Today was a higher calorie/carb day on my calorie cycling plan.  After a few days of eating fairly light, I felt like a glutton today.  Tomorrow is the highest day of calorie intake all week and I'm already wondering how I'm going to fit it in!

Good luck with all the tests. Hope all is well.

Late morning today. The cat did not want to get up so we slept till 6:45.  
Then rush and rush... but still end up late at work. So need to make up and stay late. Got a lot of work to do. 

Eats today: 
Brazil Nuts, protein cookies
coffee+ almond milk
cheese (lots of it as a snack) - good food - just way too much of it.. 
salad with shrimps (small portion)
detour protein bar (very good - 15 proteins but had 15 gr of SA - I will pay for that later)
protein shake w Greens
D; whatever I get at my friends house e- some fish or meat with veggies.(they always cater to me needs)

Note: 
At Costco last night they were giving samples of the new DETOUR protein bars.  I was hungry so I asked (jokingly) if I can have a whole bar....and she gave me 2...  (she was closing up). I had one in Costco and one today.  They are really good - taste wise... but they have 13-14 gr SA... But are nice and soft.  I tried the Peanut Butter one and the Chocolate Chip Caramel.  Both really good taste. 
15 gr proteins. 170 cal, but loaded with SA. And they do have some splenda (I will not be using them)  If you can tolerate that - nice snack. Low fiber... but then - can't have everything...
