March 16, 2009


Oh, yum. For "breakfast" today, I had an oral glucose tolerance test -- 75g carbs, no protein. For what it's worth, the fruit punch flavor is better than the orange or the cola.


Fortunately, then I got to get right back on the low-carb plan; I was a little afraid that that big carb hit might give me carb cravings, but it didn't. Naked tenders and a salad, no croutons, from Buffalo Wild Wings have about 4g carbs, 30g protein.


This is the first low-carb recipe I've made from scratch -- meatloaf, made with almond meal instead of breadcrumbs. It was generally satisfactory, and definitely tasty, but it needs some tweaking before I'll be ready to post it. I had broccoli with it, so the whole meal has about 9g carbs, 75g protein.


I had the last of my chocolate muffins, for 2g carbs, 5g protein.


And then I made some apple cinnamon ones! Same recipe, but with 1/2 cup of applesauce and 2tsp cinnamon, no other sweetener. They're not perfect -- that amount of sweetening and flavoring tasted fine when I tasted the batter before folding it into the egg whites, but it turned out a little bland in the finished product. Not bad, but unlike the chocolate ones which were decadent, these taste like they might be good for you. About 2g carbs, 5g protein.

Totals for the day were 92g carbs (but only 17g aside from the OGTT), and 113g protein.
