You know what's an even better protein-per-calorie value than black beans? According to the packaging, frozen spinach and broccoli: each 4g / 30 kcal per 1-cup serving = .1333 index value. Best vegetable protein I've charted so far, in fact equal to a Ball Park smoked white meat turkey wiener. "mountain climber" push-ups wrist curls (15#) ab plank (:45) gripmaster triceps dips crunches hammer curls (5# / 5:00) The "mountain climber" (hereafter MC) and "plank" come from the beginner section of ...

Gary's Monday-night "Rock Labyrinth" interwebs radio show on shmusicmedia.com never fails to expand my horizons in some way or another. And I like to think I've given a little back, with my requests for Uriah Heep "Look At Yourself" and Strawbs "Ghosts" (studio cuts or gtfo). A stand-out from tonight's show:

Another no-run day but eating a bit leaner. Tried the first couple chicken tenderloins pan-fried low+slow with a small dollop of green pesto and maybe half a tbsp of olive oil. Running out the last of the Iberia brown rice, will probably tackle some sort of bean remix later.

Label says 26g protein and 110 kcal per serving, for .2364 protein i... (...more)

Thursday I rushed home with no gymtiem to find out what Scott was all jacked up about. And it turned out there was nothing "urgent" really, except perhaps their desire to collect more this month. But I'm not in a position to launch that process without some outside assistance, so basically it was just pointlessly rattling my cage. Yesterday I was on the fence about gym-hitting, and ended up just heading straight home to start laundry. While it was running I picked up some grocerehs - cantaloupe for a co... (...more)

Slept funny on my shoulder, could use a muscle relaxer. FL Lotto picked the wrong numbers again. 1/4 bag of Alma whole wheat fusilli and ~1 serving of the "well done" chili for brunch, which is ~50g of protein and 743 kcal in just that one meal. I never got around to calculating the protein index value of canned Royal Pink wild salmon last time it occurred to me. Turns out it's the highest-index food of anything I've charted so far, at 22g / 160 kcal = .1375 index value. Compare to turkey dogs at .133... (...more)
