Much better today. I talked briefly with another soldier about what a chore it is to try to get the amount of protein a lot of magazines and weight control plans recommend: 1g/lb of body weight. I can't imagine choking down enough bars, protein powder and chicken breasts to get to 220g of protein.

But maybe I'll try it one day this week. (It'll be even harder once the boys get here for the summer.)
