Does anyone have an open diary that doesn't consist of a bunch of "meal replacement" shakes? I am looking for meal ideas but a lot of diaries I look at have shakes/smoothies for 1-2 of their meals. My calories allowed are approx 1700 daily but can add/remove from the ideas I get. I wouldn't mind maybe trying the shakes at some point but don't think I could do it everyday. Thanks for any help.

    Mine should be open. I don't do shakes normally - good protein powder is too expensive for me to buy regularly. My diet is not 100% "clean" but I get in a decent amount of protein and nutrients most of the time.

    Mine is open, though I can guarantee that I don't eat 100% clean or healthy. But if you want ideas it's there. My goal before working out is to net 1694. The last few days have been pretty bad, I'll admit. I let my chocolate cravings get the best of me (TOM). Good luck :) I drink shakes occasionally, but not as meal replacements. I did make one that I couldn't manage to eat anything with, but it was extremely high calorie (peanut butter, greek yogurt, ect). I've only made it once though and couldn't even finish it when I did. :laugh: But I don't do things like that on a normal basis.

    Mine should be open. I don't do shakes, they just don't satisfy me....maybe the occasional smoothie

    Open to friends.
    I have a protein shake after strength training, along with poached egg, grilled bacon etc.
    I rarely only have a shake as a breakfast item on its own. Only if I have a call immediately after getting back from the gym ...
    I typically eat between 1400-1600 in a day and I can manage a couple of post training shakes in a week with no issue, alongside real food.

    Try some ricotta or cottage cheese instead. Ricotta is whey protein, and cottage cheese is casein. I don't do powders either, I prefer natural.

    feel free to look at mine. the last few days have been a bit odd, been sick

    ETA I do have some shakes, but they aren't for meal replacement. strictly after workouts. some are 2 servings for doing 2 hours on the elliptical.

    Mine is open, I eat all sorts, never use shakes - I like real food!! Not probably healthy in that I use butter, eggs, eat cake, fish and chips - but have lost 27 kgs :happy:

    I have shakes as one of my snacks these days. I cook clean, today I was stuck and had Chinese for lunch (hard to log unfortunately) but if you look back over the previous week it is very yummy and fresh :) I am at 1600net now
