Just the sheer absurdity of it. Certainly not the taste. I guess the brick is for fiber.But, what's fun about beef smoothies?

Roommate's leaving the country for 2 weeks and leaving all her groceries behind -- including a HUGE bag of fresh arugula. Soooo this is now my lunch plan for next week:
Roasted Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad | my kitchen addiction
Other roommate just told me I can use some of her quinoa -- meaning all I'll have to buy for this recipe will be the squash and the chopped nuts (I will use pecans, because pecans > walnuts).
Didn't get to the gym this week. Tried like three times. I'm not sure how to get around the fact that when I get home from work, I'm hungry, and I don't want to leave home after I eat dinner. Maybe I'll have to start getting to sleep at like 10pm each night so I'll be awake enough to go to the gym before 6.

I'm sure Jezza would be happy to build you a Corvette blender for making beef smoothies.

^ Made that today and I think it's going to be good!Soooo this is now my lunch plan for next week:

Tomorrow I'm going to the gym after work, and taking [MENTION=19948]Showbread[/MENTION]'s advice re: filling snacks (hummus and carrots).
I thought of you guys today. I make these mini frittatas all the time (they reheat great too) and I thought you could use the idea. They are high protein and you could customize them with any ingredients you have on hand.
Start with this..
8 large eggs (or equivalent substitute)
1/4 cup whole milk (any milk or milk substitute will be fine)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
This recipe will make 12 muffin tins worth or 24 small minis. Grease really well or use silicone muffin liners. You could even bake this in a pan and cut into pieces.
I like to add cooked crumbled bacon, fresh spinach leaves or big amounts of flat parsley and other chopped herbs. Cooked meat or faux sausage/ham/bacon, seeded diced tomato, whatever. Top with cheese - feta is great with spinach, cheddar is good with bacon and so on. Fill up and bake about 25 minutes at 350 (177C if you need that conversion).
One of these between a whole wheat English muffin or toast makes a good, fast breakfast and taste good at room temperature too.
Unexpected setback...
... don't look in the spoiler tags if you're "cooties"-prone...
Whenever I get PMS, I want to eat CONSTANTLY. Like, stuffing my face with some kind of food item every hour of the day. I guess the best I can do is make sure I'm stuffing my face with healthy food? Continuing to minimize desserts and carbs?
Probably everything that I usually snack on: carrots and hummus, pumpkin cereal bars (from Trader Joe's!), lightly salted almonds, beef jerky. I could also just repeat meals, e.g. cereal before bed, another helping of dinner food.Maybe go easy on the salt, too. Bloating is no fun.
IDK what that leaves you to snack on.

WORTH IT.Confession: I just ate a frosted sugar cookie from Panera. It was adorable and shaped like a pumpkin. Don't even feel guilty about it. I wasn't going to get one, but it was free because I had a birthday last month. So, I caved. Dammit PMS! My dinner on the other had was actually pretty healthy.
