I attended a conference for most of the day today, so my post-lunch food options were limited. I planned ahead with some Nick’s Sticks grass-fed “mini beef bites” and SeaSnax seaweed, made with olive oil. While driving a friend back to the apartment he’s staying in this weekend, we stopped off at a 24-hour kabob restaurant to finish off the night.

John’s food below is a perfect example of the kind of middle eastern food I ate regularly once upon a time, with bread, rice, and delicious curry sauce that also likely comes with hidden starches and sugar:

I stuck with a small bowl full of meat for my own nightcap, falling short on the veggies for today — but I’ll try to make up for that tomorrow.

Here are my food photos for day 31:
