When?

.

.

I went to bed.  Not exactly sure when?  Ten?  In the morning type?  Actually, I think so.  Just waking at 22:00.  It was warm up there, 82 or so.  My guess is it was a bit warmer outdoors.  It is 71 now, so must have been quite warm, outright hot, out there.

With a near day of fasting under my feet, a bm out, and plenty of fluid as the body lets go of that, I thought I'd step on the scale again, this "morning".  244.3?  Down from 246.9, so a loss of 2.6 pounds?  That's cool.  I wonder if I should be fasting, after... just starting back on carnivore, and after starvation mode.  But... I'm... committed, so... oh well.  I'll go to Wednesday or Thursday.  Other than fatted coffees.  If even those will be on the lighter side.

Technically, again, a fasting blood sugar.  Not so swell, this time, at 148.  Still, it beats a 3xx read, or even a 2xx read.  So... there is that.  Though, too, regardless of fasting, my blood sugar read is usually higher in the literal evening.  Often, but not always, regardless of consumption or sleep cycle.  Which... can be... annoying.  But the facts are what they are.

I did sleep very well.  I am amazed that I can sleep in this heat.  No humidity, currently, to go with it.  Thankfully.  If I have to admit, even when it gets really humid, that doesn't seem to bother me anymore either, or nowhere near what it has in the past.  Something is really seriously changing.  It is as if I was young, again.  I mean... high school, teenage, type of young.  By feel, not function, or not function yet.

My muscles always hurt.  If that may be from obtaining more protein, finally, again, and using it to rebuild.  As I remember, muscle building is a painful process.  And, yes, just getting up off the floor, or going down to it, and rolling, will build muscle.  Especially while still carrying an extra twenty to fifty pounds.  Still amazed I have lost between five and seven pounds in the last two days.  Or was that all just in a 24 hour stint?  I... can't remember.  It's in the blog though.

Will weight loss continue at that pace?  Hmm, probably not.  I am fasting to... reset some things, lower blood sugar (which is my main goal with the diet anyway), though too I had some hope it would jumpstart fat consumption and weight loss.  But that was... an ulterior motive?  Or such.

I am pretty sure I need more protein.  I'm just not sure how to get it in.  Eggs... if I can keep up on eggs, boiled eggs, even five, or somehow ten, a day?  Maybe.  Five eggs would be about 32 grams of protein, if only 48% bioavailable?  Double that will still only be 64 grams?  I was right, the body builders I had know had been eating twenty, even forty when they could, boiled eggs a day, as their cheap protein.

Ah... the thing is?  They never pay for the powders.  Those are given as... products from sponsors.  I wondered how some of those meatheads could afford two hundred grams of protein in just powders a day.  Ah, now it makes sense.  Give some away, it gets spread by word of mouth (if a paid mouth).  The the rich jump on as if it was legit.  Ah, okay.  Man, I couldn't afford the eggs!  :p  Could... target my eating, at the chow hall, to a degree.  But that is nothing like that.  If I tried to pull forty, or even ten, boiled eggs a day, me and a mess chief would be having a talk.  You can do the scrambled, but the fats were seed oils.  Ugh.  I had limits.  Still do.

Well, and it isn't just eating, or sourcing.  There is the cooking, peeling, and storing.  To do three dozen a day, you would need to prep twenty one dozen a week, to net 36 eggs a day.  Which still isn't forty, but...  And that would net 180 plus 18, so right at 200 grams of carbs a day.  But, wow...  And, eating that many eggs?  What about half that, so eighteen eggs a days, ten and a half dozen a week, so 100 grams of proteins (just from eggs) a day.  It would still come down to being able to eat that many, and still eat anything else?  You'd, I would I should say, still need another fifty to hundred grams of protein from other sources.  Mind you, a pound of ribeye only has 34 grams or protein?  Let me check.  Nope?  It's saying it has 134 grams of protein?

Woah!  Then I am much closer.  Or... there is a way to it.  That was a 16 ounce steak.  A 24 ounce steak, a pound and a half, which is how I have them cut, would offer... 134/2= 67, 134+67=201?  But, I am only eating half that.  Still, with eggs?  How about a third of that?  67 grams.  Hmm...  I... may have a way to it.  But, currently, am not up to eating that much.  But, with a third of a steak, and five eggs?  67+3x=9x to 100?  Hmm...  Maybe I CAN get to 155 grams, as my wound doctor wants.  Not with ribeye alone.

I wonder what sirloin offers, as protein?  At a pound, it offers 104 grams of protein.  At a thicker cut pound and a half, it is 156.  Hmm, so... half that, half a ribeye (or some portion of hamburger), plus ten eggs, would... be right around the 150 to 200 range.  Just... thinking.  I really missed some numbers, somewhere.  I was on the right track, but was misled by bad data somewhere.  Nice... I... may see what I can do.

Not only would it help the healing, it would allow muscle growth.  And maintenance.  I... may see if I can't get closer, in time.  If I can maintain my weight, that is.  That would require exercise, though, too.  But... maybe.  The right food might allow me to function, better (or at all really), in the first place?  Hmm...  I have been starving for decades.  Now... things are starting to make more sense?  Maybe.

Well, on to tinkering, reading, listening.  Later.
