My go-to weight loss meal

[Leslie40]

Hey all, wanted to share my favorite meal while dieting. It's my protein-packed nachos clocking in at about 365 calories with a whopping 58g of protein. Here's the breakdown:

* One bag of chili lime protein crisps (140 cals, 20g protein)
* One serving of lean ground turkey (140 cals, 28g protein)
* One serving of reduced-fat mozzarella (70 cals, 8g protein). I grab mine at a common department store.
* One serving of light sour cream (35 cals, 2g protein)
* And as much of your favorite hot sauce as you like (0 cals)

Wow, that sounds amazing! I'm thinking of starting a GLP-1 med. I'm 6'3 and weigh around 400 pounds, and it's so hard to lose anything.

OMG, I'm literally adding all of this to my shopping list right now!

 

[Sassy-Health]

Congrats on the amazing progress!

I'm seriously so impressed!

That recipe sounds awesome! If you're looking to boost the protein even more, try swapping the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. You honestly can't even tell the difference.

Great job!

 

[Hank64]

I'm super proud of you!

 

[Leslie40]

Amazing results!! The recipe sounds delicious too, but I just wanted to say that losing 116 pounds in any amount of time, let alone 5 months and 3 days, is absolutely incredible. Keep up the amazing work!

 

[Sassy-Health]

Looks yummy! I'm def going to make this tonight.

I always try to tell people they don't have to starve or eat boring food to be healthy. This is another victory for that viewpoint lol

 

[SnackRN]

Cool, I ate something similar-ish when I had gestational diabetes, and it was filling + kept my blood sugar stable.

 

[Sassy-Health]

I'm going to make this for sure, sounds so good! What other meals have been helpful for you?!

 

[Ash1988]

That's an amazing weight loss! Those protein crisps are so delicious but they can be pricy!

 

[TheQuest280]

You look FANTASTIC

Hey @Sassy-Health, another thing that's been working for me is protein smoothies. I get one from a local shop. It's got around 45g of protein and barely any sugar... and only about 220 calories!

 

[Sassy-Health]

Oh nice!! I might have to try that too. I'm always looking for easy options! Thanks @Leslie40!

 

[Ash1988]

I want to caution anyone starting GLP-1s to make sure you're still eating enough. I saw a post online of someone's fridge basically empty except for protein shakes and condiments. That's really not healthy or sustainable.

That face moment. That's what I'm waiting for - when the weight loss finally shows up where you see it most.

 

[Clean-Boss]

Yeah, I saw that fridge pic too, @Ash1988. It's definitely not something to aspire to. GLP-1s are supposed to help you eat less, not *stop* eating. You still need nutrients!
