9.
Lunch -- decided to go in on this exotic halal turkey spam I found in the international aisle. Paired it with a really sourdoughy German-style sunflower seed bread. The bread is one of those things that is not to my taste and will take some effort to finish off.
Oh, and by "go in on," I meant that I thought about this all last night and packed the cans accordingly.
Dinner -- chicken + peas, cold of course. Mildly warm water on instant oatmeal. Nailed the cals limit. Chicken has 45g protein for just 225 cals. The spam is 1020cals but only 42g protein, not to mention 200% of your RDA sodium. Still, you don't always get your choice of nutrition. Some cals is better than no cals. That could be the title of my post-Apocalyptic book.
This reminds me of that hermit who hid in the Maine woods and pretty much ate candy the whole time.
Tomorrow, I'm going to an actual restaurant to eat real food. Yes, I know, such a violation. Hungry Mother in Kendall Sq is going out of business, and I got a reservation when I heard the news, before I'd settled on doing Ramengdan. I have the following thoughts on this whole monkeywrench:
- great opportunity to stock up on protein
- I still have a 3500 cal deficit to close up
- I can prob skip lunch tomorrow, but will I?
- it's probably more realistic to eat real food closer to the start of this than toward the end
- need to come up with a convincing backstory for having this feast fit into my post-Apocalyptic scenario
One more thing came to mind -- can I scavenge? Rooting around looking for a scale at the office, I found a box of matzos with just one matzo left. It feels legit to be able to eat this found food. I'll think about it.
