Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Sorry that I haven't been keeping up with this group, so I don't know what your meal plan is. I try to mix up lunches and dinners, but only have a few breakfasts and snacks. A couple of breakfasts: 1 scrambled egg with spinach or other green veggie. 1/8 loaf rye manna with 1 tsp. ghee (that's a small slice) (MWF) or 4 oz. o'soy (soy yogurt) 1/4 C Ezekiel Flax cereal 1 Tbsp. dried blueberries 1 scoop (2 Tbsp.) O protein (TTH) These are small breakfasts because I have a midmorning snack almost every day of: 6 oz. pineapple juice 1 scoop (2 Tbsp.) O protein, or egg white powder or a combination of egg white powder/brown rice powder 1 tsp. Kyo-greens, 1 tsp. nutritional yeast, 1 tsp. soy lecithin, 1 tsp. flax oil My afternoon snack is usually 3 prunes and 4 walnut halves My bedtime snack is usually 1 banana 2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds I do best when I stick with this routine. As I say I mix up the lunches and dinner more because I think variety is important to get full nutrient coverage. I try to stick to only beneficials for fruit, nuts, seeds and oils because they are high calorie or in the case of the fruit something I've always avoided for weight loss, so using only the best for me. It is hard to overcome those old biases. I've been trying to increase beneficial protein to 14 servings per week, but that is pretty hard to do. I am doing better than 7 per week. I also had blood lipids tested recently and even going beyond 6 servings of red meat per week everything was looking great. In the later books he doesn't separate meat and poultry into separate categories, so I guess secretors could go up to 9 servings of red meat per week. That would be the only way to reach two beneficial proteins per day, since fish is limited to 5 servings per week. The 14 per week is recommended in a couple of the health library books, cancer, cardiovascular disease and arthritis. I bumped mine up with my recent tendonitis, which is greatly improved. But I digress, good luck on your plan, CK, hope this gives you a couple of ideas. > Hi everyone, > > Got to say first of all that I really like this meal plan, and that the food on it has been satisfying. On top of that, a recent cholesterol test showed my cholesterol levels have not risen, everything is where it should be. So much for cutting back on red meat. > > But I am having some difficulty that has little to do with the meal plan itself, and more with issues raised by my eating disorder. So I have a question. Does anyone here eat the same things for breakfast every day, and the same things for lunch every day? You know, how some people eat cereal everyday (I know, not us), or yogurt (ditto), or a sandwich (yet again). I'm wondering if there are some basic breakfasts and lunches that people rely on pretty much on a daily basis. > > If so, what are they? > > thanks, Carolyn > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yes, I have. When it happens I go turn on the TV and sit in my recliner. Drink some water or soda and try to eat something. Mine get so bad that my back starts to hurt and then I end up getting a major headache. Some times I take some M.O.M. or drink some milk. This has happens to me frequently and it does not matter what I eat. I cannot say what starts it or how it stops. I guess you could say its like hiccups of the E.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Is anyone familiar with MorningStar veggie buffalo wings? http://www.kelloggs.com/cgi-bin/brandpages/product.pl?product=317 & company=23 Today for lunch I had 6 of these which I figured to be about 3.5 oz and felt comfortably full. I cut them up into wheee little pieces and dipped them in low cal ranch dressing. I've found cutting these up fools my eyes and makes me think I'm eating more than I am. I also use a smaller plate. Having a little bit of food on a big plate makes me feel deprived. The same amount of food on a small plate makes me feel like I'm eating normally. My question is, is this a good amount to be full on after a fill? I've read up on this stuff and I know everyone is different, but it really helps to ask people who have been there. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Kerri, I'm not familiar with this product, but it makes a difference in whether they are battered and fried, or just " tenders " . Since this isn't even real meat, I'm not sure what it is. That being said, I used to be able to eat about 5 or 6 boneless buffalo wings from Chili's. Not especially good for me since they were battered and fried. I tried them one time since fill#4 and I can eat 1. Not worth ordering anymore. Anything with batter on it just gloms up on me. If it was just chicken tenders with no skin or batter, I could probably eat about 4 of them now, or whatever 1/2 measures out to be. NANCY 8/14/04 -63 DR.
