Almost done!
Wow - what a ride.
I met a former colleague for non-coffee at Starbucks at 0630 this morning (non-coffee meaning he had coffee, I watched him), then went to get my post-experiment lab work done. I went today because I'm thinking I'm going to have a few things this weekend that might blow the results come Monday.
So after the lab work, I had a PB&J sandwich (PB - $0.05; J - $0.03; wheat bread $0.09) in my office and brewed a cup of coffee ($0.03).
So breakfast was $0.20.
I went home for lunch and made a very nice plate of fried rice -
Total: $0.81
I ate the whole thing - about 750 cal! As I've said before, rice is cheap calories!
I had my calcium + vitamin D supplement with lunch ($0.09).
So lunch was $0.90.
In the afternoon I made another half pot of coffee ($0.09) and had an oz of cheddar ($0.19).
Dinner was grilled chicken breast ($0.75), roasted zucchini ($0.25), and bread ($0.12).
After dinner I had a cup of tea ($0.02) and a piece of bread ($0.03) with jelly ($0.03).
Total cost for the day: $2.58
Total calories for the day: 1,707
Rounding out the Triad -
Exercise: Ran 4.5 miles with the dog - about 550 cal.
Sleep: Didn't manage this one well. Got to bed at almost mid-night, had to get up at 0530 to get to my 0630 non-coffee. This was a second day in a row with low sleep, and I can tell you I was feeling it today. My performance level was lowered.
And that, my friends, is all she wrote!

I had some left over brown rice in the fridge, so this idea came to me.
Fried rice:
| rice | $ 0.13 |
| egg | $ 0.16 |

| carrots | $ 0.17 |

So thrilled that while this may not have "worked out" for you, you completed it, and have walked in the shoes of someone else. Way to go, Sir!!
