    Breakfast: Strawberry Carnation Instant Breakfast
    Lunch: 3 ham and cheese sliders and olives
    Snack: Honey dew melon
    Dinner: Roasted boneless, skinless chicken thighs and parmesan pasta roni
    Dessert: Chocolate pudding cup and a mini ginger ale

    Meals right now are just not that fun or exciting. Though I will say dinner is exactly what I needed. I was looking for basic comfort and it hit the spot.

    Funny story, today’s sandwich for lunch was NOT the plan. Our office manager cleaned my lunch and snacks out of the refrigerator! She does this periodically and I get that there were some things in there that needed to be tossed (not mine) but I had such a nice packed lunch and found it literally in the trash. After I got over my loss I had to laugh!

    Breakfast: kale salad with quinoa, dried cherries, pumpkin seeds, ricotta salata, dill, and mustard vinaigrette
    Snack: iced coffee, some blackberries
    Lunch: toasted panini with broccoli rabe, eggplant, mushrooms, tapenade and fresh mozzarella
    Snack: handful of cherry tomatoes, cheddar sun chips
    Evening: some cantaloupe, a mini ice cream cone

    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 lunch

    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 walk :)

    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).

    @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 cooking :smiley:

    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 yoga
