Everyone still with me after that Cow post? Good. I would miss you if you ran away.
Just so you know, I DO know that cheese tastes really really good and to be totally on the up and up I will tell you that I miss it very much. I am not saying yet what will happen when these 100 vegan days are over because I don’t yet know, but it is a bit difficult to imagine my life without any cheese of any kind, despite what I know about it’s origins and health problems.
I have received several emails with questions about protein, calcium and calories. So I’m going to try to track a few days of exactly what I eat and how it stacks up.
I started the day with a 5K jog which took me 60 minutes. I’m slow.
Then I had Coconut-Pecan-Banana-Whipped Oats:
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup oat milk
dashes of cinnamom, cardamom and sea salt
1 banana
5 toasted pecans
1 T unsweetened coconut flakes
For lunch I had this:
1 gluten-free pita
1/2 cup hummus with za’atar (LOVE that combo!)
Huge pile of water-sauteed Swiss Chard, cherry tomtoes and garlic
If I’m going to eat dessert during the day, I eat it after lunch when there’s still a good chance to work it off!
One home-made chocolate brownie ball, one peanut-oat ball & one piece of chocolate-covered orange peel
and…
This is my current most favorite tea with some oat milk. It’s called Pukka Pleasure and has cocoa, licorice, chicory, cinnamon and cardamom. Yum!
Dinner:
Leftover Veg Soup with Chickpeas and a Soy Chicken Breast thing plus 1 spelt cracker with 1 Tbsp tahina.
Day’s Totals:
1536 calories
51 g protein
40 g fiber
532 mg calcium
That puts me right where I want to be on all four counts.
I was in the kitchen today all of 30 minutes tops.
Easy-peasy!
LOL, sounds like someone has a cougar crush!
That was super nice of your son to go see New Moon with you. He should get lots of brownie points for that!
I like when you post calorie counts too.
I'm old enough to be a cougar? That's depressing.
I know you like calorie counts. I hate them though. I almost never count calories anymore. I just eat well and go by my hunger.
