Chinese National Day holiday comes to an end. Back to work tomorrow. I had a nice trip down to Dalian to see some friends there and eat some nice food. Stayed within my calorie quota but only just - even through I had an Indian curry and English fish 'n' chips every day. I just can't get them where I live so I binged a bit. Also got some cheese to take back home. It is so rare that I can get cheese so I ate it all a little to fast. Just one pack left out of three.
My wife bought me an unusual present - whey protein powder - the stuff that weightlifters eat to bulk up. The last thing I need is to bulk up. I tried some tonight just out of curiosity. It was "strawberry" flavour, but I'll put that in quotes because it wasn't really a flavour so much as a pink colouring. It also had an odd texture.
I really can't see the point of this stuff. If I wanted to up my protein, I could just add eggs or tofu. There are hundreds of delicious recipes using these. However, I don't want to up my protein. I don't want to up anything. I'm trying very hard to reduce my food. Calorie wise, it my portion was 218kcal. A Hershey bar is 210kcal and significantly more satisfying. It was just a couple of hundred calories that I don't need to eat. I think I'll be leaving whey protein powders off my diet sheet for now.
