Okay VSGers,
Now that I'm three weeks out (and 25 lbs down! hurray!) I am thinking about what other VSGers eat and how you schedule your day. Anybody want to write down their day's eating? I'll start with today:
Breakfast:
1 sunny side up egg with parmesan sprinkled on it.
Protein shake after breakfast
Lunch:
Cup of bacon and white bean soup (out for lunch! I had lunch out and it was just fine because I could get soup!)
3 (very very chewed up) almonds
Dinner:
Salmon, portobello mushroom, and scallions (probably 2 oz salmon total, and a bite of mushroom).
I feel stuffed here. That felt like a lot of food for the day but as I tallied up the protein count, I'm actually a little under my 50 gram goal. I couldn't really assess the protein count of the soup, though, so I'm guessing.

Breakfast - 3 big cups of protein coffee
11:00 Chobani greek yogurt with sunflower seeds
3:00 Chobani greek yogurt with pumpkin seeds
7:00 7 or 8 bites of chicken
9:30 two slices of pear with creamy peanut butter on top.
(I don't really do breakfast/snack/lunch/snack/dinner/snack. I just eat when I want to and whatever sounds good in the moment. Right now I'm on a Chobani greek yogurt kick, stirring in raw sunflower seeds or raw pumpkin seeds)
Oh, and I think I popped a prune in my mouth while I was drinking my coffee this morning, so I had that too.

Bfast: Protein coffee, a couple, totals: 165cals, 7 carbs, 32g prot
Lunch: Oh Yeah protein wafer, 1, totals: 105cals, 4carbs, 7g prot
Cheese stick: 80cals, 1carb, 8g prot
Dinner: 2.4oz venison meatloaf (too much, was a tad too full) 170cals, 5g carbs, 13g prot
Before bed snack- Protein tea: 103 cals, 0 carb, 25g prot
Benefiber & Omega 3 & oils (I count these too) 45cals, 4 carbs
Totals for the day: 668cals, 21g carbs, 85g protein
Normally I stay around 70g protein, sometimes a little higher, sometimes lower.. but the goal is at least 70g. My carbs are routinely 20 or usually less, cals range from 600-800 nowadays, rarely much less, sometimes more.

I'm three weeks out as well and have been having 3 meals with 3 snacks. Today is planned out already:
7:30 1.5 medium hard boiled eggs
10:30 2 mini babybel cheeses
12:30 2 oz shrimp cocktail
3:00 strawberry chobani
5:30 2 oz roast chicken
8:00 strawberry kiwi nectar protein shake
Water all in between. I end up with 81 grams of protein at the end of the day. My aim is to be above 70 grams of protein, but above 80 is even better. My calories are only at 581, but the reality is that they are slightly higher, since I don't write down any teaspoon portions of sauces like cocktail sauce (it just seems ridiculous). Some days it feels like I'm eating all day, but since I can't get that much in at any time, it works for me.

Today for breakfast I tried something new. One of those whole wheat SMART bagels (the flat things) that are 100 calories. I also got some of the new Kroger creamy no-sugar added peanut butter, but it was really runny. I couldn't get it to stay on my bagel, so I ended up using the peanut butter as a dipping sauce for my bagel. Didn't care for it and won't get it again. And I gave about half of it to the dogs.
Also had my usual protein coffee for breakfast, about 6 bites of chicken around 1:00, and about 5 bites of chicken around 4:00.
In about an hour I'll have chobani yogurt with sunflower seeds, and dinner in a few hours will be refried beans, cheese, sour cream on a low carb ww wrap.
