Hungry like the wolf

[cyrano]

Note: It was requested that I call the last storm front "Snotorious B.I.G." but I haven't been given a tag for this front yet. That is, apparently, largely because people failed to realize that it would be as big as it turned out. Thus, I am calling it Biggie Smalls.

So far, this is day two of the "Holy God FATS" diet. Yesterday I ended up with 15 grams of fat, the exact count I have now forgotten, but which included half a tablespoon of peanut butter as a reward after I made it through the day on only 10g. (Oh, the unfortunate Kirby's incident.)

Today, after packing my lunch (before I found out that Biggie Smalls had turned this into a snow day), I'm at 3g of fat out of 20g. Which I have to say is pretty surprising. So long as I'm very careful about what gets eaten, and I don't let myself get caught by surprise, and I'm careful about being around food that tests my willpower (of which I have none), then this should not be as difficult as I had feared.

Breakfast
.5g for a yogurt*
0g for an apple
.5g for another yogurt* when I realized that I was still hungry

Lunch
1g for two slices of bread
1g for two servings of tinned tuna* in water
0g for baby carrots in vinegar
0g for two applesauce thingies

Lunch will probably go in two servings--elevensies and then a smackerel.

*Amanda recommended that even animal products marked 0g fat for a serving should be counted as .5g because it is made from animal and thus likely contains some fat.

All I know, and I've said it all my life, is "fat's what makes it taste good". But I'm also highly in favor of spices. (:

And mushrooms are delicious and fat-free. Maybe you should prepare them in brine with spices.
They're next to zero in calories unless cooked, though.

Many sorts of white fish and chicken fillet are low in fat, and turkey is very lean.
