[Back-Space]

I just had one of those Yves veggie burgers.... Omg that was amazing With the ketchup on there I wouldn't have been able to tell that it wasn't actually meat

[veganwitch]

a small piece of cigarillo- seitan and Daiya wrapped in a tortilla, deep-fried, and dipped in vegenaise. (omg)

[RubyDuby]

is that all you eat? Maybe that's why you're having trouble getting enough protein? If you eat enough calories with a healthy diet you should be fine, but that doesn't sound like much food! (feel free to tell me to mind my own business )

yesterday:

gingerbread soy latte
peanut butter on Ezekiel toast
salad with olives, pickles and mushrooms
leftover seitan roast with roasted onions and a si8de of cranberry sauce
boca burger on whole grain roll (lettuce, tomato, red onion, picles, ketchup)
steak fries

[TXvegan]

Fruit and a Larabar for breakfast

Hummus, falafel, baba gnoush, and flat bread in a Middle Eastern restaurant for lunch.

Dinner was a bowl of tomato soup and a sandwich of hummus, avocado, red onion, and lettuce.

Hey! Mind your own business Lol. No, I had a bunch of walnuts and almonds, peanut butter sandwich and toast in the morning. I had the burger for lunch along with some vegetables and fruit for dessert, and I had a good bit of soup for dinner. But that's 2 days in a row we've had burgers. And a week or so I've been eating soups I eat the walnuts and almonds every day too... Need to mix it up a bit, maybe I'll have some tofurkey sausages today instead

[Back-Space]

And I was reading the nutritional facts on those sausages. 30 grams of protein in one sausage Lots of fat too, but that's pretty well half my protein right there

[RubyDuby]

have you tried them yet? so worth the fat...

[Back-Space]

have you tried them yet? so worth the fat...

Going to try them today Hopefully they're not too "boring" for my friend. I loved the burgers.... Almost feel guilty eating something that tastes so closely to meat

[Back-Space]

Just tried the sausages Not too bad, although I think I prefer the burgers. They're about the same price at the grocery store, so I can't tell which ones the better deal

[Night_Owl]

I had oatmeal with nuts and fruit. Salad with mushrooms and olives. Muffin. Popcorn. Veggie burger chibata bread tomato and lettuce.

Sounds good. Hey, is pop-corn vegan? I always thought the store bought bags had butter in them, but isn't it some kind of oil? Can't remember what it was, but they were making popcorn on Mythbusters and they were using oil...

[Risker]

^ Usually you get butter flavouring, butter itself would go off I think. A lot of it is air-popped. It's easy enough to buy some kernels and pop them yourself.

[RubyDuby]

I have yet to find vegan microwave popcorn. There's always some sort of milk product in them. I just put kernals in a paper bag, flatten it, fold it, and microwave for 2-3 minutres.

[Back-Space]

I'll have to take a look when I'm at the grocery store. If I got microwave popcorn without the butter, that would likely be vegan right? I can just add salt or something to it to give it a bit of flavour. Or maybe some of the popcorn seasonings are vegan aswell.

[RubyDuby]

I guess, but if you're just buying plain popcorn you'll save yourself quite a bit of money but just buying the kernels and some paper bags. Just found this article.

yesterday:

coffee and chocolate
cheeseless veg pizza
whole block of broiled tofu
whole bag of spinach, sauteed with garlic

got better near the end of the day... this morning is not looking much better...

Lol, I've only ever eaten the microwavable bags of popcorn (when I was omni ofcourse). That looks pretty easy though I've got a microwave and after over a month of living here I still haven't used it

I just had some raw almonds, and a burger bun toasted.

[Wildflower]

I cook popcorn on top the stove in a pot. LOL, it's easy, put a few tablespoons of oil in a big pot, add about 3 popcorn kernels, then put the lid on and turn the burner to medium high. Wait til those 3 pop, than add in about a 1/2 cup of kernels (for a giant bowl of popcorn). Recover the lid. When it starts popping, crack the lid to let the moisture out and pick the pot up every few seconds and shake it back and forth. Take off heat when you don't hear any more popping, put it in a bowl and add some Earth Balance to the hot pot to melt. Pour over popcorn and add salt, stir with a spoon. Enjoy!

