two eggs
chicken sausage (red pepper and garlic)
a few slices of Gruyere
Comments:
Today I might limit carb intake. I haven't decided completely yet, so I figured I'd at least do it for breakfast.
The chicken sausage is new. It's really good. I'm going to have to find it locally. I don't think I would want it every day like I do bacon, but it's a fantastic substitute.
Meal #2 1pm
bbq turkey tenderloins
steamed broccoli and carrots
1/2 avocado
apple with almond butter
Comments:
I walked for almost an hour and a half and then decided to do my dynamic workout before I ate. Now I'm unbelievably hungry.
I added the apple and almond butter about 20 minutes after I ate the rest because I was still really hungry.
Snack #1 3pm
celery sticks with sheep's cream cheese (with lavendar and honey) and raspberries
chocolate
apple skins
Comments:
The celery sticks are a weird concoction. I ended up eating the raspberries separately. The chocolate just sounded good and I'm working on will power. Only way to do that is just to keep testing it. The apple skins are because Allergy Boy always wants me to peel the skin off his apples and I realized today I wasn't going to waste the amazing farmers market apples. So now I'm getting extra nutrients.
Meal #3 4:45pm
pot roast with celery, carrots and onions
Comments:
I don't know if this constitutes an actual meal or not. Had it been an actual meal, I would have expected it to tide me over for a longer period of time. As it was, I was just trying to avoid actual snacking before I had a chance to make dinner.
Meal #4 6:30pm
tuna with homemade mayo, dill and celery
pepper slices
mock salad thingy with:
Romaine lettuce
sauteed carrot and ground beef in bacon fat
topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa and olives
Comments:
I was just being weird with dinner, I guess. I wanted to try out tuna with dill, but then I didn't have any mayo and then I made some and it's just okay. The tuna salad was pretty good though with everything mixed together. The peppers really helped pull everything together, but probably just because I really like peppers. Good texture combo though.
The salad start out as something else and kind of morphed its way into this pseudo taco salad. I intended on using the bacon fat as dressing again, but wanted to warm it up first so I sauteed the carrots in it, but then I saw the sour cream and salsa in the fridge. Then I noticed the all ready cooked (unseasoned) ground beef and decided I'd use up some leftovers. Thus, became another odd concoction. It's really good though, but could use crunchy chips and tomatoes that I can't have (and I'm already pressing my luck with the salsa).
Snack #2 7:45pm
6 Go Raw cookies
Comments:
I just wanted something crunchy.
Snack #3 9:15pm
pepper and avocado slices
banana slices topped with almond butter and coconut
Comments:
It's late and I'm hungry. I didn't want to eat anything really dense though. I don't have any hard boiled eggs and I vetoed more cheese. I know I'm interested in limiting the almond butter, but I'm just so tired. The thought of putting more though into food today didn't sound appealing. I cut the banana into thick chunks and just put the almond butter on top. I think it's probably less almond butter overall.
The pepper/avocado slices are so good. This is the best pepper I've had in awhile and the avocado is perfectly ripe. They are almost better than the bananas.

I'm going to start eating more vegetables with a low glycemic index. I'm experimenting. It really doesn't make that much of a difference because I usually eat the low GI ones anyway, but I'm going to be much more vigilant. Part of my experimenting this week is watching my carbohydrate intake. I'm still ridiculously busy this week—catching up from last week and still doing garage sale stuff this week—but this is my intention anyway.
I have a bunch more clean meat in my fridge and I'm excited to shop for some new vegetables to go along with it.
Along with an added intake of low GI vegetables (as well as vegetables in general) I'm going to start limiting my nut intake. I rely on them as quick backup food and I end up utilizing them for more than just for "backup" moments. If I better prepare, I won't have to do that. If that means eating more protein and vegetables, I'm okay with that. I'll have to add more sources of fat to compensate, but that'll just take some research and then acting accordingly. It shouldn't be a big deal.
