What's mootopia?  I see you drink it all the time.

Its a lactose-free skim milk with about double the protein and calcium as regular milk.  Unfortunately its only available from a grocery chain exclusive to Texas.  It is my best friend for getting protein in, 14g per 8oz. 

Well you know variety is the spice of life, Now if i could just convince Jerry of that lol   B=coffee skim milk L=chili with 4 hundred thousand crackers s=handful of nuts  D=bean salad S=light n fit yogurt  I have your stuff together and i'll send it out tomorrow. I was going to send it out today but I put um in the wash because I didn't figure you would like my cat hair as much as I do lol

i thought hungry days were behind me....

B purepro shake

L 11 oz chili low fat very little meat

S 12 maltezers, 3 hovis biscuits

D beef jerky, thai black rice salad with hemp hearts

S small pc xtra olde cheddar, 3 melba toasts

1 cup skim milk, 1 full fat cookie

But hey here's the recipe for the black rice salad:

finely chop, 1 red pepper, 1 red chili or a jalapeno, 1 bunch scallions.  Throw on this 4 tablespoons rice vinegar (or mild vinegar less than 5% acetic acid by volume), 2 tbsp 40% reduced salt soysauce, and 1-2 teaspoons Splenda.  Add 1.5 cups cooked thai black rice (about .5 cups unccooked). Next add an avocado-cubed. I also added about 1 tsp fresh ginger and the same of minced garlic - these are optional.

Serve this on a bed of chopped romaine (1-2 cups) add .5 cups of rice salad and sprinkle 2 tbsp of hemp hearts (high in protein 7g and omega fatty acids). 

A nice change from meat meat meat and soup. 

 

That salad sounds very good and I understand getting tired of meat.  I was raised vegetarian and although I eat meat I've never had to eat it so regularly.  Every now and again I have a vegetarian day just to break it up. 

I wish we had Mootopia here in CO.  There are days when all I want is a glass of milk, but it's not worth the calories for such a small return on protein. Here's what I ate today.  Again, I'm too tired/lazy to actually look up the calories.  B: 4 slices tasty bacon, 2 slices whole grain toast, 2 cups decaf.  E: walked from Larimer Square to the State Capitol and back to Larimer Square  S: 1 venti decaf.  E2: ran a boatload of errands that requires lots o'walking.  L: homemade buffalo cheeseburger (6 oz ground buffalo, 1 slice cheese on whole grain bun).  S: 1 EAS AdvantEdge protein bar D: another buffalo cheeseburger (6 oz buffalo, 1 slice cheese on two slices of 45 calorie whole grain bread). My hands are itching tonight, it's driving me batty.  I need a holistic cure, I'm tired of using cortisone cream when it doesn't really work.  I wonder if something in the protein bar triggered it.
