Afternoon snack
The simplest dessert of the week: strawberries with cream you whip yourself, no sugar added. Cream from an aerosol can is sweetened, so it won't do here.

Dinner
Pan-fried turkey breast steaks with spinach wilted in butter and garlic. Turkey breast has 23.7 g of protein per 100 g and just 1.5 g of fat, so the fat on the plate comes from the butter.

Mushrooms sautéed in butter, with cheddar melting inside the omelette. Keep the heat high, because on a low one the mushrooms release their water and stew instead of browning.
