You!  Eat breakfast, raise blood sugar!  Be happy! Me?  Lots to do today, and I have my @*$& WLS support group tonight.  I'm also making spaghetti for dinner (with whole wheat pasta we bought at Costfco, it doesn't taste like strips of cardboard). Breakfast and lunch will just be EAS protein drinks.  I'll post the actual chow roster later. Kix

I like the Ronzoni whole wheat pasta fairly well - I don't miss pasta much, which is a surprise because I love me some pasta, but I made some Ronzoni for hubby with chicken parm and I had a taste, it actually wasn't bad - no nasty whole wheatyness, which is good because we won like 5 boxes of it from something on melting mama's blog.  That should last a while only cooking for 1 person!  Strips of cardboard - very apt. 

Hi Cranky!  I'm not a morning person so I waited to post until later today Breakfast :  South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal Bar    10 g protein & 140 cal Snack: 1/2 cup kashi go lean crunch cereal 4 oz skim milk     9 gram protein & 115 cal lunch:  Wow new mediterranean restaurant just opened down the street from the Theatre and I ventured in.  Got a Gyro platter.  Ate 4 strips of gyro meat.  4 bites of tabouleh and 2 small pieces of feta cheese & 1/4 of a pita bread.  Who knows on the calories or the nutritional content.  I'll have to go on a search for that.    Approxiimately 7 g protein & 320 calories Snack:  3 York Peppermint Patty SF  60 cal & fun gas for the rest of the day for free! Dinner:  Roast Pork cooked on the grill & sauteed squash  200 cal & 20 gram protein Snack:  unjury chocolate shake   28 g protein 230 cal Ok, so I just checked and the gyro meat isn't the best choice for eating, but it tasted great.  Must have a bunch of filler in it since it's lamb pork & beef I think.  Totals Protein  74 g Calories  1055 approximately
