Thus far:
B: Shake (35g pro, 2g carb {not ecc... carb})
S: Bar + 1/2 grapefruit + Chicken Wings (41g protein, 16 ecc)
L: Pork Chop (left over) + 1/2 cup green beans (36g pro, 2g ecc)
S2: Nuts (I have marcona almonds {more protein} and pecans {more anti-oxidants})
D: Chicken in maybe Picatta sauce. Maybe Mojo. Have some Trader Joe Simmer sauces, not sure what I want to try.

Also, have had a ton of fiber from fiber sure. Put a large pour in my shake, my second, third and fourth water bottles (working on 4 right now). We shall see how this works.

I woke up at 2:30, by 3:30 had given up trying to get back to sleep so I got out of bed. Insane timing on my meals as a result but I think I'm back on track now (2:45 pm) since I split my lunch into 2 parts (and ate it at work! yeah for me!)

Breakfast: Shake - 1 scoop chocolate whey, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, ~ 2 tablespoons almond butter (37 P 7 ECC)

Snack: Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom (FKA Carb Freedom) Yogurt - Blackberry cream, 3 ounces cheese (1 each of Kraft cheddar, CoJack and the Australian chedder from WF) (29 P 5 ECC)

Lunch: (eaten in 2 parts as it was cut in half): Wrap - Large LaTortilla Factory Whole Wheat (LC) tortilla, bit of mayo, romaine lettuce, bit of shredded cheddar, 2 ounces Boar's Head roast beef, 2 ounces Boar's Head Oven Gold turkey (28 P 5 ECC)

Snack: 6.5 can water packed tuna, drained w/ mayo, 1/4 C whole almonds (32 P 0 ECC)

Snack part deux: 2 ounces Australian cheese, 1/4 C almonds :rolleyes: , 1 cup chamomile (sp) tea w/ Splenda (14 P 0 ECC)

Dinner (plans at home burgers, broccoli, salad)<--- did not happen - DH was supposed to cook, he was too tired and had to go back to work so he took us out instead. Went to Fatz and had blackened chicken ceasar salad (no croutons). Totally guessing (especially on protein - figuring it was about half a breast) as they won't post their info on their website :( (26 P 0 ECCs) (not counting cheese and lettuce carbs ;) ) I was a very good girl and passed on the poppy seed rolls :D

Post dinner beverage as I'm typing: 1 cup Sleepytime tea w/ Splenda

Totals:

166 protein
17 ECCs


For those that think I need to count the ECCs in the lettuce and cheese and almonds.... I don't think they'd add up to 23 grams (cuz I'd be using 40 max if I was getting that picky) :D Doubt they'd get to 13 really.

Burgers tomorrow night instead!

Here is my daily menu for the 26th.

Breakfast
Scrambled eggs...coffee w/cr.....bacon

Snack
Peanut butter protein balls...tea

Lunch
apple/celery/walnut salad...roast beef...mozzarella stick...pecans

Snack
One min. cinnamon cake and coffee w/cr

Dinner

I feel like I ate all day today for some reason. I did eat more lc treats than I usually do.
Those protein balls are a recipe by ChouBear and are in the protein bar section if anyone wants to try them. They are very easy and also very good.

My wife is away for 5 weeks and although I follow the numbers well I am currently in SlackA-- mode. I did get Cocoa or Chocolate in three times and it contrasted the cabbage.:D
