have on hand for a quick easy snack.
