I got teeth pulled and can't eat anything solid or crunchy for the next 3 days. I need some healthy ideas of what I can eat.

    Greek yogurt (yogurt in general)
    Smoothies/shakes
    Soups and some stews and chilis
    Maybe cottage cheese? (small curd)

    eggs omelets, over easy, poached, scrambled or sunny side up
    jello
    mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes
    oatmeal
    protein shakes or fruit or yogurt smoothies
    pureed vegetables
    soup or cream soup just make sure it's not hot

    Why is eating mac & cheese at a caloric deficit not 'diet friendly,' exactly?

    Mashed sweet potatoes, mashed (really) cooked cauliflower, smoothies galore. I'm also a big fan of the scrambled egg.

    Just remember to avoid straws if you drink a smoothie (or anything else.)

    I make Mac n Cheese along with other pasta and cheese dishes often. I had pasta salad last night for dinner and again for lunch today. I had all I wanted both times and was still in my calorie range. Pasta has always been on my diet plan and I have managed to lose a little weight.

    Pasta and cheese is good stuff!
