Too funny about the hot dogs. I went for a walk at lunch and smelled some, it made me want them and sad we didn't have any at home. 

BITES:

Premier Protein

Coffee with half & half and 2 chocolate covered coffee beans

About 1/4 blueberry protein muffin

Coffee with whole milk

Pistachio's 

Mixed salted nuts

Coffee with heavy cream and whipped cream on top

Leftover chicken/beef/pork teriyaki with no sauce

Carbmaster strawberry yogurt

String Cheese stick

1/2 TBL Jif natural peanut butter

Tofu Shirataki spaghetti shaped noodles with homemade no sugar added marina and 1/2 roasted zucchini with broiled parmesan

1 small dark chocolate thin mint (they are about the size of a quarter)

Microwave cinnamon pork rinds

Planned: Popcorn with butter

Planned: Some sort of chocolate

VITES: Missed one calcium/multi vitamin batch

EXERCITES: Walked just over 2 miles, walked up about 10 flights of stairs

Have you figured out the secrets to fixing the shirataki noodles? I've heard you have to rinse them to death after you cook and drain them.

The brand I use is in my opinion better than some others. We use the House Foods tofu shirataki noodles, I get them in the organic refrigerated section of Fred Meyer for $1.50 a bag (2 servings). We open the bag and rinse them well, then throw them in boiling water for 3 minutes. After we just drain, no rinse this time. There is a slight odor before cooking but it disappears. We love them but I can't eat more than 3 oz as they do tend to expand (which is just under half the bag). We've tried the miracle noodle brand which doesn't need to be refrigerated (no tofu) and they aren't as good and they smell more. We eat these at least once a week now, we both love them :)
