Pocketfish hasn't been closed down due to inactivity yet! So I'm going to add some activity.
Today, I started the Military Diet.
It is a US government sanctioned three day meal plan to get soldiers to meet weight requirements using a precisely calculated and chemically compatible set of foods. There is the potential to lose up to 10 lbs after those three days without strenuous exercise.
I will be logging the meals and any interesting notes -- interesting to me, that is-- that might come up.
Why am I doing this? Because it looked like a useful challenge. Each meal comes out to under $3. I do feel (and look) a bit flabby. The only item that looks like suffering might be the tub of cottage cheese I'm slated to eat for Day 2's lunch.
Day 1:
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 1 cup of tea/coffee, 1 slice of bread, 2 tbsp of peanut butter
8:35 am - I went with green tea. This is more of breakfast than I normally eat.
9:51 am - My burps smelled funky with the mix of grapefruit and peanut butter. It was otherwise delicious.
Summary: I really like grapefruit. It was well chosen, and supremed.
Lunch: 1/2 cup of tuna, 1 cup of tea/coffee, 1 slice of bread
12:34 pm - Eating tuna out of a can like a hobo (with a can opener), and an open-faced mayo-less tuna sandwich.
12:37 pm - I miss mayo already.
12:40 pm - There is a marked difference between toasted tuna, and straight-from-the-can tuna.
1:00 pm - Is it okay to not drink the tuna can juice?
Summary: I hope I don't smell like tuna all day. I am looking forward to that half steak for dinner.
Dinner: 3 oz of meat, 1 cup of green beans, 1 small apple, 1/2 a banana, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream
6:10 pm - Angus Inside Round Steak, baby
$7 for half a kilogram of steak, but $3 off because it's best before date is today
6:34 pm - There is so much steak left (for after!) 3oz is only 1/6 of the package.
6:45 pm - Fruit is an excuse to knife things
Summary: I like steak.
