I am now obsessed, obsessed, with protein and fiber. Those of you who suggested that protein was key, thank you. Protein and fiber keep me filled up, which keeps me from feeling sick. I've never been the type to diet and count calories or fat grams, so this new preoccupation with labels is unfamiliar. I can tell you, for example, that 8 ounces of milk has more protein than an egg and that my new breakfast cereal has more than both, as well as loads of fiber. I always thought that eggs were the protein over-achiever, when all this time my morning latte had more protein than an omelet. Go figure.
In other news, beautiful weather, flowering trees everywhere, Don: terrible sinus headaches and allergies. Work extra-stressy due to expected any-day-now audit. Have developed a strange fascination with Rachel Ray and her Thirty-Minute Meals, probably because I've been too wiped out to do anything but lay on the sofa and watch Food Network. I don't know what she's on, but I'd like some of it.

An egg, however, is a more complete protein than milk or cereal is. Egg whites are the only known natural source for all nine essential amino acids. However, getting protein any way you can is nothing to shake a fist at. Good job, girlie.
*goes to make eggs*
I've been eating *lots* of eggs... eggs are good. I just felt mildly betrayed by the fact that they only have 6.something grams of the Stuff.
And Don keeps eating my hard-boiled eggs. He has no shame about eating a pregnant lady's food...
Jordan always ate my food! I had to threaten to end his life before he left mine alone!!! Ha!
egg, everything you need to make a baby chicken
And the latte does have a fair amount of protein until your barista scalds the milk then anything good has been thoroughly cooked out of it (it doesn't taste so good then either).
remember that beans are a good source of fiber & protein as well :)
Vegans. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em...
Beans are good but effortful.
