12/18 152.2 husband has colonoscopy today, and my bunco group has holiday party this evening. No workouts planned and I’m still off my foot. Dogs frantic for walkies but all he gets is slow around-the-blocks. Yesterday was the fewest steps I’ve taken since starting MFP and getting an Apple Watch in late 2018. Except for my lowest day of COVID, lol.

@indoorsy_ i eat super high protein. My diary is open and generally pre-logged several days out. Today is cottage cheese heavy, though. 😗 I blocked out 1500 calories for the party but wanted to make sure I got a ton a protein in beforehand.

You’re welcome to send a friend request if you need to know what certain things are. (For ex, breakfast the past few days with the long list of ingredients is an own-recipe high protein devils food pancake with low cal “Nutella” spread. That batch was particularly kooky ingredient-wise because I had some stuff in the fridge to use up.)

springlering62 · December 18

PS: Easy Faux Nutella

1 tbsp (15gr) Sugar free chocolate syrup. Hersheys will work (5 cal) but I use Jordan’s Skinny chocolate-espresso “Sauce”(not syrup!) at 0 cal

6 gr powdered peanut butter (25 cal)

Total 25-30 cal for 1.5 tbsp serving

Whip and spread. It’s very good!!!

Day 50—12/15—147.9 . I had a few drinks last night. I'm surprised my weight isn't up more.

Halfway Progress Report:
Pounds Lost so Far: 7.6. Averages out to be just over a pound a week, which I'm happy with.

Day 51—12/16— 150.4. My food choices were horrible this weekend so this is not much of a surprise. I'm back at it today though.

Day 52—12/17— 150.8. Well this isn't good. I'll do better today than what I've been doing the last few days.

Week 8 actual weight:
Previous and Future Weeks

Previous days' notes were lost when I got a new phone and my notes didn't get carried over. Copying and pasting from an old post proved to be too troublesome, especially for something that no one really needs or wants to re-read.

Day 36—12/01— 148.7. I was expecting my weight to be up from my sick weight yesterday, but wasn't expecting this much. I ate yesterday, but still well under my calories as I wasn't feeling great. Oh well.

Day 37—12/02— 149.1

Day 38—12/03— 148.3. I'm happy it came down a little.

Day 39—12/04— 147.9.

Day 40—12/05— 146.7. Woo-hoo! I'm super excited for this new low. Hopefully it'll stick for the end of the week goal

Day 41—12/06— 147.0. I feel like I'm in the zone right now. I'm motivated, my healthy habits are taking hold and becoming routine, and I just feel like I'm doing things "right". I know this feeling won't last forever, but I'm going to try to hold on to it for a few more pounds at least.

Day 42—12/07— 146.4. My boys are spending the weekend with Gramma, so I'll have some more time to myself today. Have some errands, chores and things to do, but hoping to also have some down time for Me Time and maybe a little extra at the gym.

Week 6 Goal: 147.0
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4

Day 43—12/08— 145.5. Hmmm... I'm dropping weight a bit too fast. Almost 2 pounds in 2 days? A bit of a woosh may have been building up, but I also think I'm a bit dehydrated. I haven't been focusing on water the last few days. So I'm going to try drinking more today, and see if my weight evens out a bit.

Day 44—12/09— 147.2. I drank more water yesterday, putting me around where I think I should be. I gotta stay hydrated.

Day 45—12/10—147.7. Took the day off from the gym, but went for a walk. Calories were just a smidge higher than I would like them to be. Going to pre-track my food today.

Day 46—12/11— 147.7. Anxiety was pretty bad. Exercise was pretty scarce yesterday. Eating was okay.

Day 47—12/12— 148.0. I was really tired yesterday so took it easy, again. Food wasn't the best. I'm going to do better today.

Day 48—12/13— 146.4.

Day 49—12/14— 148.0. My weight was everywhere this week. I'm just going to take this week's gain with a grain of salt.

Good Hump Day!

Day 50—12/15— 176.4 - The party did do a number on my number...ha, ha. Back to normal today. Keeping my goal the same.

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: Since I started the challenge late, I don't know.

Day 51—12/16— 176.4 - Found out my egg lady's hens aren't laying as much this time of year, so I will have to buy eggs for about a month or so. This time of year I use a lot if eggs....especially when I am trying to lose weight.

Day 52—12/17— 175 - The party weight is going away. I am back to regular food.

Day 53—12/18— 175 - Made a from scratch banana cake with cream cheese frosting last night. Saving it for Christmas. Did lick the frosting bowl, though. 😁

Panic attacks are back.....don't have the time for them. Too much to do. So frustrating!

Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 0.2 lbs Lost Time to kick it into high gear and do as much As I Can, When I Can, Where I Can, even through December!

Day 51-12/16-190.8-(Trend weight 192.8)

Day 52-12/17-190.0-(Trend weight 192.6) I weighed in my normal spot and the weight was much lower than I trusted so I moved the scale over a bit and it was a little higher. With it differing the 1st spot I just didn’t trust it. I finally shook the lazies and went downstairs to the basement, on the cement, where I do feel the floor is more level and stable. I got the highest number of the three twice. It's not a direct comparison from yesterday but one that seems accurate so this is the one I’m posting today. I’ve put my scale on the charger even though it wasn’t dead yet. We’ll see what happens tomorrow in my normal (and usually reliable) spot. Otherwise, I’ll be starting each day with a flight of stairs which probably isn’t a bad idea anyway! Christmas concert tonight at the school. Doctor appointment tomorrow for diabetes check and general care at my PCP's. I’m not sure if my weight is up or down since my last appointment. I’ll have to research. T-Minus 3.6 lbs today. 1.4 lbs to go on my micro-mini goal.

Day 53-12/18-190.6-(Trend weight 192.4) Spent last night self-sabotaging before my doctor appointment so my weight would be higher and I wouldn’t have to endure a compliment. I mean, why else would I do such a thing the evening before an important appointment? Or maybe I was just too close to a new decade in weight. Or maybe I was getting too close to my 5 lb goal. Ughhhh…. Anyway, they didn’t mention my weight which is strange because I’ve gained a lot this year. I came home and researched and on the day of my last appt (in Aug) I had already gained so much that my weight that today actually came in at EXACTLY the same as the last appt 190.6 so that explains it. Out to lunch earlier with my son afterward which is a tradition (so he’ll go to the doctor). Tomorrow’s scale will likely not be good. However, I’ll try to keep tomorrow a compliant day as I travel 8 hours round trip on Friday (plus the time for the dr appointment and some shopping) and there will be lunch and dinner out. This is where the weight gain begins for the Holidays for me. Starting today. I’ve really got to practice portion control to offset the choices! T-minus 3 lbs with 2 left to go.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada

The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.

Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6

Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0

Week 3 Goal: 144.9
Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8

Week 4 Goal: Didn't put one
Week 4 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 146.0

Week 5 Goal: 146.6
Week 5 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 146.8

Week 6 Goal: 144.8 - a bit ambitious but maybe do-able since I shouldn't be exhausted all week and eating dinners at 1am
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.8

Week 7 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
Week 7 actual weight: 147.4 - Started the week at 146.6

Day 50—12/15— 149.0 - Uh-oh! I guess all that party food just took a couple of days to show up on the scale. I had company yesterday, Mulled wine and snacks, then after they left, more of the leftovers from the party. Eek.

Halfway Progress Report: …..Gained almost 3 pounds, I guess 2.4

Day 51—12/16— 147.4 - Starting a new work schedule at my day job today, 3 longer days per week for the next 2 months. I will take extra food with me (rice cakes and nut butter, apples, oranges, cheerios with almond milk) because of the longer than usual shifts. Yes, it is a restaurant lol, but I don't really eat restaurant food anymore or I would quickly be back up to 200.

Day 52—12/17— 148.2 - No idea why the jump up in weight. Very busy day at work, only time for lots of lemon water, one orange and my cheerios during 8 hours, ate a bit when I got home exhausted, but not much. I was already into my jammies when had some homemade Adobo chicken from one of the Filipino girls at work, possibly loaded with salt? Hopefully the weight gain is just a blip.

Day 53—12/18— 148.0 - Early morning car appointment, took the day off of my day job for that, just my evening job today.

Day 54—12/19—

Day 55—12/20—

Day 56—12/21—

Week 8 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
Week 8 actual weight:

👋😃 Hi I’m Jeanne!

I'm 48. 5’4’’. Live in Canada 🇨🇦.
This is my 6th 100 days challenge.
This is working for me.
Bad Yo-yoing days are finally gone.

12/18 152.2 husband has colonoscopy today, and my bunco group has holiday party this evening. No workouts planned and I’m still off my foot. Dogs frantic for walkies but all he gets is slow around-the-blocks. Yesterday was the fewest steps I’ve taken since starting MFP and getting an Apple Watch in late 2018. Except for my lowest day of COVID, lol.

@indoorsy_ i eat super high protein. My diary is open and generally pre-logged several days out. Today is cottage cheese heavy, though. 😗 I blocked out 1500 calories for the party but wanted to make sure I got a ton a protein in beforehand.

