Did you know speckled jelly eggs have no fat? It's true, according to the packaging anyway, and considering that they are basically gummy dense marshmallows with a hardened sugar shell they'd better not have any fat. They also have 150 Calories per 13 eggs, so if you eat all 8 servings that come in one bag, you'd still get 1200 Calories from your snack, but no fat. You'd also probably get a few cavities in your premolars, since they stick a lot worse than marshmallows. Considering that over the past few days I have mostly just eaten speckled jelly eggs, bacon, and a few turkey sandwiches, it looks like I might be well on my way to being a new spokesperson for this new lowfat diet. Vitamin B-complex from the turkey sandwiches, plus a little vitamin E. ( I still am eating the Good Bread with all the nuts and extra grains in it, and turkey has some vitamin E.) Vitamin A from the turkey and bacon, and the bread. Not much vitamin C, but a supplement should work for that. Vitamin D comes from the sun, and the reaction that its light initiates in my skin, assuming I get any sun, of course, but I have been outside easily enough over the past few days to gather enough vitamin D for the week. There's at least some iron in the bread, and maybe a trace of iron, plus anti-oxidants in my dark coffee.
At this rate the government may have a point about that any reasonably caloric diet is bound to be a sufficient source of nutrients by their standards.
