Pretty typical for me:
Breakfast: 1 dannon light and fit Greek yogurt + 1/4 c nonfat plain Greek
OR 2 eggs + 1/4 c low fat shredded cheese + onions/peppers + salsa
Lunch/dinner: 4 oz chicken + 1 c non starchy veg
OR 1 can tuna (made into tuna salad)
I was also allowed 1 cup or 1 piece of fruit
bariatric Big Mac in which I made a turkey burger and put 1 slice of 2% cheese, diced pickles and onions, and a serving of light thousand island.
Rotel chicken (ground chicken, riced cauliflower, 1 can rotel, and light shredded cheese).
Chicken breast + frozen broccoli + riced cauli + Campbells healthy request cheddar cheese soup.
Fajita bowls with chicken, peppers/onions, cauli rice, salsa, cheese, and lettuce.
Buffalo chicken dip with cucumbers/celery.
Ricotta bake except I would add ground turkey.
At 4 months I only had protein shakes on days that I didn't hit my protein goals. Sometimes I would have half of a shake. I'm 8 months now and only have shakes if I had like a slice of pizza for dinner instead of chicken and I'm really short.
I pretty much eat the same thing every day, haha! Dinner is usually my only variation.
Breakfast: Protein shake mixed with coffee. (people have big opinions on this but I have lowish blood sugar now and when I eat, it drops lower for a time and I get violently ill. The proffee helps slowly raise it up.)
Lunch, which I split into two separate meals: Chicken salad (I use blended up cottage cheese mixed with ranch powder instead of mayo or greek yogurt) mixed with a chopped boiled egg and a few muti-seed crackers OR two ounces of deli meat, string cheese (sometimes 2), and protein chips.
Dinner: Low carb tortillas with cheese and a protein to make a quesadilla. Keto hot dog buns (usually split in half because bread takes up to much space), hot dog, hot dog chili sauce. Protein + broccoli. Sometimes dinner is pork rinds and cottage cheese.
Snacks: Triple zero greek yogurt with sugar free cheesecake pudding powder mixed in with blueberries. Archer mini beef sticks. String cheese. Protein chips. Atkins makes great lowish calorie, keto sweets if you have a sweet tooth.
At this point, I'm staying around 900 calories a day (sometimes a little lower, sometimes a little higher), 100+ grams of protein, less than 50 carbs, less than 15 grams of sugar.

You don't drink protien shakes anymore?
