[Penny]

Yesterday:
Breakfast - porridge made with muesli and water (don't like raw muesli...)
Lunch - large bowl of Scotch Broth (onions, carrots, turnip, leeks, barley, butter beans)
Dinner - sausage stew with potatoes and peas
No green leafies but I'll make up for that today.
Snacks - none - I'm on a weight loss thing (NOT a diet!) and it's working so don't want to give up...

So far today:
Breakfast (on the move) - Nak'd Bar (aren't they great?)
Lunch - I'm just about to make lentil soup
Dinner - will be cauliflower cheesley (cheezley sauce for family, grated for me), salady stuff (watercress, dark green leaves, celery, peppers etc.) and chips for family (toast for me)

Actually this doesn't look as healthy as we usually eat.... Hmm.... This could be a good wee exercise to keep me on my toes - following up this thread!

[Korn]

I had a day with mainly Middle Eastern food yesterday:

Snack: Vegan Fajitas (bought at Ikea! They also have other vegan options now).
Lunch: Pita w/hummus from a Lebanese cafe. I still wonder why their hummus so often taste better than the one I make...
Travel food (I normally don't eat while I'm in a car, but yesterday was an exception): Falafel, salad and baba ganoush from a takeaway place. Pistachio nuts and a pear.

Dont think that i sounds like you are eating to much...Sounds very healthy

[rainbowcarousel]

Dont think that i sounds like you are eating to much...Sounds very healthy

Thanks for the positive thoughts but its the quantities that concerns me... a whole 200g pot of hoummous with a whole packet of celery; 8 falafel; choc bar AND fruit & nut bar?! and the amount of rice in my stirfry - nearly twice the amount you get in a takeaway portion. I'm hoping I will naturally eat a little less as I get used to the foods. I'm loving them so much I jsut want to eat loads.

I think I'm going to keep a food diary. Then again, if I compare to a typical omni day of mine, complete with fast food and high fat dressings and other dairy snacks... urgh *shudder*.

I ate loads when I first went vegan, and it settled out. Like you say, the foods are so much yummier and your body probably recognises that they are less toxic and wants to stock up! It doesn't sound like you're eating too much to me, but if it's not 'normal' for you then it will settle down if it needs to. Don't worry...just enjoy the yumminess

Ikea - good for vegans?! Last time I went, I had plain pasta and passata. Not the most inspiring meal! I'm due another trip though, I'll have to have words

Pretty lean day, Frosty!

I had quite an indulgent day

Breakfast: homemade muesli with almond milk and maple syrup

Snack: hot chocolate (made with maple syrup and cocoa instead of sugar and cocoa!) with 3 vegan marshmallows

Lunch: leftover pizza

Supper: yummy green vegetable curry made with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and green beans.

Dessert: homemade cake! (Tara's chocolate cake and Tara's chocolate frosting from "La Dolce Vegan"). The cake didn't turn out too well, it was too moist (I think the recipe calls for too much water), so it broke horizontally as I was removing it, leaving a bunch of cake in the pan. So I just frosted the top half anyway, it still tasted FABULOUS. I've never had such a moist cake, I think it would have been perfect if it hadn't broken on its way out of the pan. And the frosting (page 261) was the best I've ever had in my entire life! Sooo fluffy! *runs to get another piece*

[Animosity]

Breakfast:
Cornflake cerial with dried strawberries and rasberries and unsweetend chocolate almond milk.

Thanks! I love it... and people actually knew the word vegan and asked me if I was!! And then they said "well we have gluten free, low sodium, and soy-free sauces in addition to also being vegan". They seemed actually interested in my veganism instead of making fun of me!! And they're like well "veganism is great, so I guess you'll know what you're talking about".
