Hey, hey!
It seemed like a lot of you guys liked my original “In the Name of Science: 4 Days of Meals & Snacks,” so I decided to write another one. My participation in the ulcerative colitis study actually ended last week (it was just a 6-week study), so I won’t need to track my food intake anymore, but I still thought you guys might want to see what I ate in my final week. Spoiler: I ate a lot of eggs, cereal, and soup. I was kind of lazy with my diet, but, hey, it happens to the best of us. And I’m back on track this week and that’s the best I can do, right? (FYI: I’m not sure when the results of the study will be available, but I will definitely share them on CNC!)
