Day Five

Here's an excellent site for finding the "Nutrition List" of foods:

We got hungry/bored last night, managed to control the "snacking" to sardines, almonds and some reasonable portions. I had a 11 oz. London Broil for dinner w/ half a tomato.

I suspect I'm not getting 2,000 calories / day. I should compute the figures for calories.

Woke up tired. The walking is wearing me down, and so I'm taking the day off.

12 oz. steak ("Extra Large" portion)

-- So I did OK on the carbs, but blew it out of the water on the fat, cholesterol.

Triscuit (Nabisco) is worse on carbs than CostCo organic tortilla chips! 28 gr. serving of either runs about 18 gr. carbs. That's 14 Triscuits, and not enough chips to get started on a "real serving" of salsa.

I can get through a can of sardines (O carbs) w/ about 8 Triscuits.

Sardines are a "freebie" . . .

4 oz. can sardines, oil packed, drained, bone in.
