Re: What did you eat today?
coffee w/soymilk
1 pizza crust
minestrone soup w/lentils
1/2 papaya (the huge kind)
3 berry juice boxes
homemade falafel balls dipped in hummus
tortilla chips & organic salsa
can you tell how much i love to cook and be healthy? although better than last night's dinner of popcorn w/sugar.

Re: What did you eat today?
Your day sounded super-good, Goodbye Girl.
Can you share your felafel recipe? I've made some in the past but they always end up really dry and kind of unappetising.
-
Re: What did you eat today?
Fiamma, did you fry or bake them?
-
Re: What did you eat today?
I fried them. I basically leave the dried chickpeas to soak for 24 hours, then whizz them in a blender with parsley, garlic, onion, spices and salt. I wouldn't say they're unappetising, just very dry, and not much like the ones I get when I go to a felafel place. Any suggestions? I try to avoid switching on the oven unless I'm baking multiple items, as it uses so much power.
-
Re: What did you eat today?
coffee + soya milk
oats, pear, nectarine + soya milk
minestrone soup
2 figs
coffee + soya milk
blackberry soya yogurt
lots of cherry tomatoes
butternut squash baked in the oven, served with quinoa and spicy tomato sauce

Snack: cereal bar
Dinner: Going out tonight so not sure....depends where I end up!
-
Re: What did you eat today?
All I've had today is two pieces of toast with Earth Balance and jam and a small juice and soy smoothie. It seems like I eat less and less these days. I really need to start eating before I start withering away.
ETA: I'm eating a "cheese" sandwich with romaine hearts and a glass of cider (American) right now. And I'm making some barley soup with loads of veggies for later, so maybe I'll actually get over 1,000 calories today. Since becoming vegan my appetite has gone way down. Or maybe as an omni I was eating so much and now I'm eating when I'm hungry. Who knows??
-
Re: What did you eat today?
B: Newman's high protien pretzels
-Smoothie (1/2 c soymilk, 1/2 c strawberries, 1/2 a banana)

Terriaki tofu

apple

-
Re: What did you eat today?
I haven't had any appetite at all today? Which is VERY unlike me. ;)
I had an apple for breakfast and then it got to be about 5pm and I realized I hadn't eaten anything else!
Maybe it's because I've increased my water intake so much (from one large glass a day to about 5).
Anyway -
1 red delicious apple
2 bowls of whole-wheat macaroni with lentils and garlic-basil pasta sauce and soy sauce. (It was yummier than it sounds).
Maybe a Luna bar or a smoothie later.

Things sort of went downhill after breakfast today, because I don't have any food in the house to bring to school for lunch, and the vegan choices at my uni are pretty slim most days...
Today:
Breakfast: the juice of nine freshly squeezed organic Valencia oranges (it made SO much, but it was SO good!)
"Lunch": bag of corn chips and chocolate soymilk drink box :o
Snack (4 p.m.): bowl of mulligatawny soup and a dinner roll
Supper: not sure yet, but I probably won't be hungry for a while after my late lunch. I might end up having a bagel with tofutti cream cheese

Vegan sushi is one of my favourite foods but I'm always too lazy to make it.
-
Re: What did you eat today?
Roxy - vegan donut holes are amazing!
but what are hobnobs?
-
Re: What did you eat today?
They're a type of oaty cookie. They're from England I think and made by a company called McVities.
-
Re: What did you eat today?
how many times has that question been asked now roxy? lol
-
Re: What did you eat today?
LOL 2.
I think these girls better get themselves some Hobnobs to try! ;) :D
-
Re: What did you eat today?

-
Re: What did you eat today?
You can't get hobnobs here in the US. :(
Sucks, because they look yummy.

That's funny - I was exactly the same with my parents, the only biscuits they ever bought were Digestives :D *zzzzzzzzzzzzz* And not even the kind with chocolate on them ;) I'm starting to eat them again now but for a time I couldn't face them. :)
-
Re: What did you eat today?

Re: What did you eat today?
Today's only early, so yesterday I ate:
Crispbreads with peanut butter and one with marmite, half a grapefruit
Salad with chickpeas, rocket, cucumber, tomato and lemon juice, a plum
Thai salad with tofu - the recipe is here and it is totally yummy:
http://www.uktvfood.co.uk/index.cfm?...cipe&ID=515754
I really recommend it. You can use other colour peppers, carrots, or anything else cruchy in the salad but it must contain swede. It's really really good.

