Lunch: 1:00 2 pieces of pizza, half a soft pretzel and a small salad. diet coke 600 cal
Dinner: 7:00 spaghetti with marinara, small salad with almonds and raspberry vinigarette. water 400 cal.

It would have been better to put that marinara sauce on a chicken breast rather than on spaghetti :-).

Shauhnathan - 22 Aug 2007 23:34 GMT Whoops, I should have mentioned before that I am vegetarian. I'm sure I don't get as much protein as I should, based on this fact, but I still east seafood, so I do get some.

They are killed before you eat them.

They are killed before you eat them. shau: there's a product called nutritional yeast flakes and power. It is very high in complete B vits that help combine aminos from diff sources. It is great on almost any pasta, soup, pizza, toast, buttered rice, potato chips etc Vegs get complete protein outfoxing neg effects of our love of junk food. Spare me the blurbs i'm not addressing vegans here. Putting brown rice on your vanilla ice cream makes more complete protein chains, resulting in less mucous, often the result of unmatched protein and carbohydrate. When it says whole grain check to see / percentage, sometimes its caramel colored white bread, with a 2% sprinkle of wheat germ. Pepperage Farm' Whole Grain gets a good rating fr Nutrition Action's review of REAL WHOLE GRAIN breads. There are only a few. We eat ice cream with corn chips and you can taste the protein combining your mouth. Tofu, like meat, is tasteless until you flavor it, or enrich the subtlty of its own flavor with butter, sesame oil, and spices. The alternative milk is a combination of soy and- rice or oat or barley milks, hmmm with barley malt and sugar. Blends well w/ icecream and fruit. Hope im getting you hungry let's lose another veg to poor commercial offers for people who want to eat for a healthier self and planet.

It seems to me that many people who are vegetarians eat a lot of crap (by which I mean empty carbs -- bread, sweets, chips, fries, etc.) instead of making the effort needed to find healthy protein sources (which is certainly more challenging for a vegetarian). If you're a vegetarian, I'd expect to see more veggies in your diet :-). You need to add more legumes, soy products, low-fat dairy, and such. And nuts are good, but you need more than just a salad garnish to make a difference.

Lots of people will say, "Well, you HAVE to eat healthy since you're vegetarian." and I'm like, "Don't kid yourself. Lots of vegetarians eat a lot of junk. Lots of junk food and carbs." I was definitely in this category for a long time. I do need to eat more of the healthy things you mentioned. What are legumes? Out of the things you mentioned, I eat more low-fat dairy than anything.

Out of the things > you mentioned, I eat more low-fat dairy than anything. Legumes are things like beans, peas, & lentils. They are much better protein sources than most other types of veggies.
