I begin my day with 5.42. I feel rich.
I got the Jiffy biscuit mix on sale 3 for one buck. I was afraid I might be pushing it with the carbs but it was barely okay. With my small banana 60 grams of carbohydrate, my maximum for any one meal. Of course I had to put some cheddar on my biscuits and had 3 ounces worth.
Banana .19
Black Coffee .25
3 cheese and biscuits 1.08
Total 1.52
Lunch I fared better.
I lucked out I totally lucked out. At the butcher where I was thinking I might get a sliver of cheap liver (I love liver)They had beef trimmings. A customer had requested perfectly weighted square filets for her new square plates. Don't you love the filthy rich?
They were selling the trimmings in one quart containers for a buck each. I bought both and when I got home I took out one cup of meat, put the rest of both in freezer bags and made a simple steam fry.
1 cup of beef trimmings .25
1 small head of broccoli 1.12
Total 1.37
I was on my way to NY and worried that I might get hungry at the airport and buy something I should not I decided to carry my dinner. Having had all that beef I had no appetite yet anyway.
I mixed a chicken thigh with the rest of the green onions and stuffed into a whole wheat pita.
Chicken .64
Onions .19
WW Pita .28
Total 1.11
Day Total 4.00 leaving me with 1.42 to carry over. I managed 1,300 calories and 121 grams of carbohydrate.

Love those butcher deals! I go sometimes go to an Iranian butcher (halal). Beef, lamb, and chicken are spectacular. (Of course no pork, sigh). They sell trimmings (essentially stew beef or lamb) for 1/4 the price of the chain stores - and it's better!
