    I made this creamy chicken and thyme soup for my lunches back at work and it is one of the best soups I've ever had. I topped it with crispy pancetta but must of it sank!

    Edit: I can't get the picture to show, any tips when using the mobile app?

    I figured it out, the app wouldn't allow the picture to be posted.

    Egg whites, high fat feta, spinach, kale, turkey bacon, cooked with some healthy oil. It was a huge dinner, extremely filling and yummy.

    Breakfast; 3 egg and 2 egg white American cheese omelet, cooked in scant butter (I have a great non stick pan), with three slices of uncured ham.

    Super: 1/2lb of Costco sous vide sirloin with a generous amount of green beans, mushrooms and a little garlic and onion.

    Had plenty of coffee and half and half today, plus cheese and pickles and radish and cucumber for snack

    Question: why no whole eggs, or pork bacon?

    Question: why no whole eggs, or pork bacon?

    Taste preference mainly, also I ate this for a late dinner, my stomach doesn’t care for heavy fat late in the day. I track my macros closely to be sure I am staying balanced, but wanted to offer a slightly different post, as I think that’s important, to point out we can eat what works for our body and schedule and still keep our macros balanced. :)

    I was just curious. I don't enjoy turkey bacon personally and, while I have egg whites routinely, have a threshold of whole eggs to added whites I can tolerate, which is 1:1. I tried doing 2 eggs to 3 added whites once and the resulting taste/texture was no good, though I often eat 2 eggs and 2 added whites. I do buy and consume center cut bacon, which gives me all the bacon flavor but with a better nutritional profile than traditional bacon, for me.

    I tend not to eat too late, out of preference. Last night I ended up stuck at work an extra 2 hrs and by the time I got home has zero motivation and didn't want to do any work, so I ate a Built Bar and had a Fairlife protein chocolate milk and called it a day Nutritional profile for that meal: 260 calories, 45 protein, 6 fat, 17carbs (11 net). I'd have preferred meat or eggs but didn't have cooking in me.

    What type of sauce is on your egg roll? That is something I have been eating often lately, made with broccoli slaw sometimes!

    2 tbsp mayo
    1tsp siracha
    1 tsp garlic powder
    Splash of lime juice (~ 1tsp)
    Zest of of lime

    ETA: would recommend putting it in the frig for 10 mins after you mix it all up.

    Ha, that's funny! We were talking deconstructed egg rolls this morning at work. Never did them, but I do like deconstructed cabbage rolls, and 'Big-Mac-in-a-bowl.'
