What I ate today on Mounjaro

[Callmejudith]

Thought it might be a nice idea for a thread to log our daily food plus current dose to help each other and newbies with ideas

@IReallyNeedThisToWork don't go there. I eat up to 2 bags a week: it's quite a pricey habit

Yes, make it myself. It's a Ballymoe recipe that I adapt a little bit! I am also considering this for tomorrow www.instagram.com/reel/C86ZvEaqRmo/?igsh=MWoyN215aTdodGM0ZQ==

@SuperBatFace 😋🤤

Week 4 of saxenda. It only really started to kick in about 1 week ago.

Wasn't at all hungry this morning, had lunch about 2.30pm

Bread - 3 small end slices with butter, 2 sunny eggs, salad leaves with mixed seeds and tuna

After that I didn't eat anything except a couple of pcs of dried mango.

For supper I had a small amount of shepherds pie. Didn't feel remotely hungry until after 10pm when I ate it.

Week 6 5mg

B: a sausage, slice of bacon, fried egg and slice of black pudding (said it would be back! 😁)

D: half a steak, leeks with garlic and herb Philly, roast broccoli with chilli and garlic

Can of Diet Coke

Usual vitamins/supplements/green tea/water/clear whey etc

Was NOT hungry at all for dinner but felt I should eat something and DS would have questioned why I wasn't eating if I hadn't. Feeling pretty fab other than the complete lack of appetite!

5mg first dose
B - 1/2 mango; banana; 2 x white coffee
L - , carrot and split pea soup; chicken and veg stir fry; 3 oat cakes with wild garlic pesto
D - small bowl chicken and veg stir fry
Usual Vits and supplements and jug of lemon juice.

Consumed about 1300 kcal but burned 1000 kcal playing a sport. Decided I need to up protein intake and found THIS online.

Back to say that on the 5mg dosage, I haven't lost any weight this week, but my belly is definitely shrinking. I'm lifting weights, doing HIIT and Pilates and playing a ball sport, so a bit disappointed that the scales haven't shifted. I'm hoping it's the 'muscle weighing more than fat' thing going on!

2.5mg, last day of week 2

B: decaf black coffee
L: omelette with leftover sausage, bowl of greek yogurt, strawberries and flax seed
D: chicken with a salad of spinach, grapefruit and avocado, handful of peanuts, square of dark choc

Week 6 5mg

B: 2 poached eggs and asparagus

L: (around 3.30!) chicken stir fry followed by a flat peach

D: not hungry (have a chest infection and feeling rubbish which hasn't helped as the coughing is making me feel sick)

Water, green tea, usual supplements etc

Week 2 Day 6 of 2.5mg.

B: Greek yoghurt with blueberries and raspberries. Coffee.
L: Small slice of sourdough and bowl of carrot and coriander soup. Diet coke.
D: Sea bass, rice, avocado and tomato salad. One mini magnum. 2 small glasses cava.

Appetite definitely increasing today. Glad it's time for my next injection tomorrow.

Are other people still having alcohol?

Excellent thread, supremely useful! It's shown me I need to make more of an effort with my protein, especially as I have some clear whey in the house, and I need to exercise!

Week 1 2.5mg injected Monday eve

Tues:
B: no appetite (but I often try and avoid breakfast)
L: 1/2 a skyr protein mousse, 1/2 portion of nutty muesli, strawberries, raspberries, cherries
D: Protein thin bagel, 60g cooked chicken, salad leaves, cucumber, small amount FF mayo. 1/2 a skyr protein mousse.

Only 35g protein and 540 cals as I had to make myself eat

Weds:
B:
L: skyr protein yogurt
D: Fast 800 ratatouille and halloumi bake, fruit

34g protein 540 cals

Thurs:
B: Nectarine
L: Protein thin bagel, chicken, FF mayo, salad
D: olive oil, stir fry veg, egg noodles, chicken, hoisin sauce

49g protein 830 cals

Fri:
B: Nectarine, strawberries, grapes, raspberries
L: salad with chicken, egg, avocado and buttermilk ranch dressing
D: stir fry veg, egg noodles, chicken, hoisin sauce

49g protein 790 cals

Seeing it all written down like that I need to make a co certed effort to increase protein and my cals somewhat, I may start having 2 egg cups for breakfast and a clear whey (20g protein for about 85cals)

No, I want to but simply gone off it!

