Vegetarians/vegans!

[abs6angels 36]

Hey all you vegetarians and vegans! I'd love to hear what all of you eat during the day!!!

[goddesscordelia 30]

I try to always have home made hummus or bean dip to eat with "Marys gone crackers" healthy crackers or rice cakes, rice cheese, brown rice with veggies and broth...

I eat anything from Gardeins, Amy's "burgers", Beans lots of vegies and fruits. I have wonderful vegan and vegetarian cookbooks that help as well.

[brenty 27]

Beans, nuts, and Protein Shakes for Snacks -- if that's what you meant by 'during the day'.

[abs6angels 36]

MMm I love Gardein!!

[abs6angels 36]

^Brenty- or during the night if that's when you eat!!

Is Gardein the company that makes the fake stuffed chicken breast? I bought it once at Whole Foods and it was so good and I can't find it anymore!

Also, I like the fake chicken by Quorn. They have "grilled chicken", "chicken cutlets" aka breaded chicken, and I think one stuffed with Gruyere cheese.

I'm not 100% vegan/vegetarian, I just hate chicken!

[abs6angels 36]

I think they do-they make amazing chikn fingers. My husband like the Gruyere one- and he is not veg

you can find the Morningstar chikn patties which are FABULOUS at Bjs (bulk obviously, that's the best deal)

I eat lots of Beans and nuts. I probably eat too much cheese.I do love a Boca since its 21 grams of Protein but I avoid most of the soy stuff because its loaded with estrogen (cancer for us girls, man boobs for the boys)...I start every day with the Cosco Premier Protein shake fr 160cals and 30 grams of protein...

cheese is my weakness too! High in Protein, but also saturated fat.

I tried the vegan life for a year though, and I'm not giving up cheese again! Just have to enjoy it 'in moderation'.

I do. I am not SUPER strict about it though. I estimate as best I can, but I have other things to do with my time, too, so... http://www.loseit.com/ is a huge help in this area. They have an enormous food database.

Honestly, I can't stand warm cheese...which is good, because if I could take it everywhere with me I would eat it way more than I should!

[goddesscordelia 30]

I have mostly given up cheese- its tough though! My son becoming allergic sealed it cause we dont have it in the house now
