JoshFS's Journal, 01 July 2016

Hello FatSecret community. Today is Friday July 1st 2016, I successfully weigh in at 184.4 pounds. I thought I was going to be 180 pounds for the 4th of July, But even if I fasted from today until Monday, I think that would be cutting it close, and I am already hungry like a bear this morning. But I did join the I.F. BEAST MODE 2.0, which gives me a new mini goal to shoot for. It's been about 1 week that I have been doing Low Carb. I posted some pictures of some of the things I've eaten this week. Manchego cheese is one of them. It is $15.00 a pound, and have never tried it before until recently. I must say it is very strong to the smell and taste. Melting the cheese tames it a little bit. And after chewing on the cheese for about 5 seconds once melted, you get flavors on the palate that are pleasing. The cheese is 120 calories per ounce. I used a cheese grater to shred it and saved it on a ziploc bag for when I want to use it. I also bought Gouda cheese slices, and I must say I will be buying that again. Bacon and eggs are always good / 1060 calories total for the meal. The new bag of coffee I bought in the bag is good too. The tortilla in one of my pictures with breakfast sausage links and cheese comes out to 210 calories and 33 carbs, the sausage links come out to 560 calories, and the two slices of Gouda cheese come out to 220 calories, 110 calories per slice. Total calories for the meal = 990. The turkey bacon is 770 calories, plus two slices of swiss cheese at 80 calories per slice, total calories = 930. Well I hope you all have a good 4th of July and good luck on your goals.
