Bacon for breakfast again. No carbs, 10g protein.
Soup can be kind of difficult on a low-carb menu, especially if you want to eat out; a lot of them are fairly full of starchy stuff. One way to handle that is to eat them in limited portions, which is something I've done here, by having a mere cup of soup, along with a nicely low-carb Greek salad (the white stuff that looks like cauliflower in the pic is a pile of feta crumbles). About 21g carbs in this (16g from the soup), and 11g of protein, for a fairly light lunch.
My afternoon snack was bite-size summer sausage, which I keep a package of in the office fridge. No carbs, 5g protein in this amount.
For dinner, I had plenty of veggies. Parisienne carrots (I love these -- their round shape is natural), baby Brussels sprouts, and two small chicken breasts with Key lime flavoring. About 11g carbs, 40g protein.
For the first time since I started this little exercise, I found myself a little low on protein after dinner, due to the light lunch and fairly small snacks today. So I had about 2oz of roasted turkey, for another 16g protein (no carbs), which puts me right in the zone I'm aiming at.
And since I was pretty good today, I had a small treat -- 2 aquares of 85%-cocoa dark Lindt chocolate, for 4g carbs and 2g protein. Chocolate this dark is pretty bitter, but in tiny nibbles I really like it, and it easily fits in a low-carb plan.
Today's totals were 36g carbs, and 84g protein. I'm really pleased with this day.

Yes, I have the 85% Lindt, too. Good stuff in small quantity; I'm not sure I'm ready to add it back in, yet. It's a bit of a test for me. :)
J got me some 99% Lindt while in Minnesota. It's... interesting. NK recommends eating it with fruit, but of course, that presents its own potential issues, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of it.
