I've been calling it "clear diet fruit flavored soda," but it's actually name is Clear American Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage, but that's a pretty long name.

Breakfast was my standard McTazin, named after my wife.  I think it's a good healthy way to start the day.  There's a turkey sausage patty, an egg, some cheese and a multi-grain English muffin.  I washed it down with a cup of green tea and a slice of watermelon (more carb).

I finally purchased some ricotta cheese, which allow me to make a few different smoothies.  So, I was able to make a "Whey Too Good Smoothie" for my late morning/early afternoon (normally around 11 am) snack/meal/etc.  It was thick and rich.  I used some of the frozen turkey  meatballs that have been in my freezer for forever to make a meatball sandwich for lunch.  I poached them in some marinara, but the sauce defrosted the balls, but doesn't seem to penetrate or add any tomato flavor to them. Anyway, I tossed them on top of a whole-wheat bun.  I finished with a few baby carrots.

I added more turkey meatballs to some spaghetti and marinara for my carby post resistance training workout meal.  I rounded things off with some green beans and a Kiwi-Strawberry Clear American.  I think I fell asleep before I had any dessert.

I hurt my knee during yesterday's workout.  I took the advice of PT guy and tried to do squats, which always hurt my knees. I've been doing this long enough, to know to listen to my own body.  So, I iced it when I got home.

I hope the time on the treadmill and bicycle today warmed it up and stretched it out sufficiently.

Same breakfast today as yesterday, then a smoothie for mid-morning (really late morning).  Same lunch too.

After getting home from the gym, I slammed my chocolate milk and a random protein shake sample the Rush Nutrition people were handing out at the gym. Just to be consistent, I had the same dinner as yesterday as well, throwing in a side salad with balsamic dressing.

1 McTazin: Multi-grain English Muffin, sausage patty, egg and cheese
