Atkins weekend

Friday's dinner was a weird one. I tried a recipe from the Atkins cookbook for tuna pate. (Not because it sounded that great but because I had all the ingredients on hand.) It called for (and I'm not kidding) 2 cans of tuna in oil, lemon juice, parsley, and 1 full stick of butter. Blend and serve with vegetables. Well, I ate it, and it was weird. I don't even know that I can describe the taste other than to say it was like eating fishy butter. Don't recommend that one.

Saturday: I had breakfast on the road to the lake. 2 bacon, egg and cheese bagels from McDonald's minus the bagels. No idea on the carb count but I estimated it at about 6 carbs. Lunch was a beefstick for 1 carb and a piece of pepper jack cheese with no taste for 1 carb (also half a L&M beefstick that I stopped eating because it tasted too sweet for there to be no carbs - we'll say it was 2), dinner was delayed but was two burgers and a piece of round bacon. Unfortunately the burgers were prepared with something that upped the carb count and I suspect the bacon was smoked with maple because that shit tasted sweet. Being conservative I'd say that burgers were a carb a piece and the bacon was 3 carbs. Came home and had some celery and dip for 3.7 carbs. All told it was probably about 19 carbs for the day.

Sunday: I didn't get up til like 6:45 pm. Went shopping for the week and proceeded to bake like a mofo. Made a crustless quiche, a whole roasted chicken, some deviled eggs, and some low carb macaroons for when the sweet siren call must be answered. Ate a piece of quiche w/a dab of cream cheese flavored with sriracha - 5.5 carbs, 3 macaroons - 6 carbs total, celery and dip - 3.7, some of the roasted chicken - 0 carbs, and a deviled egg - 1 carb. About 16.2 carbs for the day. Also found a diet cola that I can drink. At this point with all the sugar I cut out it even tastes like real Diet Coke.

Atkins Day 7 - Monday:
Breakfast - crustless quiche - 4 carbs.
Snack: 1 piece of quiche is plenty of carbs but not enough to fill me up so I had a snack of a deviled egg and a pat of cream cheese with sriracha. - 2 carbs.

Don't remember all of the rest of the day. The total carb count was under 20 though.

Monday Weigh In:
BS: 282.4lbs. -10lbs total.
LB: 262 lbs.
