Breakfast was kind of random, but this is what I felt like eating that I had on hand: half a cup of cottage cheese with black cherry syrup, a slice of ham, and two low-carb macaroons. Carbs are pretty low, about 7g, and protein is around 28g.
For lunch, I had a bowl of tuna salad, and about 2 oz of Heart of England cheese. Carbs are about 5g, protein about 34g.
A nice little treat in the afternoon -- two squares from a Vosges Red Fire bar, the sugar-free version. The combination of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and peppers is yummy, and there's only about 5 carbs in this amount. No protein to speak of.
And I had another snack -- pork rinds! Mmm, I love these. One of the things I find hard about low-carb is that it's low on crunchy stuff, and I adore crunchy; one of my big binge foods is dry cereal, and it doesn't even have to be sweet. Pork rinds are nicely crunchy, and zero carbs. Of course, if you buy into the lipid hypothesis, also known as OH NOES TEH CHOLESTEROL, then they're crispy crunchy Death -- fortunately, I don't. I have an ounce of them here, for 16g of protein.
For dinner, we ate out at Luby's, and I had roast beef, and two helpings of their cooked cabbage, which is fabulous. Around 8g of carbs, and 45g of protein in this meal, more or less (I'm estimating 5oz of beef).
I was very low on carbs for the day, so I let myself have a little treat at bedtime -- two Lindt dark chocolate truffle balls, for a total of 10g in carbs.
Including the chocolate, I was at 35g carbs for the day. Protein was pretty high today, at around 113g.
