Vegetarian: Days 4-7

(continued from Days 1-3)

Day 4

Breakfast: Slept in :)
Lunch: Mozzarella sticks, half a black-bean chipotle burger
Dinner: Spicy lentils, rice (thanks Rowan & Erica!)

That burger (from Chili’s) was actually quite tasty. It’s nice being able to split meals with Kristina.

I watched Erica and Rowan eat a gorgeous flank steak for dinner… it wasn’t too hard.

Day 5

Breakfast: Cereal with soy milk
Lunch: Munched on stuff, but I can’t really remember what
Dinner: 3-pepper 3-cheese enchilada, black beans, rice

Dinner was quite tasty – Mad Mex is moving up on my list of good places to eat.

Day 6

Breakfast: Bagel and cream cheese
Lunch: A “TBM” (Tomato-Basil-Mozzarella) from Cosi, fruit salad, chips
Dinner: Half an iceberg wedge (salad) and gnocchi with marinara. Ate an orange later.

That TBM was downright awful. I don’t think anything was wrong with the food, but the tomato was lifeless, and the mozzarella was a little gritty. But there were no other options.

Day 7

Breakfast: Running late, skipped
Lunch: Creamy potato salad, mac and cheese, cookie
Dinner: Saganaki and a tasty feta pasta with olives and tomatoes. Ate some peanuts and a granola bar later.

For lunch, there were no other options than to eat side dishes, so I did. They were tasty, but high in dairy content :-(

Nathan,

I think what you are doing is wonderful! When Steven informed me about some 20 years ago that he is not eating meat, I nearly lost it! But we have managed to overcome the loss of red meat but having chicken or turkey whenever I decide to make it.

You might consider packing your lunch: a almond butter and jelly sandwich; fruit and chips- or crackers, cheese, vegtables with fruit or you can go mediterranean food or chinese food; also those instant oatmeal packets are good for breakfast or lunch.

Another thing: make sure to get a good one a day vitamin and eat blueberries (they are great for keeping you healthy) and don’t forget to drink water! Take Care.
