nutrition information



As another step in No Die '09, I'm changing breakfast from a meat-egg-and-cheese sandwich (Death's Blanket, 500 calories) to cereal.

It's different to make meals with a measuring cup. More linear. A cup of soy and one of Total is 190 calories. What the fuck is riboflavin? I'm glad you asked. Riboflavin increases the portion of funk a person is allocated in a given day, useful in performing complicated handshakes and understanding the accents of people who did not attend prep school.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) helps the body to metabolize and create carbs, proteins, and fats. If consumed in high enough doses, folic acid conjures the semi-clad ghost of William Faulkner, who after a brief mean inscrutable haunting ultimately becomes your trusted dietary coach and as an added benefit constantly explains the phenomena of nature to you in inspired language.

My foray into portion control has admittedly been tentative. It dies with coffee, where my method remains add as much water and coffee as will fit, brew, then mix in Coffeemate Hazelnut until it's potable. Somebody: invent an Egg and Cheese Zero.
