The first day. Rolled a 4. Decided to ease into it a bit with some Coke Zeros for caffeine. As I'm not a big caffeine junky, and I did fine for several months completely off caffeine, I think I'll make it more realistic by avoiding all sodas. Just water, with flavoring if I can scrounge any.
For lunch, I kept up the indulgence theme by making 500cal worth of Soylent. Same familiar vanilla/salty taste. I spiked it with a bit of garum, but it got too salty. Still, can't afford to turn away any calories.
In the afternoon, the Engineering team went out to CBC in Kendall Square to have a hangout before Hack Day tomorrow. I studiously avoided eating anything, but got a diet Coke before the softball game. I definitely felt a little weak, but I think that was from a minor adjustment from getting back on Soylent.
Softball was 7:45 to 10 or so. We got destroyed, but we'll keep trying. I snacked out of my supply a bit.
I rode back and carefully ran the spreadsheet to figure out what I could eat. Dinner was: oat granola bars, oatmeal, a little cheese, a can of chicken, and some leftover drinks I had in the fridge.
I'm not being hardcore about the fridge -- I'm not gonna avoid using appliances to make it fully realistic. I have the fridge just in case, but I'll try my best not to have leftovers. Whatever I open, I ought to finish on the spot. I also have a tea kettle to heat water for the oatmeal.
Overall, the variety of food was pretty high, so I didn't feel like I was being punished just yet.
