Am I eating too much??????????????? HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I have a question please from a seven week postie. I feel like all I do

is eat all day long. I never get hungry but it just seems like I am

always eating and I feel like I am eating too much. Can somebody take a

look at a typical daily intake for a day and tell me if I am eating too

much. My mind keeps telling me I am and that I need to cut back or I am

not going to lose any more weight but I don't want to cut back too far

and screw things up that way either! HELP!! Any thoughts or suggestions

would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Yesterdays menu:

(eaten throughout the day)

4 oz vanilla protein drink (30 gms protein)

1/2 cup sunflower seeds (3.5 gms protein)

1/2 package lunchables--just the cheese and crackers (6.5 gms protein)

1 oz brazil nuts--give or take a nut :-) (6 gms protein)

16 oz tomatoe juice (8 gms protein)

1/2 TV dinner--salsbury steak & mashed potatos (6.5 gms protein)

Is this too much??? Am I making the wrong choices????? HELPS!!

I don't really know if you are eating too much. Are you losing weight? Are

you counting your Fat grams?

I'm going to approach this from a different standpoint. Let's look at

2 possible issues...

First of all, are you getting in you requirement of protein? At 60

grams, I would guess yes.

2nd question, Is this the best way for you to get your protein? For

example, the 30 grams of protein drink easily pass through your

system, causing you not to be full. Same with the 16 oz of tomato

juice. If 38 grams of protein basically pass through you without any

staying power, you are using the remaining 22 grams to keep yourself

full. Is that a the best choice?

You may want to look at undigested protein sources as an alternative.

sandi,

i had my surgery on sept 22nd and i'm still on the cream of wheat - i was

moved up to the potatoe - backed or mashed and just haven't started it yet

but i'm going to give you a sample menu they gave me - now this is after 8

weeks when you have added items each week

BREAKFAST

1/4 scrambled egg with a little shredded cheddar chesse

1/4 piece toasted wheat bread

SNACK

1/4 cup lowfat yogurt with 1/8-1/4 banana or 1/4 cup cottage cheese with 1/4

cup canned pear

LUNCH

4 oz protein drink

1 melba toast

DINNER

2 oz broiled tuna steak

1/8 c green beans

SNACK

1/8-1/4 c cottage cheese or lowfat sf frozen yogurt

now i'm reading this and i think i eat more than this already - just not all

the items - when i eat yogurt i eat the whole little container. could be why

i'm not losing fast
