What did you eat today? (2-12)

[brighteyed]

I need to eat more so its great to see what you eat Aphrodite, it lets me see what a healthy vegan meal plan looks like (:

anyway, yesterday i had:

B- some kashi w/almond milk
plum
tea
L- luna bar
apple
S- few dates
some almond milk w/ protein powder (heated like hot chocolate...yummy)
D- tofu w/ soy sauce
portobello mushroom cap
steamed veggies
1/2 c. veggie soup
S- tea, some soy milk

My college has very few vegan options

[foxytina_69]

lol i can feel aphrodite laughing when she reads that LOL.

you eat very healthy for having few options brighteyed!

to add to my yesterday list, i just had some tomato soup. (i count it as yesterday because i havent slept yet so technically its still sunday to me)

[brighteyed]

haha thanks, I'm trying. It's just not calorically sufficient (I counted under 600 yesterday..very bad..) so I need to up it majorly. I'm trying to find ways to do that without getting stuffed. I guess there's always tofutti

[herbwormwood]

I think vegans need to eat larger quantities of food than omnis or lacto ovo veggies because fruit and vegetables contain fewer calories and are often not so high in protein.
Today I ate cornflakes with vanilla soya milk,
I had a large salad for lunch with Udo's choice, veggie mayonnaise engevita flakes, cider vinegar and herbamare, with a soup of miso and marigold boillion,
I had a small snack of almonds and roasted channa dal,
and for tea I will have leftover chilli with brown rice.
It was made with carrots, red pepper, arame seaweed, onions, kidney beans, quinoa, carob powder, hemp flour, sweetcorn, jalapenos, green beans, tomatoes, vegetable oil and marigold stock powder.
Edit:I did eat this chilli & rice but it looked a bit small so I added a ripe avocado and a large fresh tomato and some engevita flakes after I had re-heated it.

[BlackCats]

Ha ha Foxy, I did laugh at that as it goes, yes I am not usually known for being a healthy eater - more like a human dustbin.

Brighteyed - look at herbwormwood's daily intake, that is much healthier than mine.

[foxytina_69]

i dont think youre a bad eater at all aphrodite, i just know you always say things like that about yourself about how you ate healthy but will eat crap or something along those lines and i thought youd get a kick out of it. really though you eat a lot better than i do LOL. i used to be such a bad eater that i would skip everything else altogether so i could eat a whole huge bag of chips!

herbwormwood, i agree 100%!!!

[emzy1985]

BREAKFAST:

Baked beans with two wholemeal toast slices, spread with pure and vegimite. (Cut them into triangles and scooped the beans up!)

Crispy rock mock sweet chilli duck, wholemeal rice with steamed brocolli, carrots and soy sauce!

(Lots of carbs again today. Just easy when I'm busy I suppose. I complain about carbs because I sit on my arse for 12 hours a day and do hardly any if any at all exercise.)

[jamboxrock]

Yesterday was a looooooong travel day from California back to Florida...Ate a combination of what I brought, what they gave us on the plane, and what I could find...

breakfast: mini-wheats w/ soymilk, a tangerine

snack: wheat pita w/ roasted red pepper hummus, salsa flavored chips, pumpkin spice latte w/ soymilk

"lunch": rosemary cracker, two eensy boxes of raisins, mixed nuts, an apple, sprite zero

snack: small handful of gross roasted peanuts

snack: toasted veggie chips, packet of dried mixed fruit

dinner (at almost midnight): two seven layer burritos minus dairy, diet pepsi so I could stay up during the drive home

[Tigerlily]

jamboxrock, I'm sorry but I don't think mini-wheats are vegan (the Kellogg's version at least).

[foxytina_69]

they probably are in the US.

today:

dinner:
-vegan egg mcmuffin (scrambled tofu, vegan sausage, vegan bacon, ketchup, on an english muffin)
-some cracker chip things
-diet green tea drink

oh god i hope this stays down. i havent eaten yet but i am so not feeling good.

[jamboxrock]

jamboxrock, I'm sorry but I don't think mini-wheats are vegan (the Kellogg's version at least).

