Take time and read "DIET THREAD" in the specific diet and and nutrition forum, also take a look at "grocery list for healthy eating". that forum has loads of info you could use.

Usually easier for most to do. I don't normally recommend MRP's, but in these cases I make an exception. -------------- Strength and Honor!
	2006/02/06, 01:37 AM ditto... you may need to eat more often in smaller quantities(eating the way you did, is similar to what happens after stomach stapling, your stomach is physically smaller and has less space for food)....for example 1600....would be 200 calories 8 times daily.....some of which should be liquid....protein shake in the morning, MRP during the day might be a good idea....soup for lunch is also a good idea...... you may also need to take in smaller than recommended amount of fiber....so that you don't get satiated too quickly...
