Day 80: Anyone else like cream cheese?

Total weight loss: 21.5 pounds   Next weigh-in: tomorrow!

I started work at 8 a.m. Another crazy day at work, another missed breakfast.

At noon, Rick took me to get coney dogs at the local diner. I asked for them without buns, and all was well.

Around 4, I ate the usual handful of almonds.

At 7:30 p.m., I left work tired and hungry. Thankfully, I had a serving of Indian butter chicken and cauliflower rice left over.

Around 9 p.m, I wanted a little snack. I still had about 8 carbs left. I ate 3 oz of cream cheese. Odd, I know, but delicious.

As a side note, I found this about the benefits of eating cream cheese. Okay, it was a site for pregnant women, but the bennies still hold true for the rest of us.

Benefits of cream cheeses:

  • Cream cheeses, unlike other unsafe cheeses are made from pasteurized milk which makes it safe to eat.
  • They are a good source of protein.
  • Calcium and phosphorous content of cream cheeses can be trusted highly in preventing bone decalcification.
  • The carbohydrate content of cream cheeses is in a minimum extent so would not add on weight to your body.
  • They have considerable amount of vitamin A.

I was still well under carb count (and calorie count) for the day. I just hope I don’t UNDER do it and trigger starvation mode (if it even exists!).