If my directions are too vague, here is one that is explained better:

[veganwitch]

1/2 slice of bread with vegenaise
sandwich (tofurkey, tofutti mozzarella, spinach, tomato, mustard, vegenaise) on toasted bread
some green and black olives
veggie chips (crisps)
2 clementines
1/2 a quesadilla (ww tortilla, black refriend beans, scallions, "cheese") topped w/ black bean and corn salsa, "sour cream", guacamole
mini cookies and cream cheesecake
salad (romaine, cucumber, tomato, shredded carrots, beets, garbanzo beans, pumpkin seeds, black olives, onion & poppy seed sticks) with orange poppyseed dressing

[Lars]

that quesadilla sounds amaaazing, I'm craving mexican foood right now

I've had:

two slices of toast with nuttelex spread
two soy flat whites w/ 2 sugars each
three pieces of twist licorice
a vegetable samosa
a small bowl of cherry tomatos w/ balsamic dressing
a bowl of steamed brocolli, carrot and sweet potato
a cup of rooibos tea

I pretty much ate 80% of an oreo vegan cheese cake at xmas, time to work it off!

[Wildflower]

I think i take back my previous comment regarding the awesomeness of Teese Cheese.

I made mac and cheese tonight with the Cheddar style and it wasn't that great. The best part was that Teese melted into a perfect Velveeta like smooth consistency (i combined 1 tube with 1 cup soymilk). It was amazing and the texture was perfect. The taste though...it tastes sweet and like nothingness, totally bland. I tried adding mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, nutmeg, white pepper and quite a lot of hotsauce and paprika, but it still didn't have much taste. I melted Daiya on top, which was sprinkled with more hotsauce/paprika/garlic powder, breadcrumbs and earth balance and that actually tasted a lot better. It melted pretty well too, but not like the Teese, i am not sure I could have made a sauce with it. It was stringy/chewy.

The other Teese I raved about was Nacho Flavored. I should have made mac and cheese with that for sure...

So today:

Breakfast: ww toast with EB and fig jam. coffee with vanilla almond milk.

Lunch: leftover lentil loaf, roast carrots, mashed potatoes and a clementine.

Dinner: homemade Mac and Teese

I'm still hungry as I didn't eat much of the mac and teese, so probably some cookies/tea or a salad as a snackie.

[Festered]

Ive gone back on my diet after xmas.
All I have eaten at work is portions of low cal soup
Then I got home n had some homemade potato wedges and some broccoli soup which was amazing, chickpeas (roasted), a side salad, and a glass of lovely wine

[vegetarian]

I try to consume FIVE (5) FRUITS and FIVE (5) VEGETABLES every day in my vegan diet.

Yesterday I had a fruit smoothie with
a full grapefruit, some orange juice, some soymilk AND some soy powder, some cinnamon, banana, and blackberries (4 fruits)
Later I had a single pear sliced and placed over peanut butter on some whole grain vegan-friendly bread. (1 fruit)
TOTAL = 5 fruits

I had several cups of coffee with soymilk.

I also ate some organic mesclun salad, a microwaved red potato sliced with some mustard (a vegetable but not a serving), some baby carrots, a whole gherkin-style cucumber, and some other vegetable I don't readily recall. (5 vegetables)

Grain servings: 2 slices total of whole grain breads, some oatmeal with cinnamon and soymilk
Legume servings: a bowl of cold black bean soup, but thick

Today I began again with a fruit smoothie with a full grapefruit, some orange juice, some soymilk AND some soy powder, some cinnamon, banana, and blackberries (4 fruits) [Same old same old]
And now I'm sipping on some cold coffee with soymilk.

Comfort is akin to familiarity, with which comes convenience and budget planning.

I also take some vitamins AND a pressed tablet containing 4 vegetables (broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and carrots)

I try to avoid needless snacks; I'm too busy for the distraction that snacking is about.

[twinkle]

I had soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The breakfast one was leftover lentil, potato and carrot from last night, with toast spread with a mixture of vitalite and cold smoked virgin rapeseed oil (for the omegas and also because it is DELICIOUS!), lunch was random soup with veg from the freezer and this evening's was the best - spinach and garlic thickened up with cornflour, soya milk and seasoned with cayenne. Yum! I have a feeling January is going to be very soupy indeed, I'd forgotten how nice it can be!

Oh yeah, and I had a clementine and some coffee. Also water.
