Bariatric Friendly Breakfast & Lunch and Snack meals
I was told by my Doctor for a normal person working out 3-5 days a week for 45 min. - 1 hour, 1200 calories is sufficient. Yep, we have to workout. That's our normal. This is to insure we don't gain inches, keep toned and develop endurance. As keeping up with the kids, hiking, climbing the 200 Step Lighthouse, gardening and running around all day etc.
Ask your Doctor because depending on how much you exercise and what kind of exercise routine you are doing it might be different for you.
For the 1200 Calories a day, I try and split those calories into 4 - 5 meals a day.
Drink liquids- Water, Water with Lemon, Hot or cold Tea at least 1/2 before and 1/2 after each meal.
Using My Fitness Pal App is easy to figure out how many calories and what we can eat for the day.
I try to input my meal the night before. That helps me stay on track and if I have to change it up then I know how many calories I have left if changing.
Each meal is about as big as your palm or, 1 cup of food, or 4 oz. at each meal.
Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Dinner and Snack
or
Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack and Dinner. (if you eat dinner later in the evening then no snack afterwards) Should not eat 2-3 hours before you go to bed.
For my main meals I try to have up to 300 calories.
My breakfast is not always a breakfast meal as Eggs etc. it can be a chicken salad. Just as long as you get in your Protein at least 80 grams a day and stay within 1200 calories your fine. and if you are hungry in between drink lots of water. if that doesn't fix it then eat a salad. You just don't want to eat too much at one time and over stuff yourself.
Below are some ideas. These are what I usually eat.
