169 pounds. I should look for a job, but I am feeling depressed. Still, it is worth trying to run. This can help me with my mood. I made up my menu for today. There is a projected 2485 calories for today. However, if I run, I will need to consume more. I think this will be difficult. So somehow I may need to adjust for higher calorie foods.

I have introduce reagular daily helpings of meat into my diet. I have always been low on protien in the past. Now I exceed my protien requirement whch helps with exercise and building muscle. I find purchasing meat in quantity, and using the FoodSaver to package it in servings before placing the meat in freezer, works well. I find Costco’s prices are excellent. Most of the meat I purchase is relatively inexpensive pork.

PS I wonder how I can assess the calories for beef that has been dry aged. I have been doing this with a slab of beef. Dry aging tenderizes meat by breaking down the muscle fibers, so less protien is left. Also the meat loses at least 20 percent in weight.
