Numerical coincidences in dieting

[mtbc]

Today I notice that champagne and orange juice are similarly calorific. That is convenient for being careless with the ratio when making mimosas. Last weekend when we had either ham or sausage to put on muffins, those disks of processed meat had the same calorie count so that simplified my food log. That the muffin I had on Monday happened to have the same number of calories as the potato I ate yesterday evening reminds me of the birthday paradox. (Well, tatties rather than potato, given Burns Night.)

I'm trying really hard to limit sugar in my diet, because the digestive specialist I saw about reflux thinks it's one of the things complicating my problems. (sigh) Of course it would be sugar and not something I hate.

So I've been eating salads and soups and light meals.

I can't do a lot of protein because of kidneys not being 100%, so keto is totally out. (Plus, honestly, that's such a dangerous damn diet. I don't know how it became so popular!)
