Meal 4:
Ham, gravy, Parmesan 512 cal/day
For the meal I prepared in the video, I started with the same omelet, only using Trader Joe's hot sauce and the Kraft sharp yellow cheese. As usual, the cheese bumped the calories from 250 to 449. The fats in the cheese keep hunger pangs down all day.
With 289 grams of ham, one cup of turkey gravy, 113 grams of Parmesan cheese, and 21 chopped vegetables, the large lunch bowl has 1025 calories, for the two-days worth of food. .
Around 5:00 PM, I made a 32-oz decaf coffee with a cup of whole milk. This is 150 calories. The day's calories are 449 + 512 + 150 = 1111. This is well under my 1200-calorie goal. Since the vegetable bowl is enough for two days, I eat the same things the next day. Having these meals over the 8-day period allowed me to lose three pounds more. I have several weeks to lose the last of the 20 pounds, five more pounds to go.
