Pesach and nutrition

[cellio]

Notes to self for next year:

• Use fish, a lot, to make up the protein deficit (waa! no soy!) without driving calories through the roof. That much meat, cheese, and egg is bad for you.
• But not tuna salad. I mean real fish, several times during the week. Fresh fish freezes.
• Eat more fruit. Fruit doesn't have to come in cans, you know; there's this place called the produce aisle.
• Eat more veggies too. Buy a microwave-safe casserole for this.
• There's a vitamin-balance problem, but I don't know how to fix it when the balanced breakfast drink is off limits.
• Baby carrots are not the only convenient raw veggie -- just the most convenient one. 400% RDA on Vitamin A is probably bad for you, even if it's only a week.
• Maybe you shouldn't eat matzah after the seders. It's not required, and there are other delivery systems for cheese and jam. Ok, maybe not jam, but you shouldn't be eating much of that anyway.

You'll be happy to hear that the nearby bakery obviously got tipped off that there was some major jewish festival thingy happening about now, so they baked lots and lots of extra loaves of challah. The staff were looking sufficiently bemused and depressed when I went past there this evening that I didn't feel justified in wandering in and hitting them with a clue stick.
