Bacon for breakfast again. No carbs, 10g protein.
Lunch was kind of a misstep. I went to Black Eyed Pea with the intention of having the pot roast again, but the daily special was a smothered steak, and as described, it sounded pretty good; unfortunately, the waitress who described it didn't mention that it came on rice (rather mushy white rice at that), and after I complained about that and had it redone without the rice, I discovered that she also didn't mention that, while it wasn't breaded, it was dredged in flour or something. Argh! But I ended up eating it anyway, having already sent it back once. Exact counts weren't available for this entree in their nutrition info, either, so I'm reduced to estimating, from experience with cooking this sort of thing myself, that there's probably a couple of tablespoons of flour involved. It didn't push my blood sugar that high -- 127mg/dL an hour later, which is fairly normal -- so I'm going to say that the whole meal probably ran about 30g carbs. Also about 30g protein. It was good, but not worth the carb expenditure; I should have stuck to my original intention.
Dinner was smallish, and fairly low on carbs, consisting of the last of my mashed cauliflower with cheese and sour cream, and a broiled hamburger patty with St. Agur blue cheese on top. About 4g carbs, and 35g protein.
Because dinner was planned to be small, I planned on a low-carb dessert -- CarbMaster yogurt. 3g carbs, 12g protein.
And then I still felt "snacky" so I had about 3oz of cheddar. No carbs, 18g protein.
And then I still ended up having the snack I'd really wanted in the first place, which was 4 pieces of low-carb fudge. About 3g carbs, 4g protein.
Totals for the day were 40g carbs (this would have been a really good day if I'd stuck to the pot roast at lunch!), and 109g protein, which is within my recently altered brackets.
