I actually dont think you're eating enough, there isn't very much protein in there, could you maybe try and have some ham (not processed) for your lunch with some beetroot & low fat coleslaw and maybe have the crackers for your breakfast, I dont think fruit is enough for your breakfast, should you not have something more stable
have a bowl of cereal or maybe a poached egg/scrambled egg & beans or something, fruit is good for you but you couldn't survive on it you need something else. You could find if you eat a better breakfast you wont need a snack before lunch. Dont take my word as gospel I just know I wouldn't be able to survive on what you had I would be starving!!Kate x
HI, I think you have plenty f protein via the cheese that you are eating and the chicken. However you don't have any carbs. Although we need to keep these to a minimum you need to make sure you have carbs. I tend to have my carbs (potato, rice or pasta) after I have exercised as it help convert it to energy rather than fat. I agree with Kate that if you have something more at breakfast you wont need to snack but then what you are having as a snack is only the same as you would have a breakfast cals wise so if it is working for you then great.
I worry more about those people having shakes for breakfast and lunch. These are slider foods and with the band you should only be having clear or sugar free liquids. ALL foods should be dense and provide restriction. That is just my opinion but I stay well clear of liquids and sauces meals because of this.

Neen, im sure Sue wasn't having a go at you, if it works for you then so be it but we were told as banders to stay away from slider foods as they cheat the band and can cause us to put on weight as we wont feel full.
Its up to others if they want to copy what we eat, we dont tell them to, I eat what I want not what others eat, I just post on here as its a food diary for me and if I happen to put on weight I can look back on here to see what I have eaten but thankfully that hasn't happened yet also others can get some ideas from what I eat as I make alot of homemade stuff about 90% of my diet is homemade the rest is milk, dilute, cheese, bread etc. I personally wouldn't have shakes for breakfast or lunch as i'd be starving in no time, I need a good breakfast to keep me going so there is no way a shake would satisfy me but if it satisfies you then thats fine
I am not having a go at you or anyone hun. This forum is for everyone. Like I said it was my opinion based of what I have been advised and what works for me.
You have made it clear it is working for you so you should continue to do that.
My food choices are based on that fact that this is my eating habbits for life aided by the band I have tried all the fad diets and I always put weight back on. I need to make sure that I eat a healthy balance diet that is dense and works for the band. What my daily diet is now will be the same in 20 years.
Sorry if my comments upset you but they were not aimed at anyone in particular.

I agree that I need a few more carby things to fill me up more. baked beans usually do the trick so will have those today.
I think that if shakes work for you then go for it. I dont have them because I know I dont like them but thats a personal thing. Like marmite, if you will.

I often have slim fasts as meal replacements, this is because if I didnt have one I wouldnt be having anything. I might be on a long journey through work or be stuck in an office all day away from home. I really enjoy them and find that they do the trick filling me up until my next meal.
If they work for you too Neen as meal replacements, stick with them!
Anyway back from my hols but yesterday I had:
Breakfast: 1 quorn sausage bit of scrambled egg and spoon of beans
Lunch: Salmon salad with honey and mustard dressing
Tea: Kung Po king prawns - yummmmmyyy, ate about 1/3rd, was on holiday!

Lunch: 1 slice of ham, 1 baby beetroot, 1 tbsp of potato salad & 2 tbsp pasta bake (all on a tea plate) it was yummy
Dinner: 1 onion bhaji, 4 tbsp pilau rice and 4 tbsp of pathia sauce, 1 tiny piece of chicken (on a tea plate) it was nice but wasn't really nice to chew to a paste so wont be rushing to get it again
