i just soaked them in water overnight so they are easily digestible and a little softer.

I don't think it looks like a lot of food. The only thing that I don't see are a lot of protein sources...I think you should include more beans, nuts, and fake meats (if you're into that) in your diet and then it would nicely balanced.

I'm fighting off the flu. I've had half a can of five bean soup, lots of orange juice, several handfuls of pumpkin seeds, and several Cold Eeze zinc gumballs. Than I read that zinc therapy is useless against the flu. The gumballs are also not vegan.:(
