Looks good. Wings and blue cheese dip. Yum!

 

Ugh 4,000mg of calcium may be a bit much (feeling a little crampy).  I think I'll dial back to 5 batches and 3,300mg total (I'm using Bone Booster Complex 'til my Vitalady order arrives - should be any day now).

 

B Chicken satay (left pancakes @ home!!)	38
S Cheese	20
L 2 fried eggs, 2 sausages & black pudding	40
S Fromage frais	6
D Meatloaf	35
S Creamcheese pancakes w PB & whipped heavy cream	10
Protein:	149
F 72+
V nighttime iron, copper & vit C pending
E Quick walk @ lunch pedometer AWOL in house somewhere!! :-S

 

Yeah, 5 batches might be plenty. I'm not sure about the type of calcium citrate in the Bone Booster. Is it elemental calcium? 

What were you saying about forgetting things?   ; )

 

It's calcium hydroxyapatite.  How do you work out what's elemental or is it only with citrate?  Below's a list of what's in it which should be on this link if it comes out funny below http://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-bone-booster-complex-with-m cha-vitamin-d

BTW good news is it has boron and I was taking double what's below (so 6mg).  A Vitalady starter pack is enrout to me, but I was thinking of carrying on with this in addition.  So that'll be 1,800mg calcium citrate from Vitalady.  I'd shoot for 2-3 batches of Bone Booster Complex in addition to the citrate so that'd be an additional ~1,200 - 2,000mg.

I think you're spot on. I am fully in favor of using a variety. The hydroxipate + calcium citrate is a good thing. Yeah, the doses of the other elements are pretty small and adding the basic Vitalady plan in the doses you're talking about is perfect.

Hi everyone :)

I found a package of angus top sirloins in 3oz portions at the store and they look like little filet mignons for less than $1 a steak!  Cooked one up today and it was so tender and juicy.  I would have never guessed it was sirloin.  This may be a new staple for lunch!

B1- greek yogurt 

B2- Adkins hazelnut/chocolate bar (6g) Very tasty btw!

S- cashews

L- My little sirloin topped with butter, 4 baby carrots and 2 cherry tomatoes in veggie dip

S- more cashews

D-  Chili (no beans) with loads of cheese and couple bites of cornbread with butter

S- protein hot chocolate (15g)

Excellent! It's always great to find your go-to protein.