You’re welcome to send a friend request if you need to know what certain things are. (For ex, breakfast the past few days with the long list of ingredients is an own-recipe high protein devils food pancake with low cal “Nutella” spread. That batch was particularly kooky ingredient-wise because I had some stuff in the fridge to use up.)

thank you @springlering62, your profile is private so I wasn't able to look at your diary. today i had 2 eggs and 6 slices of chicken bacon and some tuna. at 68 grams protein which is better but not great.

10/17: 217.5 - Ending weight last round on 10/17/2024 before vacation.
10/18-10/26: DNW - Vacation Northeast coast & Canada
10/27: 222.9 - Up 5.4 lbs in one week of vacation indulgence. I really hope that some of this is water retention from travel and will shed quickly in the next 2 days. The trip with my sister was great but I drank cocktails that had way more calories than my normal glass of wine. Think that was probably my biggest mistake. Starting this round in the RED!
🎂 Not the way I wanted to kick off my birthday … 64 years. Will I get to Onederland before I’m 65??? Bike 30 min
10/28: 220.1 / 221.8 - Not under 220 but I’ll take it. Today taking care of my granddaughter since she has fever and can’t go to daycare. My daughter is flying to North Carolina for work and her husband has 4 meetings at work today so they need Nana’s help with the little one. The other is going to daycare.

Weekly Goal: < ?
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 220.1
Gain / Loss this week: 2.6
Challenge Weight Loss: 0
🎯 Still in the red so I’m going to work this coming week to get back down to pre vacation weight.

10/29: 218.8 / 221.1 - Gradually shedding the travel water retention and vacation weight gain. Wondering if this is my real weight which would mean I gained a real pound on this trip ... much like all my other 4 vacations in the past 2 years. Now will be the real challenge to get rid of this pound!
10/30: 217.9 / 220.1 - My knees are bothering me again after all the walking on vacation. Today I’m going to focus on the bike exercise and go back to my PT exercises to help stretch out and strengthen the muscles around the knees.
10/31: 216.5 / 219.0 - 🎃 Yeah! A new low and my trend is under 220. All the grandkids are getting together at my daughter’s home for chili and to trick-o-treat together tonight. I’m looking forward to it! This year we have Elsa and Ana from Frozen and a beautiful pink princess.
11/1: 217.7 / 218.4 - Indulged a little too much plus didn’t get on the bike but did walk with the grandkids trick-or-treating.

11/2: 216.8 / 217.8 - Great lunch out yesterday with an old friend. I chose a fun harvest salad with grilled chicken, spring mix lettuce, pumpkin seeds, roasted beets & butternut squash, goat cheese, quinoa with Fig Balsamic dressing. It was yummy! Never tried these veggies before roasted and never liked beets before but this I loved! Only ate half and stopped when I was full.
Today the families are going to the zoo. Lots of chasing grandkids in my future morning adventures.
11/3: 218.7 / 217.9 - Too much yesterday! Daughter brought both Kolaches and donuts which I had 1 of each. Then DIL brought key lime cup cakes she made for my birthday celebration which were yummy and I had 1 after a salad lunch and another after pasta dinner. The results of the indulgence showed up on the scale this morning.
11/4: 218.3 / 217.9 - 30 min bike

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 218.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.8
Challenge Weight Loss: .8
🎯 Lost most of the vacation gain but I’m still in the red for this challenge as I’ve not gotten back to my starting 217.5 pre-vacation reading. Lots of things I could have and should have done this week … bike, not eat so many cupcakes, etc.

11/5: 215.8 / 217.2 - I had a “spell” last night where my heart raced for over an hour (180 bpm). Drank water, lied down, breathing … tried everything I knew to get it to slow down. I have vascular syncope and almost blacked out at dinner when it kicked in. Of course this had to be the time when my DIL and granddaughter were staying over and my sister was here for dinner. Better this morning. Wondering if I burned off the calories LOL
11/6: 218.3 / 217.4 - Taking it easy today … bike 30, min walk 1 mil, paint, plan for potential move since remodeling as much as we want is out of the question cost wise.
11/7: 217.2 / 217.2 - Up at 3am … WHY!?!?
11/8: 217 / 217.1 - Biked 20 min
11/9: 217 / 217.0 - Biked 20 min, weed & mulch front bed, played with grandkids
11/10: 215.6 / 216.5 - Saw 215 during last round before vacation but didn’t hold on to it. Wondering if I’ll be able to this week. Biked 20 min
11/11: 215.5 / 216.1 - Took a 1.5 hr nap both Sat and Sun … I guess my body really needed sleep this weekend.

