By the way, Tom and Ahmed have declared that, from now on, for every
pound I lose I have to buy them a sushi dinner :-). (In other words,
they don't want me to lose any more.)

Chris,

I'm always very envious when I look at your daily food intake. How in the
world can you afford to eat that well? It all sounds very good, too. If I
could adjust your menu to about 2100 calories, I'd be set for life.

Instead...
6:00 1 Cup Kashi Go Lean Cereal with 1/2 cup 2% milk
9:00 23g whey shake and one small Granny Smith apple
12:00 Detour protein bar
3:00 6 oz Strawberry Fat Free Yogurt and .5 oz blanched peanuts
5:30 Small pickled polish sausage and .5 oz blanched peanuts
7:30 1 Cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal with 1/2 cup 2% milk
8:30 Post workout 35g whey shake and one medium banana

And probably Tuna Salad for lunch...

Mike

Well, I don't know that I usually spend a lot on food. Dining out
like I did last night is an exception, of course, but it's not
critical to my way of eating. (And besides, I didn't eat that much
sushi. My tab was something like $16, compared to around $40 for
Ahmed :-) .) My breakfast cereal, protein supplement, and banana
snack aren't much different than what you're eating, and I assume no
more expensive. And I snacked on almonds and you on peanuts -- not
sure there's much difference there. For my lunch, I get all the
veggies and fruit from the office cafeteria sold-by-weight salad bar
-- averages around $3.00, I think. I'd probably spend quite a bit
more if I tried to keep all this produce at home, as we don't finish
it before it goes bad. I did bring a piece of salmon from home, but
that's about the only somewhat-expensive grocery item there.

I am not on a tight budget, though, but I know that affording
nutritious food is a challenge for many, whether dieting or just
trying to be healthy.

I'm right there with you Chris. I'm not on a tight budget but I
suspected that our grocery bill was significantly higher than it has
been in the past. We ran some Quicken reports this weekend and it is
higher -- not sure how much of that is "real" and how much of that is
more or less transferred "entertainment" money (we are eating in more).
I know that I spend quite a bit on produce. DH says that he doesn't
care that we are spending more because we are eating really well and we
don't go out much and we don't waste the food. He is really good about
taking in leftovers to work for lunch -- I'm not quite as good about
that. I can certainly see that this might be a monetary challenge to some.

FWIW, I did go ahead and get the FoodSaver. My plan is to do more with
buying "family sized" items and repacking them for our two-person
household. I've also put my nuts into mason jars and sealed them. It's
a fun gadget and it was a nice way to spend the $100 windfall that I
recently had.

Then they should hold out for a "Pizza Hut Meat-Lover's Pizza" dinner
instead of sushi! (Then make you eat it.) (As if you could stomach it!)

Well, maybe one slice :-). But I don't think Ahmed would touch it.
