Good thing you didn't ask about yesterday. It was all over the map - just couldn't seem to be hungry at standard times!!

Breakfast - Homemade flax scone; 2 slices turkey bacon; 2 eggs mixed with bit of cream.

Snack (special at work for Public Service Week): Slices of kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe and honeydew

Lunch (what I brought - depends on hunger whether I'll eat it all): spinach, cherry tomatoes, few pieces red & orange peppers, 2 lobster claws. Also brought stewed rhubarb/strawberries (artificially sweetened, but not by much).

*Update*: I only ate the salad plus the lobster. Then I opened a small can of tuna (85 g), and had a piece of brie.

Will have to add evening meal and make adjustments to the day as appropriate.

Afternoon (after getting home) - piece of homemade bark (coconut oil, butter, mixed nuts, cocoa powder)
Scone with peanut butter

Supper: 8 oz tuna steak; tea (sorry, no veggies; I was too full)

I have a question -

I notice a lot of people have shakes for breakfast. Is that standard with the Protein Power Plan? (please forgive me, as I don't have the book - I've been previously following Atkins, but have found such a kindred spirit at this Board, I hope you won't turn me away for such boldness).

[Mitra]

I hope you won't turn me away for such boldness.

It'd be pretty quiet around here if we turned people away for asking questions :D . Ask away!

Having a shake for breakfast is not particularly part of the PP recommendations, it's just that a lot of people find it a quick and easy way to get adequate protein at breakfast. I don't often have shakes, because I don't eat protein powders, and I like food I can chew. It's just a personal choice.

[Ottawa]

Mitra,
Just blend the fruit less and you can still chew it.:lol:

I still find a Whey Protein Shake with a bit of yogurt or heavy cream and some fruit, my favorite breakfast. It's also an easy way to maximise protein. I am at 135 - 140 grams/day and often go over. If I didn't snack and wanted my simple breakfast to be a protein power meal (50 grams protein), which I do, I would have to eat 5+ eggs.

Signed ...
Whey Protein Forever ... :o

Oops, forgot to post ... bummer day anyway. :(

1. LC chicken alfredo.
2. Barbeque chicken, plus a mango smoothie I won in a contest and should've had the sense to give away to somebody else. 100g of carb just in that. :(
3. LC chicken alfredo leftovers.

I need to work on improving my Monday menus, they're always worse than the rest of the week and I'm not sure why. :)
