So, things I did this week....(Big Daddy wanted to play on his own---don't foods that start with "P" already have Protein...like Potato Chips, Pancakes, Polar Shake Swirls??? (temptations!)
Well, for moi.....I generally have the muscle milk light for breakfast, it is gluten free....I think the EAS shakes actually have less calories...but muscle milk has been what we have gotten in the habit of using. I also cracked out a couple of eggs, no butter, no cheese...but yes to salsa. Being gluten free has actually forced me to eat more protein, since I can't just grab a slice of toast, etc. I used peanut butter on carrots, apples...and I try to throw a small handful of raw almonds into just about anything yogurt, salads, oatmeal. I love the turkey slices rolled with the low fat cheese (skinny cow) and a little sweetness/tart with lingonberries/or craisins, or cranberries. I have attempted a few days with only vegetables and fruits, but tend to get pretty wiped out if I don't have some kind of other protein. I know that veggies contain protein....just a different "formula" from meats and dairy....and I seem to need a little boost from those types of proteins. So....if you want to count....I ate protein at least 3 times a day, if not more.
One last favorite treat for me, is low fat cottage cheese with pineapple. Pineapple gives me the idea I'm in Hawaii...why not fantasize right? Just praying I can get to the point where I would actually want to be on a beach without my sweat pants on! (Pat no comments please!)
