Carbs Are Hard to Balance

Tricky devils, those carbs. I made it through my first day on the Mrs. Iowa plan and discovered that I ate way too many carbs! The problem is in my protein shakes that have a nice amount of protein but also a whole bunch of carbs. I was not looking carefully enough when those were purchased.

At work, I am unable to take a break to eat. So, the shakes were an easy way to get in my 10:00 and 2:00 meals while sitting in session with patients. Now what?! I can't just whip out a baggie of beef jerky and start snacking away in the midst of sessions. Anybody know of some low carb protein drinks that don't taste like crap?

Not sure about shakes, but have you tried edamame? It's SO yummy and kinda fun to eat.

How do you cook it or eat it.