I boil a box of eggs at a time then store in fridge, really handy to have.

Yesterday, week 5 - 3.75mg

B - 150g fat free Greek yoghurt mixed with 40g of pistachio Purition

L - Homemade smash burger on brioche roll with salad and coleslaw

D - Chicken and veg passanda with steamed basmati rice

Lots of water, a couple of electrolyte drinks, and a cup of tea with whole milk.

1126 calories / 89.1g protein.

My daily calories on MJ have been anywhere between 800 (when suppression is super strong) to 1300-ish. I don't think eating super low cal will be sustainable for me longer term, so trying to mix it up a bit whilst still staying in a deficit.

B: decaf black coffee

L: out and about with lots of motorway driving so M+S goodies from a services including chicken and slaw roll, prawns with dip, pop chips, peanut protein bar, decaf cappuccino

D: home made protein smoothie, cheese and biscs, handful of peanuts, mango, square of dark choc

DS has come up with a little strength training routine for me and I have done 3 days of that so far, feeling good on it with a bit of walking also.

Week 6 5mg

B: poached eggs and asparagus
D: fast80 chilli, Greek yoghurt and broccoli

Usual supplements, clear whey drink, water, green tea, goodrays cbd drink

L - protein shake

Snack - Greek yogurt, peach, handful of all bran

T - carrot and coriander soup, 2x Scottish oatcakes covered in hummus

Totally not hitting my cals today due to constipation 😝

Yesterday, week 5 - 3.75mg

B - Tea and toast

L - M&S super nutty whole food salad, roasted skinless chicken thigh

D - Roasted skinless chicken thigh, 3 potato wedges, salad

Snack - M&S high protein rice cake with cottage cheese

1080 calories / 64.8g protein
Lots of water, usual supplements and an electrolyte drink.

That salad sounds up my street

I don't know if it's the heat or being busy at work - or just that it's kicking in big style but I have struggled to reach 600 calories today. I've had some quiche (an old SW recipe using just eggs and veg) and some noodles. Probably good after a week off last week, lazing about and socialising with food etc but definitely not sustainable.

The M&S super nutty one? It's absolutely lush! It's quinoa, broccoli, green beans, edamame, almonds, peanuts, and pistachios in a soy and ginger dressing. I could eat it every day!

My absolute favourite lunch!

I’ve been away and so useless on this thread. Will be back tomorrow

Week 3, 2.5mg

B: decaf black coffee
L: pasta with prawns, Greek yogurt with a banana, handful of peanuts, square of dark choc
D: protein shake
S: more peanuts, crackers with Wensleydale

The MJ is having no discernible effect now in terms of suppression, side effects or weight loss, so I'm looking forward to trying 5mg. Slightly nervous about the meantime which includes a DC 18th birthday and our family holiday 😬

B apple, watermelon, tbsp protein yogurt, flax seeds
L chicken salad
D 3 bean chilli, Quinoa, runner beans

Bonus dose of 5 (6.25mg?). 10 weeks in. Currently in a stall but usually losing around 1.5lbs a week with no initial whoosh, so quite a slow loser.

Yesterday, week 5 - 3.75mg

B - 2 x high protein rice cakes with full fat cottage cheese (Longley Farm, of course!) and a large satsuma.

L - Half a pack of Merchant Gourmet Jamaican style mixed grains with a roasted skinless chicken thigh and salad.

D - High protein crispy beef noodles (I had a sixth of this recipe https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5_uwwoIpM6/?igsh=c3VjMGZiYzk4bGgx)

Snack - bag of Tesco Pom Bear rip-offs.

757 calories / 53g protein.

Not a great day, I'd have liked a few more calories and a bit more protein in there, but couldn't eat anything else. My snack could have been better, but I really wanted them!

Hey, can I join?

Feel like I've eaten a lot today:

B: rice cake

L: Banana, watermelon, cheese stick, ham, Aldi Italian crackers.

D: 100g scampi, 2 tbs spoons frozen peas, 120g baby new potatoes, tbs tartare sauce

Now going to have a Guuud frozen yogurt lolly

Total cals 925

Also take loads of supplements, fibre, biotin, collagen, magnesium, vitamin D
