A lot of people mention coffee. I drink (almost – Wifey has a couple of cups) two pots of coffee per day. That’s why I don’t mention it. ---

Yes, coffee with 1% milk is the very first part of my day. Non-negotiable. It often stands in as breakfast until late morning, when actual breakfast occurs. Today: Breakfast: Ham and cheddar scramble with chopped chives and mushrooms, 1 apple Snacks: Packet of veggie straws, spoonful of peanut butter Dinner: 1/2 small NY strip steak, whole grain rice medley and another pile of steamed spinach I rarely eat lunch, and when I do, I give up either breakfast or dinner for it. ---

> [@WildaBeast](#): > > Dinner: Probably the rest of the Trader Joe’s meatloaf (it says the package is three servings). I don’t think there’s enough potatoes left for a third serving, so I’ll probably end up putting together whatever other random leftovers and veggies are in the fridge for sides. If anyone was just dying to find out, I ended up having the rest of the meatloaf, steamed broccoli with parmesan cheese, and some leftover rice and beans. And if we’re sharing literally everything we ate, I snacked on some leftover Halloween candy and chili cheese Fritos between lunch and dinner. ---

Multi-grain cold cereal topped with raw cashews and pistachios; I usually add blueberries but was out of them today. A salad consisting of red bell pepper, broccolini, avocado, and apple (all organic), and feta cheese. Later tonight I’ll enjoy my daily snack of cocoa powder added to milk and to organic unflavored yogurt. ---

If we’re including drinks, this has been a very atypical week for me. I usually drink several cans of seltzer and diet cola over the course of a day. But lately my teeth have been bothering me and I’m cutting out carbonated drinks for a while to see if that helps. I’m currently on day three of drinking tea and water. ---

Switched to OMAD full-time when I lost access to the work cafeteria. Even after a full day, I’m not _hungry_. I only get truly hungry after heavy exercise, like a full day of backpacking or snowshoeing. ---

Yes, I’m amazed that the three-meal-a-day ritual is as common as it is. It’s a rare day when I have even two meals. It’s usually dinner and maybe a few snacks before or after, or not. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > Yes, I’m amazed that the three-meal-a-day ritual is as common as it is. I’m on the five-meals-a-day strategy, albeit that most of them are smaller than they would be if I were only eating two or three meals a day. I’m diabetic, and smaller, more frequent meals help me keep my blood sugar from spiking as much. ---

Expensive frozen crab poppers. Yes, they listed jalapeno but I overlooked that. Just one and it was too hot. My nose started running. Had to give them away. ---
