Putting it in my mouth

New York strips, baked spud, sauteed onion/pepper/mushroom.

Onion/pepper/mushroom   

Probably the things I dislike the most...other than a little bit of onion for flavor.

Not exactly high calorie, but if you're looking for protein, you can get a two-pound tub of protein powder for $20 at Aldi's and Walmart.  At one protein smoothie a day, it lasts about a month.  A cup of milk (I use almond milk), a scoop of powder, and frozen fruit or ice and mix in a blender.  If you use ice, you'll probably want to use some kind of flavoring.  I use chocolate, caramel, and strawberry syrup, or those Italian syrups they sell to put in your coffee, but that's on top of fruit.

I have a supply of mango syrup that I sometimes put in my tea.  I actually looked at protein powder but wasn't sure what else to do.  Thanks!

If you have any sort of kidney issues, be careful with a high protein diet. I looked into the keto diet, but one has to be very careful with it if they have chronic kidney disease (which I do). I guess I could quit drinking beer, but I use it to flush my kidneys.

Since I seem to have passed the age of the kidney stone (knocks wood), my kidneys are fine.  I need to eat more regularly and obviously things that will maintain a healthy weight.  While others try to lose, I am trying to keep my pants from falling off where my ass should be.  I used to be able to monitor the fluctuations in weight by my boobs.  Now that they are man made, that isn't a good indicator any more.

I picked up what I need to make overnight oats this morning. I didn't try it in the first batches that I made, but I can't imagine that adding protein powder to them wouldn't work. I add dried fruit or raisins to mine, and add artificial sweetener, so I'm sure with some experimentation I could kill two birds with one stone. I also used to add squeeze jam or jelly or syrup on top when I made hot oatmeal. I'm starting with fruit alone. I added frozen strawberries to one and raisins to the other. After a day in the fridge I suspect the fruit will have thawed. I don't know how long that takes, but I won't be making mine close to bedtime, so it may not be an issue. I can make 2-4 tubs at a time and stack them in the fridge as they keep for up to five days.

The overnight oats worked well, even if they're not the best thing since sliced bread. The steel-cut oats and strawberries was good, if needing a bit of sweetness. The only issue was that two hours later I was hungry again, so I ate the second batch. I'll have to work on proportions. The second batch was overly sweet, but the raisins worked great. Soaking overnight left them plump and juicy.

Looking at a recipe suggests using applesauce in overnight cream of wheat. I'll have to try that with oats.

Plain potato chips.

Fresh strawberries and Reddi wip.

Panang curry chicken and rice. I got it a little spicy. Pretty good for my first time, though.

#2 son grilled a tri-tip. Came out excellent. Had some mixed vegetables to go with it.