I am recording and calculating my daily nutrient intake- it's an assignment for my nutrition class. Here is what I had yesterday, along with the nutrients we were required to record. I'm wondering why the professor didn't ask us to record vitamin d, b12, or E... but I recorded d and b12 anyway for my own curiosity.
The only vitamin I fell slightly short on was Vitamin A (so I went out and bought some yams today!), but everything else I got way more than enough of. I'm wondering how my omnivore classmates are doing...

strawberry soy yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice (calcium fortified)

2 cups chocolate soymilk

Probably not as good as you if the omnivores I know are anything like the ones you know.
What are yams? Are they sweet potatos? :confused:
-
Re: What did you eat today?
Just breakfast so far: 3 small slices of rye toast, 4oz. soy yogurt cup (peach!), glass of tomato juice, red delicious apple.
And some blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers. :D

vitamin B12 330%
Woah :eek: All from fortified soymilk/yoghurt? I'm also eating fortified stuff but wouldn't have thought of such huge amounts of B12...over here, they only enhance different faux meats with B12.
What I ate:
breakfast: berry muesli with vanilla soymilk
1 cup of coffee with soymilk
snack: 2 apple scones when I missed my underground and needed something sweet ;)
lunch:
leftover fried garlic tofu
spaghetti with pasta
snack: 1 pretzel when my friend missed her tram and I was waiting at the station
dinner: a huuuuuuuuuge wok full of broccoli stir-fry to make up for the absence of veggies and fruit all throughout the day (I was craving broccoli!) and some Turkish cocoa halva :cool:

Re: What did you eat today?
I went to Epcot yesterday, part of Disney World! It was so much fun, but I was pretty worried about what I was going to eat, as we went to the Magic Kingdom about a month ago and the pickins were very slim. Epcot has the World Showcase though, with ethnic food in each "country", so it worked out really well.
breakfast: kashi golean w/ ground flax, raspberries & soy milk
snack: three bean salad
For lunch we went to Biergarten, in the Germany pavilion. I was not hopeful for my options, since German food is generally so meat-and-potato-based (or at least that's our American opinion of it). But surprisingly the buffet had plenty for me to eat, and I left STUFFED. Food included cold green cabbage w/ caraway seeds, carrot & raisin salad, wax bean & baby carrots, greens w/ tarragon-mustard dressing, sliced beets, spelt w/ cucumber & dill, pretzel rolls, warm red cabbage, rosemary roasted potatoes & garlic with curry ketchup & sweet mustard, pineapple chutney, fruit salad, and applesauce. And a HUGE German wheat beer. Holy crap, I can't believe I ate all that in one sitting.
We ate dinner at the Japan pavilion, sat at the sushi bar. Started with edamame and a green salad w/ tomatoes & ginger dressing, then had a cucumber roll and another roll that had tempura-fried sweet potatoes and some kind of shredded gourd. And a Kirin beer.
After the park closed we went to ESPN club to watch the A's/Mariners game. Ate some seasoned fries so the bartender wouldn't get mad at us for taking up space.
Yesterday was such a good day :)

Re: What did you eat today?
jamboxrock that sounds like such a great day! such a yummy one as well!
-
Re: What did you eat today?
overslept - just a banana on the way to the bus stop.
in between lectures:
2 apples
pumpkin seed roll
soya milk + fruit juice drink
black coffee
soya yogurt (blackberry) + oats
quinoa, roast butternut squash + spicy tomato sauce
not a very good day.

Hi Sarah,
interesting assignment! Thanks for posting that. Just out of curiousity, do you think you're eating differently because you know you have to record it all, or is this how you'd normally eat?

Does tempura normally have egg?

You know, I was wondering that myself, and I didn't ask. I was so hungry, and all the employees were Japanese and didn't speak English that well, and that was the only veggie roll other than a plain cucumber roll or avocado roll. I should have asked. Anyone know for sure?
today:
lunch at Chevy's (Mexican restaurant): chips & salsa, portobello & asparagus burrito, black beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole & rice
snack: strawberry banana Silk soy yogurt and a pear
dinner: Amy's Texas burger on multi-grain bread w/ soy cheese, bbq sauce & bacos, assorted raw veggies w/ ranch dip, two Newman's Own hint of mint cookies

When I looked back at my food record, I realized I miscalculated... I actually had 430% for B12! And yes, all from fortified soymilk, soy yogurt, and nutritional yeast!

These are all things I normally eat. The only difference is that right now I'm avoiding foods that are high in calories with not many nutrients- like cookies- because I'm trying to lose some weight.
