A Daily Menu for week 1

Week: 1

My prescription (that is what they call the plan each of us is under) states that I will be on a ‘partial meal-replacement’ plan. What does this mean? It means I don’t eat regular meals, and in place of them I get to have those really groovy shakes.

My caloric goals are to take in between 1500 and 1675 calories. With about 50% of those coming from protein, 20 to 25% from fats and 20 to 25% from carbohydrates.
My fat gram goals are to have between 33 g and 53 grams.

This is what yesterday looked like:

Breakfast:

1 Chocolate Metabolic Nutrition Protein Shake (130 cals, 1 g fat, 17 g carbs, 14 g protein)
.5 Cups of Rasberries (30 cals, 0 g fat, 8 g carbs, 1 g protein)
1 tablespoon of peanutbutter (95 cals, 8 g fat, 3 g carbs, 4 g protein)

Totals: 248 Calories
9 g Fats
25 g Carbs
18 g Protein

Morning Snack
** it’s anything but a snack.

1 Chocolate Metabolic Nutrition Protein Shake (130 cals, 1 g fat, 17 g carbs, 14 g protein)
.5 Cups of Rasberries (30 cals, 0 g fat, 8 g carbs, 1 g protein)

Totals: 160 Calories
1 g Fats
25 g Carbs
15 g Protein


Lunch:

7 ozs Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, grilled. (327 cals, 7g fat, 0 carbs, 62 g protein)
1 Chocolate Metabolic Nutrition Protein Shake (130 cals, 1 g fat, 17 g carbs, 14 g protein)
8 oz of coffee (5 cals, 0 g fat, 1 g carbs, 0 g protein)
**note to self. Coffee and medicine shakes do not taste anything like a mocha. This was painful to stomach. Never try this in the future!

Totals: 462 Calories
8 g Fats
18 g Carbs
76 g Protein

Afternoon Snack

1 Chocolate Metabolic Nutrition Protein Shake (130 cals, 1 g fat, 17 g carbs, 14 g protein)
.5 Cups of Rasberries (30 cals, 0 g fat, 8 g carbs, 1 g protein)

Totals: 160 Calories
1 g Fats
25 g Carbs
15 g Protein


Dinner:

1 20/20 Chicken Soup Mix (140 cals, 3 g fat, 16 g carbs, 13 g protein)
6 ozs Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, grilled. (280 cals, 6g fat, 0 carbs, 53 g protein)
(I cut up the chicken and add it to the hot ‘chicken soup protein shake) so it can be eaten like chicken soup. This is actually not too bad.

TOTAL for DAY:

1545 Calories (100%)
36 g Fats (22%)
111 g Carbs (26%)
192 g Protein (52%)


Being on day 4 now, I’ve had 20 meal-replacement protein shakes so far. I haven’t come to like them, but unlike yesterday and the day before I’m not thinking as much about hurling when I make the next one. I’ll take this as a sign of progress.
