Day 4

Today has dawned a dismal and blustery day. Hard to drag myself out of bed. I have no earthly idea what to eat for breakfast. Oh - best weigh myself before eating...gotta keep consistent with that.

Weight: 245.7 (Down 2.3)
BMI: 32.61 (Down 0.32)

Can't complain there. Lets see if it stays consistent. Breatfast....Breakfast... Drop off QM first, getting late. Gah!

So breakfast is a bit of ham fried up in EVOO, then 2 scrambled eggs with 2 tbsp of heavy cream, and 15g of havarti. Would have done more cheese, but the stuff was all melted together and hard to break apart. Fat is a bit low, but only 2 carbs.

For lunch I'm staring at a chicken cesar salad...delish. I think I'm starting to actually enjoy some of these meals. Especially when I get to brown it up in olive oil first.

I found a recipe for a kind of bread made from peanut butter of all things. Allow me some cut & paste magic here:

1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 packet sweetener (optional)

Blend peanut butter and eggs until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients. Pour into a sprayed loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Let cool before slicing.


 And that's all there is to it. Looking at the batter, it looks just like peanut butter. But you stick it in the waffle maker like I did, and within moments, it starts pushing the lid up! Here's a pic (not mine, but really close)

You can also substitute almond butter if you prefer. I calculated this stuff at 0.15g of carbs, per GRAM of prepared. That's of course 15% carbs. Let us compare to the bread i used to eat. Villagio Enriched white bread: 33 grams per 2 slices, or 71 grams.... calculator says... 46.4% Carbs! Hows that for a diet bread?


So of course I ate it with a burger - makes a fantastic bread. You can bake it in a loaf pan and cut it thin to make it travel even further. For now, the waffles will do. 

There it is: everything I ate today, in detail. Went over a bit on protein, but that's not a real big issue. The unfortunate part is the Ratio - would have required 8 TBSP of cream to get it to 4.0, which would have brought me well over 2000 calories. I'll stick with this for today and not feel horrible about it.
