My next snack was an organic Full Circle cookie.

And I just had a veggie burger with soy based fake cheese and organic bean dip on the side.

I'll probably have a fiber one yogurt later.

Awesome thread. I like getting ideas from other people.

I experimented with a new smoothie today and it was great. I'm trying to lower my sugar intake, even though it is mostly unrefined. Today's result:

4 oz vanilla muscle milk light
3 oz 0% plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup blueberries
70g mango chunks

Only 14g of sugar! Muscle milk is a horrible name, but it might become one of my favorite smoothies.

As for the rest of the day:

wheat bread slice
egg whites
string cheese
white rice
string beans
tilapia with citrus marinade

today was

breakfast granola bar and a banana

lunch tilapia with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots

dinner Homemade Lasagna (omg amazing and only 441 calories)

and I still have 400 calories left for the day. Not sure what to do with them.

I'm glad there's a thread to post daily food, as I need accountability!

Morning: homemade tehina (sesame seed butter made into a dip - Middle Easter) with cucumber, carrots, celery, and cherry tomatoes; 2 slices sprouted grain bread with apple butter
Mid-Morning: Protein shake made with soy milk, silken tofu, and rice protein powder
Afternoon: Sauted tofu with cauliflower and mushrooms and olives
Evening: Big salad with vinegarette and avocado; bran cereal (dry) and 1 oz vegan dark chocolate

I'm still experimenting with what works best for me in terms of protein/carbs/fat. I'm trying to up my protein and fat and lower my carbs as I've been basing my diet lately on carbs and it hasn't done me much good. I felt a lot more energetic today than I have in the past days so maybe I'm doing something right :).
