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.

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.

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.

What the F is even your point? Don’t eat the way I do. Fine with me. OP asked for critique and I gave it to her. Where are your suggestions the “smart one.” Idiot!

I can barely look at a lentil without cringing. How are you all eating so many lentils??

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).

What app do you use?

Way too low on protein, B vitamins, and K2. You also eat too little.

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.

Nope, not even close. With that exercise program and a 1800 calorie diet (which I seriously doubt this is unless the portions are huge), OP should be eating at least 120g of 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.

How much protein is needed?

Around .8 grams of protein per pound of body weight, especially because OP posted again that she works out 6x a week. There is another thread in the last day or so where a woman is baffled that her body is changing shape - I do not think enough women in their 30s-40s-50s understand the importance of eating enough protein to sustain a healthy amount of muscle, which your body will begin to lose as you age. Getting enough protein is REALLY important . I weigh 104 lbs so if you multiply that by .8, you get about 85g of protein a day. Op is 5’2 so anywhere from 104-120 lbs most likely . She needs between 85-120g of protein a day in that range. Her posted meal plan has NOWHERE near that. She’s probably around 40g total.

Whatever app it is, don’t use it. It’s really off. Everyone who pays attention knows 1 hard boiled egg is 6 grams, not 12. That PP didn’t catch some of this shows, she’s not knowledgeable

OP with the app here. I input two boiled eggs on accident (it's the default since that's what I eat). My bad all! The app is not to blame... it's Cronometer, and it uses USDA databases instead of user-reported data.

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.

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.

NP. Well, now we're critiquing yours. Canned soup is gross and not real food. It's the definition of an ultra-processed food.

I didn't ask you to though. So get lost.

Also, you're really dumb if you think that a can of soup full of beans and lentils is "ultra-processed." You're just dumb so you rely on personal attacks.

Exactly. A can of Progresso Mediterranian Lenils is a far cry from Campbells cream of mushrooms.

Why don’t you make your own bean soup? It’s so easy. You sound lazy.
