That's too low carb.

Not OP, but I see an egg, peanut butter, chickpeas and lentils on that menu. Depending on OP's size and needs, this could be more than enough protein.

Peanut butter is a fat source and chickpeas are carb and fat mostly. Lentils are also mostly carb - the protein is secondary. An egg is 7g of protein. She doesn’t have enough protein.

I found this Yoplain yogurts that is super high in protein.

This is what I do:

breakfast one HB egg, Yoplait Yogurt (16 grams of protein) and a banana.

Lunch (today) Progresso soup, Mediterranian Lentil 24 grams of protein. I add a cup of peas to it for volume and some green. Kiwi, blueberries.

Snack - 1/4 cup almonds (7 grams of protein)

Dinner: baked salmon, and farro salad (I cook it in chicken stock and add cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, artichokes, edamame, parsley and lemon).

No desert.

Lol, criticizing someone else's menu and then admitting that yours includes cheap canned soup.

Breakfast: black coffee and 1 hardboiled egg = 158 cal / 13g protein

Snack: 2 apples and 3tbs peanut butter = 444 cal / 12 g protein

Lunch: 1 whole wheat + flax pita, with 1/2 cup hummus, 1/2 avocado and 1 cup spinach = 570 cal / 20g protien

Dinner: Lentil veggie stew (lentils, spices, carrots, potatoes, etc) = ~300 cal / 15g protein

Dessert: homemade chocolate chip banana bread = ~300 cal / 5g protein

Daily total = 1775 calories / 65 g protein

I am NOT an expert but if you are asking for random people on the internet to weigh in then I will agree with others that your protein is low, and a pattern of this could lead to muscle loss over time. I should note that your fiber intake was great!... but you were lacking in a lot of vitamins FWIW (Iron, Calcium, Vit C, folate, and potassium were all at around 60-70% of daily targets).

How black coffee and one boiled egg have 158 calories? 1 egg is 70 calories and black coffee is probably 10 calories, unless op adds a lot of sugar.

Lol, hey dumbass, there is nothing wrong with a can of Progresso for lunch.

Also, she literally said "Critique my sample day of eating" but I know comprehension and reading are not your strenghts.

+1000

Try this high sodium canned soup instead, and added sugar yogurt (or fauxgert) because maybe it has fewer carbs than potatoes? LOLOLOL

Added sugar, processed soy, and nearly 1500mg of sodium in one can of that soup? No thanks.

Maybe Google shit before you spew nonsense. 0% added sugar in the Yoplait I mentioned. I’m not worried about sodium since my BP is super low. What processed soy?

Either way, who the hell is forcing you to eat the way I do? I lost 60 lbs doing what I’m doing. You do you boo.

1 egg has only 6 grams of protein, I'd add 2 and maybe some chicken sausage or turkey bacon and skip the snack and dessert. Spacing out eating can be very helpful to lose weight, try eating bigger more protein centric meals.

Looks pretty good OP, are you satisfied on this menu? Obviously portion size makes a huge difference. For me, it is way too high carb to feel sated and be in a calorie deficit.

[Anonymous]

Looks pretty good to me, and I am vegetarian. I’d probably add another egg or swap out the eggs for cottage cheese, and add a banana with breakfast. I’d change the snack from apples and peanut butter to whole raw unsalted almonds.

What? Are you one of those crazies who considers apples, carrots, potatoes, and bananas to be "carbs?"

Not op, but I'm diabetic. Those foods can spike blood sugar.

Not PP, but well -- yeah. You can lose weight eating all kinds of processed crap. Doesn't mean it is a good idea -- "boo." Idiot.

This is nonsense. How do you know that OP's protein intake is low? You don't even know their weight, let alone their exercise habits. RDA is .36 grams per pound of body weight. For most people, 65g of protein is going to be good. If you are a 200lb professional athlete, maybe not, but for the rest of us that is plenty of protein and certainly won't lead to "muscle loss."
