Ribs...

Tuesday:
Breakfast:
  • 1 hard boiled egg (17 calories, 3.6 protein, 0.2 carbs)
  • 1 scrambled egg (17 calories, 3.6 protein, 0.2 carbs)
  • 2 pieces of peppered bacon (90 calories, 5 g protein, 0 carbs)
Lunch:
  • Salad from the grocery store with mixed greens, grilled chicken, real bacon bits, tomatoes, and fat-free Italian. VERY DISAPPOINTING LUNCH :(. Should have brought my salad from home.
Dinner:
Pork Ribs Southern Style Cut. I grew up in Barbeque country but I don't have any predisposition as to how it should be prepared. I made up a dry rub primarily based on the Southern Heritage spice I'm trying from Reid's Fine Foods and Sea Salt and plopped the ribs on the grill for a few minutes on each side to sear in flavors, then I plopped them in a roasting pan, covered it with foil, and threw it in the oven for 1.5-2 hours at 275 Convection. I ate the first rib at the 1.5 hour mark, and the second at the 2 hour mark - both equally tasty.

BIG PROBLEM though... I made a rooky mistake and slathered on some Sissy Sauce BBQ sauce, which is a sweeter kind (my wife was smart and went for vinegar based) - it had 13g of Carbs! That messed me up. The other problem is that I picked out fairly lean ribs, as these things go, but the wifey felt like it was too fatty and gave the meal a rather weak thumbs up...


Wednesday:
Couldn't sleep until 3:30am, woke up at 7:15, sucked down 1 hard boiled egg, 4 cups of coffee, likely hitting Chipotle for lunch and leftover ribs for dinner...
