At 2 pm I have lunch which is tuna with a dollop of renees mighty Caesar dressing, or 3 fried eggs.

Supper is protein and a bit of veg if I can stomach it.. I have crohns and am flaring right now so veggies are ripping me apart.

I love for snack unsweetened coconut mixed with a dash of splenda. So good znd filling! Also in the heat, liking sugar free freezies.

Such a great idea the coffee and the protein shake mixed!
I too have Crohns Disease :( it's really hard isn't it?!

I also am a fan of salad mix, watermelon, grits, banana popsicles, red seedless grapes, grilled chicken breast with different spices each time to keep it from getting boring, etc.
