Day 23: Dinner
10:30pm Vegetarian frankfurters and salad with Crackerbreads
I only had 200 calories left in my allowance for dinner and so I had to design this meal based on nutritional information I’ve collected so far. I needed to have protein and fat with little carbohydrates. A splash of balsamic (no oil) on the salad.
