Diet, Day 37

One of the ways I am adding some variety to what looks like a fairly monotonous menu is to use marinades & seasonings. Tabasco makes a Chipotle hot sauce that's more smoke & less heat. Very tasty. And one of my real favorites is a brand called Stubb's. Stubb's makes barbecue sauces with bold flavor & some genuine kick. I can't eat the BBQ sauces because of the carbohydrates. But Stubb's also makes marinades. They've got marinades flavored for pork, beef, or chicken. Each one is fat free & has either 1 or 2 grams of carbs in a tablespoon. And because they are very flavorful, I can use just one tablespoon of the marinade as a cooking sauce for 8 oz of meat & the accompanying vegetables.

Work was s hectic last night that I had to eat while I worked at my desk. Made me very grateful to have a mute button on the speakerphone, because I was on one call for over 5 hours straight. I actually don't leave my desk for breaks most nights, but I do at least stop working while I eat.