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Bike 4x this week ✔️
Actual Weight: 215.5
Gain / Loss this week: 2.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 2
🎯 Finally shed the pounds from the cruise and I’m below my pre vacation weight and the end weight of the last round. Now to get to 210!!!

11/12: 215.1 / 215.6 - I have so many art projects in process. I need to pick one and finish today.

Actual Weight: 215.4

Challenge Weight Loss: 2.1
🎯 Totally not focused on weight loss and health. I need to get back to working to lose a pound.

11/19: 215.0
11/20: 216.1
11/21: 215.4 Stepping on the scale daily but not much else. I've not even looked at the trend but it seems fairly flat. Need to find the want and the time to focus on me.
11/22: 215.4
11/23: 214.9
11/24: 214.8 / 214.9 - Finally got the moving average as well as the scale below 215. Can I hope that it goes below 210 before the end to he year with all the holiday celebrations I have ahead of me over the next 5 weeks? I’ve not been on the bike in a while … Think I’ll ad that to my must do today list. Bike 20 min.
11/25: 214.3 / 214.7 - Today’s focus … Bike plus PLANNING health insurance, flights for vacation next year and begin decorating for the holidays since we don’t have anyone here for Thanksgiving.

Weekly Goal: < 214
Actual Weight: 214.3 BMI = 37.9
Gain / Loss this week: 1.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 3.2
🎯 Minor progress. Seems like I’ve been at 215 forever but in reality that vacation at the end of October pushed me up to almost 223 temporarily. I’m glad to feel like I’m making a little progress again even if it is very very slow.

11/26: 214.1 / 214.4 - Hit yesterday with a terrible cold that makes me feel awful.
11/27: 213.6 / 214.0 - Slept most of yesterday … wasted day but I think the fever broke last night.
11/28: 213.4 / 213.7 - Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Just DH & I today. Tomorrow we join our son & wife in Austin for Thanksgiving meal with our DIL’s parents, one of her brothers and some of their friends.
11/29: 214.3 / 213.9
11/30: 214.5 / 213.9 - 6 hrs in the car and Thanksgiving feast on Friday shows on the scale. Not unexpected.
12/1: 214.1 / 213.9
12/2: 214.2 / 214.0

Weekly Goal: < 214
Actual Weight: 214.2
Gain / Loss this week: .1

🎯

12/3: 214.1 / 213.9 - Still lack focus but also lack an appetite.
12/4: 212.9 / 213.6 -Just surviving …
12/5: 213.9 / 213.6 -

Actual Weight: 213.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 3.7
🎯

12/17: 213.3 - one more party Wednesday then no more challenges until Christmas Eve. I need to get back riding my bike. I can tell I’v not been on it in over a month when I first get up in the morning crawling out of bed… I’m all stiff.
12/18: 213.0
12/19: 213.1 Kept it together for most of the day not snacking but my schedule is off. I had protein for breakfast at 8am but still wanted lunch before 11am. Held off until 11:15am. Dinner was appetizers (mostly cheese & crackers) that people brought to book club! I was hungry when I got home at 9pm but held off and went to bed early. That was my last challenging party until Christmas Eve at my house.

@deepwoodslady - Still I have not gotten on the bike ... but I've promised myself that I would no matter what today!!

Day 50—12/15—147.9 . I had a few drinks last night. I'm surprised my weight isn't up more.

Halfway Progress Report:
Pounds Lost so Far: 7.6. Averages out to be just over a pound a week, which I'm happy with.

Day 51—12/16— 150.4. My food choices were horrible this weekend so this is not much of a surprise. I'm back at it today though.

Day 52—12/17— 150.8. Well this isn't good. I'll do better today than what I've been doing the last few days.

Day 53—12/18— 149.7. Today's goal: no Christmas cookies.

Previous and Future Weeks

Previous days' notes were lost when I got a new phone and my notes didn't get carried over. Copying and pasting from an old post proved to be too troublesome, especially for something that no one really needs or wants to re-read.

Day 36—12/01— 148.7. I was expecting my weight to be up from my sick weight yesterday, but wasn't expecting this much. I ate yesterday, but still well under my calories as I wasn't feeling great. Oh well.

Day 37—12/02— 149.1

Day 38—12/03— 148.3. I'm happy it came down a little.

Day 39—12/04— 147.9.

Day 40—12/05— 146.7. Woo-hoo! I'm super excited for this new low. Hopefully it'll stick for the end of the week goal

Day 41—12/06— 147.0. I feel like I'm in the zone right now. I'm motivated, my healthy habits are taking hold and becoming routine, and I just feel like I'm doing things "right". I know this feeling won't last forever, but I'm going to try to hold on to it for a few more pounds at least.

