Up and Down she goes, where she stops nobody knows...
At least I'm still under 400...barely.
Thanks to FS and meticulous record-keeping at least I know it is either water or muscle. Hm...could it be the small serving of low-carb noodles...or the salt-with-yellow-food-coloring bouillon from the kitchen? I say it was Colonel Sodium in the Thighs with The Water Retention!
"CARBQUIK WONTON WRAP" (I cut EGG NOODLE-sized rectangles)
1.5 cups Carbquik (Supposed to be sifted--not an option @Nursing/Rehab Facility)
.5 cup Sysco Egg Product (Supposed to be 2 whole+3yolks)
1 tsp Corn Starch
(recipe from Carbquik/Tova website)
A serving comprised of 1/4 of the above turns out:
Chol: 112 Sod:280 Fat:9.75 Net Carbs:3.14 Protein:10.74 Calories:152
+ another couple carbs for bouillon, but still not bad at all.
RESULTS: "Noodles" are a bit light & "biscuit-y". Results with sifting probably better & with food processor better still.
The fats in the mix seem to have turned into little nodules that will cook out, leaving little voids--fine in a biscuit, but too light for noodle. Processor/power mixer should fix this, but don't have access to real kitchen for now. Maybe the other 3 portions will be slightly better from drying.
Oh, and "Sysco Egg Product (For Food Service Only)" doesn't seem to have the "umph" the the called for 3 yolks/2 whole eggs might bring. All I've got to work with for the moment. Will try with real eggs when possible.
VERDICT: Not bad, worth the effort. Would be OK in thicker squares for dumplings, doesn't quite cut it as noodles (to my taste). Real eggs, sifting, & thorough mixing in a food processor would probably make this into a reasonable facsimile.
Next Experiment: Pancakes made with the left over "Egg Product" & "Funny" story about Sugar-Free Maple Syrup.
