Diet Holiday: Day 5 Food Log

 Friday, August 6, 2021:

Black coffee and water throughout the day.

Starting around 3:45 PM: 

A snackfest consisting of 33 and 1/2 Bing cherries (I gave a half of a cherry to a rodent friend),

 followed by the bottom of the bag of pretzels (Equivalent of 10 stick estimate)

followed by 10 freeze pops. and a bag of microwave popcorn.

Note: the dangers of snacking are illustrated here. I did not set out to eat 10 freeze pops. I consumed 2 and then 2 more and then I decided on eating the last bag of microwave popcorn left in the cabinet. Then  I ate more freeze pops, resulting in 10 (each about 100 calories.)

Is this an idiosyncratic weakness or something more universal? I crave sweet. I consume sweet and then I crave salt. I consume salt and then I cave sweet...food manufacturers understand the yin and yang of salt and sugar. We would all be better off if we recognized the relationship.

Around 9:30 PM:

Delicious beef steak prepared by my wife. She broiled two steaks purchased from two different stores. They were seasoned the same and I could not tell the difference between the two cuts. Estimated one pound of beef. 

A hearty serving of macaroni and cheese.
