protein drinks are expensive, you can custom make them here for super cheap, I'll get that eventually, can custom pick your protein sources as well as flavorings and sweeteners, etc. I made one and it was like under 6$ per lb.:

I'm switching things up too, I started this week. I started to get info a funk, still on plan but don't want to get too routine and my loss started slowing. I increased my cals from 1300 to 1500 again now that I'm exercising, and I have been eating breakfast and dinner as raw meals and lunch as a cooked protein.

For breakfast I have various fresh fruits and nuts. I LOVE pistachios. Everythin gets measured/portioned.

For lunch I have something made from tofu or tvp or something with a grain, like brown rice or quinoa.

For dinner I generally have a GIANT salad with almost every veggie in the fridge, some dressing and sunflower seeds.

I upped my water from 64 oz to 96 oz and this week has been so great, and I've felt really focused. I have lost 2 lbs and it's only wed.

Sometimes switching things up is good. I might do this every two weeks. I mean I eat very healthy to begin with and I'm vegan so eating lots of fruits and veggies isn't foreign, but more of that stuff, and nuts and seeds, is always good. Good luck to you!