Day 42—12/07— 146.4. My boys are spending the weekend with Gramma, so I'll have some more time to myself today. Have some errands, chores and things to do, but hoping to also have some down time for Me Time and maybe a little extra at the gym.

Week 6 Goal: 147.0
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4

Day 43—12/08— 145.5. Hmmm... I'm dropping weight a bit too fast. Almost 2 pounds in 2 days? A bit of a woosh may have been building up, but I also think I'm a bit dehydrated. I haven't been focusing on water the last few days. So I'm going to try drinking more today, and see if my weight evens out a bit.

Day 44—12/09— 147.2. I drank more water yesterday, putting me around where I think I should be. I gotta stay hydrated.

Day 45—12/10—147.7. Took the day off from the gym, but went for a walk. Calories were just a smidge higher than I would like them to be. Going to pre-track my food today.

Day 46—12/11— 147.7. Anxiety was pretty bad. Exercise was pretty scarce yesterday. Eating was okay.

Day 47—12/12— 148.0. I was really tired yesterday so took it easy, again. Food wasn't the best. I'm going to do better today.

Day 48—12/13— 146.4.

Day 49—12/14— 148.0. My weight was everywhere this week. I'm just going to take this week's gain with a grain of salt.

Yesterday was a total cluster. Husband’s colonoscopy ran over two hours late. They had the utter gall to turn off the lights and hang a sign “out to iunch” as we sat there waiting for his “10:30” procedure. He’s diabetic, he’d been “hangry” since the night before, and by the time he got out after 2 pm, he was frantic and I was pretty hungry myself.

So we sat in the parking lot of the chikfila across the street and each demolished an XL lunch. I haven’t had chikfila in ages. It’s was OK, but nothing I’d crave any more.

Then I went to the French bakery to buy a buche de Noel for the bunco Christmas party that night and left with a couple extra cookies.

I was hugely over yesterday, to the tune of 2400+ (at least) calories, so double what I usually eat.

No regrets. I look forward to this party every year. Our lovely, warm hostess (a professional interior designer with a collector husband) has a gorgeous restored Victorian which is such eye candy, the food spread is gorgeous, and the gift exchange is a hoot.

She had a massive charcuterie board done in a candy cane pattern, followed by lasagna. I adore charcuterie so I believe I polished a good bit of it off, and only had a bite of her lasagna.

So weight gain today is a well deserved salt punch.

Foot tentatively feeling a bit better, even though I wasn’t able to stay off it since we had to park a long way from the totally full hospital parking lot.

And for the record, the waiting room was straight out of Saturday Night Live. It was a very elderly crowd, and the screaming very personal stuff into phones, the fumbling with phones, the “what did you say?” “ I SAID….” was so entertaining that me and another “younger” wife were in a corner giggling.

And is it just me, with my very warped sense of humor, or was the art at the colonoscopy clinic very…..suggestive?!

12/18 152.2 husband has colonoscopy today, and my bunco group has holiday party this evening. No workouts planned and I’m still off my foot. Dogs frantic for walkies but all he gets is slow around-the-blocks. Yesterday was the fewest steps I’ve taken since starting MFP and getting an Apple Watch in late 2018. Except for my lowest day of COVID, lol.

@indoorsy_ i eat super high protein. My diary is open and generally pre-logged several days out. Today is cottage cheese heavy, though. 😗 I blocked out 1500 calories for the party but wanted to make sure I got a ton a protein in beforehand.

You’re welcome to send a friend request if you need to know what certain things are. (For ex, breakfast the past few days with the long list of ingredients is an own-recipe high protein devils food pancake with low cal “Nutella” spread. That batch was particularly kooky ingredient-wise because I had some stuff in the fridge to use up.)

thank you @springlering62, your profile is private so I wasn't able to look at your diary. today i had 2 eggs and 6 slices of chicken bacon and some tuna. at 68 grams protein which is better but not great.

Sorry. It’s set on public on my side. I actually looked at it yesterday. I was horrified to see another poster (not any of yall) had her email address visible to the world at large in her profile and checked my own settings.

Maybe with all the changes, you have to be friends to view food diaries nowadays. *sigh* I’d say again how cheesed off I am the the newsfeed is gone, but I’ve been getting some kickback from others that I need to back off lol. But cheesed I am! 😡

Anyway, good work on getting the protein up. My biggest boost is always having extra grilled or roasted meats on hand. I chop them up for low cal wraps, chicken salad, etc.

Another is a simple smoothie of a chocolate Corepower drink and a serving of low fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt) with ice. I add a couple drops mint, coconut or malt extract for fun. That’s almost 40 gr right there, for 260 calories, and it’s pretty tasty.
