Nothing Diet About It
So said the ad on TV for Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. I don't have a TV but it was on at the gym, and as much as I hate to look at it, it's eye-catching.
Today was another good food day, though for some reason it's coming out a bit lower fat than I had thought it would, with P:C:F = 37:36:27. I guess when I added in coffee (I drink it black but it has niacin so I add it) and wheat bran that upped my carbs and lowered my fat. Who would have thought of black coffee, nothing in it, as carby?
The day was so quotidian as to bore you to death, but here goes anyway:
Before breakfast:
Same supplement chaser as always
Breakfast:
the usual, but with one fat free cheddar single and no mushrooms cause I'm out
Between breakfast and lunch:
coffee, green tea, decaf black tea
Lunch:
kale and mustard green salad, olives, yogurt with salsa verde. just like yesterday. and the day before. and...
Afternoon snack:
Organic strawberry yogurt with sixty calories almonds
Dinner:
Trader Joe's nonfat cottage cheese with flax oil and Carolina Treet, the world's most amazing sauce! Brewers yeast soup with just cauliflower, 200 g. 76 more g olives. Those olives are an expensive hobby!

Not bad at all. I should probably cut back on that fat free cheddar single with breakfast on days when I eat cottage cheese, cause I'm well over the RDA of calcium and I have a ton of protein, so I could use the calories for things with panto acid, magnesium, or just plain fat. Did somebody say olives???
Another busy day, but I did fit in a trip to the gym after work. After leaving the office that is... I've been working ever since I got home and am about to write up an agenda for an organizing meeting. One of my readers asked how I manage to blog so much even though I am busy, and the secret is that I really like to hear myself talk, but with MR out of the country and no one much to talk to at home, hearing myself type is second-best. I also write all the entries in my head while I'm doing other things like driving or showering or working out, so when I get to the computer I just spit them out. I also often take a moment to blog if I take a short lunch break at work. I shove kale into my face while I write, which means that I get a face covered in yogurt and salsa verde, but it's good for the skin I'm told.
Tomorrow I have my weekly lunch meeting with Edward, my boss, unless he has to cancel due to swampedness. Then I'm off to Center City for a meeting with some nurses. I may try to hit the gym before work since it's unclear what time my late afternoon meeting will end. In any case, I will endeavor to get as many nutrients in as few calories as possible!

Fat free cheese.... *shudder*. How about a half or three-quarter sized portion of real cheese with tons more flavor, like parmesan? And of course I don't mean the kind from the green can....
Or blue cheese.... or goat cheese. Yummy and tangy.
