Double that and add the bird to ours too! I almost have to open two cans. ;o) I'm going up upload a picture. It's an older picture, but I figured what the heck, at least you can see part of my family. ;o)

I am sure they are fried. Also they are not going to be skinless so

they are out.

As for the 6th meal, I dont mind putting it in.. but what would I

eat? I do not like cottage cheese, dont like eggs, dont like

yogurt... should I just have another shake? Something with fruit in

it? Like an orange julius? scoop of vanilla protein powder, 6

ounces of orange juice and half a banana with water in it to make it

thin??? I use frozen orange juice ice cubes so I can either have 6

of them which are an ounce or less. ADVICE?????

>Breakfast:

Which protein powder? How much protein, how much carb?

>Snack:

>1 small banana

OK... First, lets stop calling them " snacks " . They are meals. you eat the

same amount of food 6 times a day.

Meal 2: one banana isn't going to cut it. Some will tell you that bananas

are ok if you eat them with a protein (like a cup of cottage cheese),

Personally I stay away from them except on free days and maybe once a month

not on a free day. MP eats one about every day.. WITH a protein!

>Lunch:

>This is the hard one... at work we have a cafeteria that cooks really

>good food. Wednesdays meal is Hot and Spicy Chicken wings.. I know..

>BAD BAD BAD... so what would be someones suggestion??

Ditch the chicken wings. (they don't remove the skin, and god knows what's

in the sauce " . Make your own version at home with chicken strips and bring

them to work. And make some brown rice to go with it.

>Snack:

>Carrot sticks

MEAL 4:

Carrot sticks isn't a meal. You need a protein and a carb. That's a veggie

(well, a fiberous carb but that comes later). You could try some cottage

cheese and yogurt here, maybe some left over chicken on a whole wheat

tortilla.

>Dinner:

>Skinless, boneless chicken breast with veggies and 1/2 cup of brown

>rice. I love this dinner! Could almost eat it every night.

That's pretty good actually. Make sure it's enough chicken. I noticed on

your website you had 1/4 chicken breast for one meal. Sorry, doesn't cut

it. You need at least 3 or 4 ounces which is about 1/2 of a full breast

(split breast).

>No snack after dinner.

No meal 6? Sorry, need that 6th meal. *poke* (you'll get those from me if

I see you going off track).

Don't like eggs? Well, try eggs a different way. I *love* egg fried rice

BFL style. I have 7 whites and one yolk with mushrooms and rice sauteed

with a bit of spray on pam. I use some fried rice seasonings made by

Sunbird for flavor.

>Now for the hard part! I am VERY PICKY! I do not like eggs that

>well, I could probably choke down a couple every now and again. I DO

>NOT LIKE TUNA! I need suggestions for protein.

Learn to gag it down.

Stop thinking of food as emotional yummy stuff, and start thinking of it as

fuel. Nothing more. Soon your tastes will change when you get that crap

out of your system. I can go in the kitchen right now, open a can of tuna

(share it with the cat) and eat the whole can without adding anything. A

year ago, I would have barfed before I did something like that..... plus I

would have had a thin amount on two thick slices of white bread.

I can't even imagine that now.

>Oh, if I eat this tomorrow will I be getting what I need? Too much?

>Too little?

If you eat that stuff tomorrow, you wont' be getting nearly what you need in

protein... and not enough healthy carbs.

Hope that helps

Question...

Instead of tuna, how about the chicken in a can? I do not know if

they make it packed in water, so I will have to check that out.

Looks like I will be cooking my heart out tonight.

hah.. never heard of a bird eating tuna. My cat knows the difference in the

sound of a *regular* can of food and a *tuna* can being opened.. he's like

*there*. I swear he has the senses of a shark when it comes to tuna.

Course he's my *baby* so he can have some too.

Something else that helps with cottage cheese... dice up the apples into

small pieces (or use natural, no-sugar added applesauce), and mix it real

well. Don't think of what it looks like, just concentrate on the apples.

It works :-)

Good luck... and let me know how it goes :-)

Be careful with the chicken in a can... some of them are packed in oil, and

some have a lot of salt. Check for one that is packed in spring water with

no added salt (Star-Kist makes one, and so does Chicken of the Sea). Avoid

the Underwood Devilled Chicken (added fat, salt, and sugar).

Warning! The canned salmon usually has bones... spinal bones... ICK... be

very careful if you're going to use canned salmon.

Personally, I'd much rather have a nice salmon steak (with lemon pepper - no

salt) and a baked potato with a little olive oil on it.

I just subscribed to Muscle Media magazine, and that article is what

educated me about what's in lunch meat.

Don't laugh when you hear this, but have you ever tried adding tuna fish to

the eggs? It actually tastes really good, and adds some extra protein.

Mushrooms in eggs are good... for something different, how about small cubes

of sweet potato or some colorful, bell peppers?

A banana on free day? Only if it's frozen and covered in chocolate and

nuts!

On my free day (last Saturday) I had one bag (16 oz) of frosted animal

crackers. (I could live on those!)

Coconut flan (however many servings the recipe was)

2 slices short of a large Papa 's canadian bacon/pineapple pizza (the

last 2 slices are in the freezer)

2 servings dried fish (can't help it, I'm asian)

brown rice

And guess what? I feel great! Ok, I did have a stomach ache by the time I

went to bed but I got those cravings out of my system.

This Saturday I'm having

1. Another package of frosted animal crackers (an officemate is guarding

the package for me right now)

2. KFC's honey barbqued wings

And whatever else I can think of by then

instead of ham:

chunks of salmon

mushrooms

green peppers

tomatoes

chilis

salsa

Re: Suggestions needed...

Your warning on lunch meat reminded me of something. We eat 1 very

thin slice each of ham in our eggs each morning which adds about 30

calories and a few grams of protein and zero fat. After reading

about lunch meats in Muscle Media, I think maybe I'd prefer to cut it

out, but what could I replace it with. I've thought about mushrooms

in the eggs instead. Any other ideas?

Andyman

[Guest guest]

Okay (I will admit this only because I am to shortly be opening up a

can of whup-a$$ on ya Lana) your cat is ever so much smarter than

mine. BOTH of my cats come running from anywhere within a half-mile

radius when they hear the can-opener, doesn't matter what I am

opening. And they don't believe me when I tell them that it's not

tuna, it's mushrooms or soup or something unappetizing to kitties -

they have to sniff the lid first before they leave with disgusted

looks on their faces. hehehe

Other things to add to eggs - spinach, mushrooms, cooked baby shrimp

with a tiny sprinkle of jack cheese, onion, bell pepers, salsa, there

are tons of other things. I have a great recipe for BFL sweet crepe

made with eggs if you want it. IMO, that slice of ham isn't hurting

you or Hugh, you guys have had great results. If it ain't broke

don't fix it.

I don't like cottage cheese either, but I eat it twice a day. My 10 o'clock

snack and my 3 o'clock snack go according to this recipe:

8 oz 1% cottage cheese

6 oz blue bunny Lite 85 yogurt (any flavor except strawberry [yuck])

1 T Udo's oil

stir together.

As I said, I don't like cottage cheese, but the blue bunny yogurt is too sweet,

so they have to be mixed together, and it comes out just right. Hope this

helps.

The shrimp is a good idea. You are probably right that I shouldn't

freak out about the ham since it is a very small amount and only 3-5

times per week. I suppose variety would be nice but I get used to

buying and cooking the same things all the time.

Yes, the canned variety that I have contain 4 gm prot, 4 gm carb, and

30 calories per serving and there is 2 servings in a can.

Cinnamon is good on EVERYTHING.

Great on cottage cheese. Wonderful on chicken.
