My goal is to lose the weight I gained during pregnancy. I'm also a bariatric patient. I would like to see if anyone could share meal plan ideas. I'm currently doing meal replacement protein shakes twice a day but this will not be long term of course. I generally do enjoy eating healthy. Snack ideas would also be helpful! TIA!

    I make usually make the same routing meals throughout the month: Tuna cakes have a lot of protein and aren't high in calories, buffalo chicken wraps, taco bowls with ground turkey and top it with avocado, corn, and tomatoes, italian meatballs ill do i batch of and serve one night with broccoli and then the next day serve in a pita with marinara sauce. Salads are always a solid choice and mix up the toppings and dressing, right now i love Boathouse Farms Creamy Roasted Garlic yogurt dressing. i use it so much.

    Snacks i like greek yogurt, cottage cheese on toast with honey drizzled over the top, avocados and tomatoes with fresh squeezed lemon juice, i make mini pizzas from english muffins or a flat out wrap, toast with an egg or light cream cheese.

    I try to stay in the range of 1.2-1.3k a day, but I bank my left over calories for the weekend when occasionally I don't log at all. Most days I do stick within those parameters though. My diary is open so feel free to add me or take a look if you like.

    I eat the same foods I always did just in appropriate portion sizes for my goal. My diary is open.

    Breakfast- Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit (about 200-300 calories)
    Lunch- sandwich, salad, or dinner leftovers (about 300-500 calories)
    Dinner- something different every night of the month. (about 500-600 calories) I have soup once a week usually.
    Snacks- things like fruit, chips, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate, cookies, granola bar, carrots, celery, broccoli, trail mix, deviled eggs, pickles (about 100-300 calories)
    I post recipes and my monthly meal plan on my blog. https://lounmoun.wordpress.com/

    I find food ideas on Pinterest a lot.

    For me- no breakfast. Lunch is high volume veg salad around 250 calories with laughing cow cheese, hot sauce, and tuna in water. I get a 200 calorie snack if I'm going to the gym in the evening. Dinner is around 400 calories and is usually shirataki with nutritional yeast, meat, and veg. Dessert is low calorie ice cream, protein fluff, or a protein shake.
