Food. :(

My doctor has informed me that, to prep for possible surgery, I need to lose as much weight as possible. Apparently it's putting pressure on the spinal column and is being ooky. A crash diet, while normally not a good thing, is approved in this instance. *sigh*

Problem: I have to eat every time I take tramadol or I get very ill.

Jason's going to be buying lettuce tonight, but in the meantime, I'm making due.

Today:

6am: 1 hot dog. 180cal.

no, it's NOT good for me. But it was quick and available. This is a problem. When I hurt, I just want the pill in me asap, which means quick quick food that I don't have to stand long to make. Nuking a hot dog is quick. It doesn't require a lot of thought at 6am either.

11:20 am: soup. 1/ can campbells healthy request condensed minestrome. 100cal

so, a can has 2.5 servings @ 80cal each. 80*2.5=200cal, 200/2=100 cal
mixed with a can of water, adds no calories. this is more filling than i expected.

note: i had cans of non-condensed soup that had 2 servings per can...but the calories were 140 or 160 each (depending on flavor). So I went with condensed.

4:30pm: salad & chicken - 163 calories

1/2 chicken breast was 110calories
3 cups of salad, at 15cal/2 cups = 23cal
6tbsp of salsa, at 10cal/2tbsp = 30 cal

daily total: 443 calories
I also have a terrible headache and managed to survive a bad dizzy spell. :(

Jason's daily total is 1020calories.
10 kfc boneless buffalo wings (80cal each)
1 chicken breast (220cal)
