Such a bummer!! Easy to do when we are focused on them being our MEALS, not just a beverage.

Run out to WalMart and you can get a 4 pack of EAS CarBAdvantage shakes for about $6, or Pure Protein for about $8. Both are also readily available in CVS/RiteAid but tend to run at a much higher cost at those places.

Thank you so much for the tip!!! I will do just that! I am so thankful for all the great support and advice found in this forum!

B: PD honey nut soy cereal, coffee
L: PT creamy mushroom soup, 1c mushrooms, romaine, 1c cucumbers, WF caesar
D: ? going out to dinner (steak or fish), 2c veg steamed, salad with WF
S: HS mint hot cocoa or EAS chocolate fudge

P1:

B: orange wafers & coffee (was supposed to be pancakes but I don't feel like cooking!)
L: 2 cups zucchini & cucumbers; wildberry yogurt drink & 1 bubbies pickle
D: 2 cups broccoli, mushrooms & celery w/6 oz pork & Braggs Aminos
S: Raspberry jelly

Do you have a phase 1 sheet? The egg info is in there, along with the restricted info.

Phase 1

B - ProtiDiet Hot Cocoa/coffee
L - salad and 2 c cucumbers
Sn - Pure Protein pb bar
D - 8 oz shrimp with 2 c roasted brussel sprouts, oil
Sn - cheesecake pudding

Phase 1

B: ip vanilla drink with coffee, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
L: recipe I just got from ip email. Look below!
D: chicken, broccoli, mushroom, pepper, garlic, and ginger stir fry
S: orange wafers

Lunch recipe: mix together 3 ounces drained tuna, small amount of finely chopped celery, tomatoes, jalapeños, mayo, lime juice, salt and pepper. Top with cilantro if desired. Mix together.

This also means I can have 5 ounces of chicken for dinner instead of 8. It's very hard for me to eat 8 ounces of meat in one sitting.

Had the IP vegetable chili for the first time yesterday and all I got to say is GROSS. For sure not my favorite and would have been a lot more satisfied having a non restricted item.

Phase 1
B: Coffee, splash of premade vanilla, stevia pkt + IP Crispy Cereal
L: Salad, Celery, Green & Red Pepper (2C Veggies), Lemon, 1tsp EVOO + IP Cheese & Herb Omelette
S: IP Choc Drink Shake
D: Turkey Burger 8oz, Salad, 2C Veggies, Evoo, Lemon

Turn it into Taco Bell in a Bowl (what I had for lunch today using unrestricted Proti chili)
sauté veggies (mushroom, zucchini, red/green peppers). While sautéing, I also soak chili in the required water heating in micro one minute (helps soften beans). Add chili into veggies and heat six mins or so. I add cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, chipotle Tobasco. Whole thing is poured over romaine salad with raw onions, top w/spoonful of no sugar added salsa and a bit of WF ranch or blue cheese dressing for "sour cream"... Soooooo GOOD!

Hi Lisa! I had the Phase 1 sheet, but I lost it somehow I went online and printed it out again, so I can look at it daily if needed

I do have a question... for some reason, I thought dill pickles were a "free" food, but I just noticed that they are on the "Select" veggies list. So, this means I should count them toward my 4 cups of veggies, correct?

If that's the case (and you're so good with math ), how many grams would equal 1 cup of pickles? I like to cut 1 pickle in half lengthwise, so I'd like to weigh them in grams rather than cutting them up to fit into a 1-cup measuring cup.

Any info would be appreciated!!

** Is my lunch acceptable? I had a whole egg + 3 egg whites in place of an IP packet, but I want to make sure this is okay. Any advice would be helpful!
