We're one third done with our diet!
Breakfast was oatmeal made with soy milk and blueberries again (242 cal) and a banana (90 cal) mid-morning.
Lunch was Sicilian Tomato Salad (82 cal) and an almond butter sandwich on my homemade white bread (237 cal).
Mid-afternoon I ate a bag of peanuts (260 cal).
I was pretty excited about dinner because I finally got my shipment of Indian spices - mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and some other things I don't really know what they are, just that they are called for in my Indian cookbook and I didn't have them on hand).
So I made mixed vegetable curry (182 cal) - made with cauliflower, onions, tomatoes, chilies, green beans peas, and carrots. I had a beer while making dinner and one with dinner (320 cal).
It was quite good! Nice, mild flavor.
Along with the curry we had hot and sour noodle soup (324 cal). Can't say I was crazy about this dish. Not a lot of flavor. I intentionally didn't put much spice in because Kandie can't eat hot foods, but even so, there just wasn't much there.
Dessert was going to be a fired banana, but it made it's way into Day 11's lunch.
For exercise I mowed the lawn, which wasn't exciting, but was necessary.
Day summary:
Calories consumed: 1,896
Calories burned: 431 - 11,271 steps
Weight: 168.6
Protein 55g
Carbs 220g
Fat 60g
Still feeling good, but worrying maybe the weight loss is from muscle loss given the lower protein intake.

Here is a very good series of reader-friendly papers on protein. I think the points are all well laid out, and this guy isn't selling anything. (At least not in these articles, I think he has some DVDs of his lectures and cooking classes).
