Today's breakfast was half a cup of cottage cheese. The red stuff is about a tablespoon of Torani black cherry syrup; I'm used to eating my cottage cheese with a little sugar or jelly mixed in, but I'm no longer willing to spend my carbs that way -- this works nicely. This is Daisy brand cottage cheese, which is my favorite, and it's the full 4% milkfat; reduced-fat dairy products have more carbs for the same volume, and anyway I'm not counting fat. This has 3g carbs, and 14g protein.
My lunch was a Subway club, double meat, with tomato, pickles, and black olives; I dumped it off the bread and ate it with knife and fork, and the lettuce was limp so I ditched that too. With that stuff dumped, this has 12g carbs and 32g protein.
Mmmm, Starbucks. This is a tall sugar-free cinnamon dolce latte, no whip, regular (2%) milk; it's got 12g carbs and 9g protein. Well worth the carb expenditure!
Dinner was a grilled lemon-pepper catfish fillet, with a lemon butter dipping sauce. It's normally served with rice, which I had them hold; I wanted extra veggies, since usually they have decent ones (broccoli, or at least squash mix), but the only choices tonight were carrot and celery sticks, or creamed corn (when I said, "But corn's a grain, not a vegetable," I got a totally blank stare), and the carrots were past their prime so I only ate a couple sticks. This restaurant doesn't give nutrition info (most of the rest of the menu, you probably don't wanna know), but the recipe analyzer says this plus the salad add up to about 6g carbs, 28g protein.
Totals for today are 33g carbs, 83g protein. Again a little high on the protein, but closer than yesterday. Not bad!
