Atkins, Day Five

Today I woke up knowing it would be a crazy busy day. I had back to back classes and meetings until around 9pm, so it was a challenge finding food to fit in my schedule.

• 9:30 am - omelet made with onions, bacon & cheese, 16 oz Diet Coke
  
  


• 2:01 pm - piece of Trident Whitening gum


• 4:50 pm - strawberry banana Dannon Light n' Fit yogurt, half a bag of salted cashews, piece of Trident sugar-free gum, 20 oz Diet Coke


• 9:50 pm - high fiber Wasa bread with liverwurst and mustard

The omelet was pretty filling, thankfully, and carried me through most of the day. My stomach was growling just before my evening class, so I grabbed the yogurt and cashews at the school cafeteria. I lamented that there were 11 grams of carbs per serving (7 of which were sugar), but as it turns out I had little need to worry since I was too tired to eat very much when I got home.

I noticed that my packs of gum all say they have less than 1 gram of carbs per serving, which is all good and well, but if I eat several pieces a day, I suspect it starts adding up. For that reason, I've been trying to keep track of gum and mints I eat as well, as they could be a hidden damage area.

Otherwise today was not bad. I just wish I'd made more of an effort to get my full nutrition in.
