Food

One of my favorite things to do is to read about what other people eat.  On one blog, I read a quote that went something like this:  "The goal with a band is not to see how much you can eat, but rather how little you need."  I live my days like this, in utter amazement.

My typical pre-lap band diet:
Breakfast:  Coffee, bagel with cream cheese
Snack:  Coffee, some kind of fruit
Lunch:  Lean Cuisine meal plus salad plus some diet sweet bar something
Snack:  Cheese and triscuits, coffee
Dinner:  Whatever restaurant - app, meal, dessert
Total Average Calorie Intake:  2500-3500 calories

What I ate today (2/3/11) with 7.5 ccs:
Breakfast:  Coffee before gym, Protein Shake after workout
Lunch:  One cup of chicken soup, 1 tablespoon of hummus, 2 pretzel thins
PM Snack:  Coffee
Dinner:  2 ounces of chicken, 2 tablespoons brown rice, one spear of broccoli, 2 sugar snap peas and 2 pieces of cooked carrots
Total Calorie Intake (Estimated):  700 calories
