Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well
I'm going to start posting my protein counts on here for a bit of accountability, if that's okay, since one of my goals in the coming week is to prioritize protein and get 100g each day.
Today:
Breakfast- Coffee with caramel almond milk creamer and a breakfast sandwich with vegan mayo, hot sausage, just egg patty, vegan cheese, lettuce, and tomato
Lunch: Leftover eggplant tofu with rice and broccoli
Snack 1: A small serving of grapes
Dinner: Hummus-based pasta salad with vegan kielbasa
Snack 2: Two peanut butter maple cookies
Protein: 103 grams
Exercise: I might do some yoga later if I get sleepy after lunch1 -

And do you find low protein makes you feel more blue/lethargic LG - and impacts your desire to exercise?
Sorry for the late reply--I had missed this during my last peek into the thread. I think low protein definitely makes me feel more moody and tired. I think the lack of exercise is a bit of a side symptom though, since if I'm not focused on hitting my protein goal, I'm definitely not focused on any other health habits.

I had a nice, relaxed day today. I'm off work at one of my jobs for a few weeks, so having just the other one felt a bit luxurious lol Hit my protein goal again today but remembered my main struggle with this amount of protein-- I feel like I'm always eating. Not a bad thing, by any means, but it gave me some interesting insight into why I might have let myself slip the past few months when time was at a premium.
Today:
Breakfast- Coffee with soy milk and seedy oatmeal with blueberries and peanut butter
Lunch- Vegan frittata
Snack 1- Apple slices
Dinner- Lentil and black bean soup with a vegan BLT (hummus this time instead of mayo)
Snack 2- Maple peanut butter cookies with coffee
Protein- 101 grams
Exercise- Took the dogs for a long walk2 -
Hey again LG ! And that sounds a good plan,
I’ve had a few days of feeling poorly - so it was nice to get back to some exercise today - brisk dogwalk this morning, Pilates this evening.
Food wise:
Breakfast - muesli with mixed fruits of the forest, extra walnuts and yoghurt
Lunch - pumpernickel bread with ham, humous, stuffed vine leaves, olives, raw sugar snaps peas and tomatoes. Melon.
Evening - Spanish rice with green peppers, chicken thigh and chorizo. Salad leaves. Strawberries.
Snacks: some roasted almonds
I am also upping the protein a little and noticing I am not getting as hungry for snacks. And I am also finding my sweet tooth Drive is calming (I even preferred dark chocolate the other day, wow).1 -
@gentlygently I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. Btw, your lunch sounds delicious!
Today was my first day dealing with a fair bit of hunger since bumping up my protein, so I was a bit snacky, but offset it by taking my dogs for a few more walks and eating some pretty high-volume, low-calorie meals. I still have some calories left, so if I'm too hungry later I might have some apple slices or strawberries.
Breakfast: Coffee with soy milk and two slices of chickpea frittata
Snack 1: Strawberries
Lunch: Vegan BLT with black bean and lentil soup
Snack 2: Popcorn
Dinner: Pasta salad with hummus, tofu, chickpeas, carrots, celery, and onion
Snack 3: Maple peanut butter cookies
Protein: 100 grams
Exercise: Some yoga, lots of walking, and a bit of dancing while cooking1 -
Hi everyone! I hope your week is going well ^_^
Today was a little less snacky and a bit more active, which was nice. I also did a Yoga with Adriene video (Center- Day 1) since my dogs weren't wanting to walk. All in all, it was a really nice day
Breakfast: Coffee with soy milk and a green smoothie
Snack 1: Strawberries
Lunch: Pasta salad with extra hummus
Snack 2: Popcorn
Dinner: BBQ seitan with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies
Snack 3: Maple peanut butter cookies
Protein: 103 grams
Exercise: 30 minutes of yoga1 -

Today was a lot of fun! I got really inspired for a painting series I've been messing with the last few weeks and might (fingers crossed!) be ready to work on it this weekend. It did mean that I didn't start eating until 11 though ^_^;

I cooked a Cuban black bean stew yesterday, taking masses of shortcuts and making lots of replacements. E.g. no black beans available here, no ham hock, no Mexican adobo. But no problem. I microwaved chicken breast and made shredded chicken afterwards, used berbere with vinegar, and other beans. And it's totally and utterly delicious. Just ate a second portion today and will still have something for tomorrow. #30-minute-stew1