Yeah, unfortunately it's possible, although I think I'm okay. They're *organic* frosted mini-wheats, if that's any different. Ingredients are: organic whole wheat , organic evaporated cane juice syrup, natural mixed tocopherols for freshness, reduced iron, niacinamide, zinc oxide, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin b6), riboflavin (vitamin b2), thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin b1), folic acid, vitamin b12.

So yeah, I couldn't be sure without further research, but honestly I was in an unfamiliar grocery store looking for a cereal I could eat and that seemed like the best bet. Thanks for the warning though!

[jamboxrock]

today:

breakfast: raisin bran w/ soymilk, oj

lunch: salad (leaf lettuce, cucumber, broccoli, shredded carrot, sprouts, chickpeas, vinaigrette), 5 small breadrolls w/ marinara

snack: mixed nuts, packet of dried tropical fruit

dinner: wakame salad, edamame, veggie roll

snack: salsa flavored chips

[RubyDuby]

they probably are in the US.

They arent. They contain geletin. The bf accidentally bought some a few months ago, but apparently the organic ones are ok.

[herbwormwood]

What is this please?

Herbamare is a substitute for salt made with sea salt, herbs and spices. Google it for what it looks like and where to buy.

[Tigerlily]

Oh okay. Just that my mom bought me regular mini wheats once and they had gelatin

[foxytina_69]

[emmapresley]

coco pops and soya milk..
rocket wraps!! cucumber chilli nibbles
lentil and spinach glop..brown basmati rice.

i'm not drinking enough water.

does barney gumble live above moe's tavern and gets there by sliding down a pole?

[Tigerlily]

Banana and 3 cups of tea (brr it is cold today)
4 hash browns, 1 veggie sausage, 2 grilled tomatoes and 2 w/m toast

Packet of ready salted crisps

Sweetcorn, peas and greens in chilli and soya cream with noodles

Also I took 6 Brewers Yeast tablets
(I read on net they can be good for getting rid of cold sores, it said peanuts may cause them which is typical as I ordered a big bag of peanuts in my shopping last time.)

L-lysine pills are EXCELLENT. They work better than my prescription cold sore medicine. Take 1-2 500mg pills when you feel a cold sore coming and one with every meal once you have one.

[BlackCats]

Yes Tigerlily I might get some lysine tablets tomorrow actually.

The article I read said lysine was in some food but another amino acid arginine competes with it for absorption in the intestines, so the less arginine there is in the diet, the more lysine is absorbed.
Apparently chocolate, peanuts, and almonds all contain arginine so I will lay off them for a while as well.

[pavotrouge]

[Frosty]

I went on a team development day today with my office team and the hostel team as well, to try and destress and bring us together etc etc etc...

Lunch was thrown in with this, and one of the bosses got in contact with them last week with the different dietary requirements - religious reasons, veggies and one vegan (moi!).

For my lunch today I was served with some lettuce between two slices of bread Mmmm, filling! Bearing in mind that there was so much food for the other people that most went to waste. That's a lot of dead animals that ended up in the bin.... grumble, grumble, grumble...

Back home now though, so going to find something a little more substantial for my dinner me thinks. Need some fluffing wine too I think!

[emzy1985]

If someone fed me a lettuce sandwich I'd probably throw it at them!

[Frosty]

I was too tired I had to keep going over to the drinks point to pick up sugar cubes to keep me going.

[BlackCats]

That is really irritating Frosty - Salad veg, roasted veg, houmous, olives, avocado, get a jar of PB or jam even! - is it so difficult for them to make a blinking vegan sandwich?

[Frosty]

That was the annoying thing - it's not that hard, and it was a 'catering' company apparently. The rest of them had a huge buffet to choose from as well. Gah!

Oh well, at least I know what I can eat, and there is a huge lovely pie that I have just put together and is browning away nicely in the oven right now so soon I shall be eating that.

[Mystic]

[jamboxrock]

how do you make creamed corn, jamboxrock?

It's from a can You could probably simulate it by whizzing up some cork kernels in a blender, but I wouldn't guarantee it.
