1/4 in. thick 50 C.
Butter, 1/4 cu. in 25 C.
Hot water flavored with coffee 00 C.
-----
Total 75 C.

You may prefer many more calories for breakfast, or none at all. This
may not look good to you, but it means an awful lot in my young life,
after my exercise and bath, to sit down to my little breakfast and read
the papers.

Recently I have found that two cups of moderately hot water with the
juice of a lemon answers just as well as the toast and watery coffee,
and is probably better. You might like some fruit.


MY LUNCHEON

1 corn muffin--I am patriotic 125 C.
1 pat butter 100 C.
1 cup coffee with 1 tbsp. cream 50 C.
------
Total 275 C.

If you are patriotic and constipated, substitute one bran muffin. You
can see that this is in reality a further extension of my sumptuous
breakfast. If I get tired of this, I add a salad of

Lettuce, large amount, practically 00 C.
Roquefort cheese dressing 100 C.

I am very fond of this Roquefort cheese dressing; 1-1/8in. cube of
cheese in a little vinegar, no oil, keeps it within the hundred
calories.

You might prefer a baked apple or two tomatoes, or a dish of prunes, or
3 oz. of cottage cheese. The chief thing is to take what you like, not
what I like. Count your calories.


MY DINNER

[Sidenote: _I Don't Mean Your Husband's Dessert, I Mean My Husband's. My
Word! I Got Out of That Quick!_]

Vegetable soup, or bouillon, no fat;
or small oyster cocktail 25 C.
Lean meat, or "unthinking" lobster
or fish, 5 or 6 oz 300 C.
Large serving of uncooked lettuce or
cabbage, practically 00 C.
