What I Ate Today on Mounjaro - back for round 3!

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

With only a tiny bit of space left on the last thread, here’s a new one!

For accountability, inspiration and support, not judgement!

B: decaf black coffee
L: sourdough toast with goats cheese and smoked salmon. Protein yogurt with raspberries
D: unbelievably delicious food in a Korean restaurant in Soho omgeeee. Kimchi pancake, beef dumplings, veg dumplings, bulgogi beef. Two pints of beer. And an old habit post pub, packet of beef hula hoops and a double decker. Absolutely stuffed and not even that sorry 😅

Week 65, day 6, 5mg, dose 4 (maintenance)
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon, slice of wholegrain rye toast
L: cowboy caviar, an apple
D: fast800 chicken curry with peppers and spinach, an apple
S: a seeded thin and some cheddar, 4 orange cream chocolates 😬
Usual supplements, green tea, 3 litres of water

W2 D4, 2.5mg

B: Huel
L: cucumber and chickpea salad with peri peri chicken pieces
D: Fast 800 chicken breast in prosciutto.
S: 3 garlic-stuffed green olives.

Supplements, camomile and anise tea, 2.5l water.

I have to stay up late to buy tickets with a midnight release, so I might have some yogurt later if I'm hungry. Or the leftovers from dinner because I didn't manage a full portion.

Going to try and post on here more - I’m nearly at maintenance and need to keep my head in the game!

wk 25 5 mg

Fasted until 11:30
B: Pip n Nut peanut butter bar, blueberries and raspberries, Americano with coconut milk

L: leftover pesto lentils with feta, small portion of homemade cottage cheese protein bread

D: frittata with asparagus and cheddar on top

S: Lidl protein ice cream bar - can’t decide if I like these or not!!

cycled to and from work

W2 D5 2.5mg

B:Huel
L: red cabbage coleslaw with chickpeas in; the leftovers from yesterday's chicken (peri peri and prosciutto-wrapped); 2 liquorice wheels that I found in my handbag and saved for pudding.
D: sausage tray bake, collagen hot chocolate.
S: peach yogurt with raspberries and chia seeds; 2 ryvita with hummus.

I was over my calories and fat, and paid the price in a bout of night-time diarrhoea. Although that might also have been the collagen, which I have decided is very much not worth persevering with. I'll try some marine collagen to see if that is any better.

@Incognitoburrito88 oohh, pesto lentils sound yummy. How do you make them please??

They are really easy - I used feta instead of the Parmesan because I can’t get veggie Parmesan… major apologies for the daily fail link but it’s a Fast800 recipe that was published on here…

Well I’ve been away staying in a hotel all week and working, quite stressy. So my eating has not been as controlled as usual, shall we say. I will see what I can remember..

Weds: Waitrose prawn salad thing, crisps, melon pot, cinema salted popcorn, Nando’s chicken burger, fries and coleslaw

Basically large amounts of food eaten in response to stress instead of hunger and a lot of it not very good for me. The good news is I have only gained 1.8 lbs, still well within my maintenance Zone of Acceptability, I’m home again and hopefully back on track today 🤞
