Last week I did a day of "grazing" and found it very satisfying. Grazing is eating multiple small meals rather than 3 meals a day. I'd like to try it for 2 weeks and see if there are benefits for me.

I'll post my graze and edit this post as the day progresses. But I wanted to share an accidental success - maybe a newly invented recipe.

Philly Beef Rollups:
1 slice deli roast beef
1 tablespoon onions and 2 strips red or green peper, sauteed until tender but not mushy.
1 slice of cheese, swiss is good.

Place the roast beef flat on a cutting board or dinner plate.
Put swiss cheese slice on top
Pile the sauteed onion and pepper on one end
Roll up tightly cigar style
Microwave just until the cheese gets soft but not real runny
Eat hot, or allow to cool and eat as finger food

Your carb counts will vary depending on the brand of cheese and roast beef you use. Mine worked out to 2.7 per rollup. 2 rollups are very filling.

Everyone have a great day!

The day's graze:
4 cups of black coffee
3 philly beef rollups
2 hard boilded eggs
2 slices swiss cheese
2 pepperettes
5 large radishes

Dinner was a spur of the moment extravaganza cuz I felt like tinkering in the kitchen:
broiled rainbow trout fillet
salad with 3 kinds of lettuce, and assorted chopped veggies with oil and vinegar dressing
broiled mushroom caps stuffed with crumbled bacon, sauted onions and red peppers, mozzarella cheese

Hey! We have a Daily Menus forum now -- thank you, Wa'il. Now there will be no excuse for people saying "what can I eat."

Thanks for the recipe -- that looks good, and easy :)

This is the beginning of "You're Going to Cook, Dammit" week for me.

Breakfast: 4 slices slab bacon (no nitrates), 2 scrambled eggs

Lunch: filet mignon (I bought four really nice ones), steamed asparagus with butter (baby asparagus, thinner than my finger)

Dinner: short ribs parisienne (found a crockpot recipe on the net; basically short ribs and onions cooked all day, then mushrooms suateed in butter and added at the end, with sour cream) wiith Brussel sprouts a la Marlaine (sliced and sauteed with garlic and butter)
