Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 << I also wonder how much protein a day we are suppose to have. I weigh 233 now if that makes a difference. >> Most of us need a minimum of 70 grams of protein a day to keep up with our new digestive system and the malabsorbtion. There IS a website that helps you figure out how much protein your body weight would require...but I'm having a senior moment right now and can't remember where I saw that. Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 Dee thanks for the recipes I really appreciate them. I also wonder how much protein a day we are suppose to have. I weigh 233 now if that makes a difference. Dee in Missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 << How can we possibly get 70 g of protein at 2-3 tbsp of fod per meal. I think i am doing good to get 15-20. >> When we first come home, that first couple of months, it is difficult to get 70+ grams of protein because we usually eat just three or four TBS at a time. I chose nonfat yogurt and nonfat cottage cheese often...two or three TBS at a time. I also used tofu and yogurt to mix protein shakes. One shake lasted me three or four meals and I just refrigerated it in a covered container between meals. Now, when I'm working, I carry a protein bar morning and afternoon. I drink my protein shake in the morning and finish it by the time I park in the lot at work. Sip, sip, sip! On the way home, I have one can of Glucerna OS by Ensure which has less sugar in it than regular Ensure. Again...sip, sip, sip! Lunch is usually veggies and/or some type of fruit and nonfat yogurt or cottage cheese. I choose V8 or some other 100% juice for liquid. I have access to hot water at work, so I take herbal teas which are immune supporters and/or antitoxidants. We just keep plugging away, kiddo! Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 The FOY smoothies in chocolate have 23g (19g for vanilla) protein per serving. That's what I was planning on using. fg At 07:34 PM 02/21/2000 -0600, you wrote: > > >Dee >How can we possibly get 70 g of protein at 2-3 tbsp of fod per meal. I >think i am doing good to get 15-20.

I just got a new juicer and haven't the foggiest idea what to do with it. It didn't come with a recipe book!!! Hugs, Pat Lyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2000 Report Share Posted February 22, 2000 Somebody said the FOY was available at Wal-Mart... I haven't looked here yet... Deb in NW Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2000 Report Share Posted February 22, 2000 I found it in Walmart. You can also find the available stores on the website foysmoothie.com. It was on the top shelf, so it was easy to miss. fg At 02:41 PM 02/22/2000 EST, you wrote: >From: Deckbound@... > >Foy??? Where do you get Foy smoothies??????

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2000 Report Share Posted February 23, 2000 I guess it has a lot of soy in it. I am beginning to think maybe I am allergic to soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
