Seriously I'm always low on protein. Anyone have any ideas what I can eat!?

Eggs, kidney beans, chickpeas, nuts, yoghurt, milk and whole grain bread are wonderfull protein sources. I wish I had your problem with low protein intake. My body screams for more, but I hit the limit everyday.

I drink peppermint tea every day (until around ovulation, then stop until AF starts again).

I'm getting most of my protein from skim milk and cheese.

I'm still pretty uncomfortable with the diet, but feel like I'm getting the hang of it a bit more...pulling out my lunchtime coconut water is starting to become a habit, I guess.

I had rice mixed with broccoli and cheese, strawberries, coconut water and a can of pop for lunch. Dinner will be low sodium corn chips, a bit of salsa, skim milk, and an apple.

I feel like my stomach is shrinking! I get so full from a small meal.
Today:
11:30- Starbucks iced coffee with sugar fee vanilla and cream

Lunch 1pm- scrambled eggs (2 whites 1 regular), flour tortilla ( didn't feel like corn), slasa and sour cream. And 4 cookies.

Still not sure what I'm going to eat for dinner!

BTW I quite like doing this food diary thing. I think it helped me last time to keep on track. Let's keep it up ladies!

Today I had a cheat lunch: shrimp tacos from Boston Pizza. I gave DH a few of the shrimp, though, so it really wasn't much of a cheat.

For dinner I had puffed rice cereal with rice milk, 8 marshmallows, and a pear. It was completely disgusting. I never thought I would be proud of myself for eating marshmallows for dinner, but I kind of am...

I had a friend's Hen Party, which was an afternoon tea thing. No idea exactly what calories I had but I think I did really well as I'm exceptionally greedy.

Breakfast - black coffee
Lunch - salad (leaves, roasted squash and onions), potato salad with low fat mayonnaise and French bread.
Afternoon tea - five tiny quiches (one-bite sized), mini chocolate loaf cake, a slice of chocolate cake and two French macarons.
Snack - at the pub afterwards we shared some chips/fries and some bread with artichoke pesto dip.

How long time does your average meal take? Is it bad if a meal takes more than an hour?

Dreamsister, I'm a slow eater. I probably take about an hour to eat sometimes.

Today I had a small amount of spaghetti, a small amount of grated cheese, coconut water, coffee with creamer, a chocolate bar, and some strawberries for lunch.

Dinner will be low sodium tortilla chips with a small amount of salsa, an apple, and a cup of skim milk.

Much less disgusting food today...
