1/2 T. Canola oil

Afternoon snack: Banana
Dinner: 1 can healthy choice garden vegetables soup--this is where the (sort of) comes in. I am not going to worry about a little animal product flavoring in prepared foods.
Diet Sprite with the juice of one lemon on ice.

2 T. crunchy peanut butter on one slice of Italian bread.
Coffee.
Wasn't in the mood for the lemony drink. Maybe tomorrow.
I feel like my body has shrunk! I think this may work for me. It is probably not for everybody though.
I'll say. Look at thecaloric values. Are you getting at least 1,200? That's the minimum for adequate nutrition, even if you're trying to lose weight. How about the RDA of protein?
Just curious. I really don't know what's in that pound of vegetables.
I agree with the previous poster--the foods don't quite seem to add up to enough calories for the day.
IMHO, you may have more success sticking to a vegan diet in the long run if you add a little protein to each meal and snack. Beans, lentils, nuts, nut butters, soy milk, and tofu are all great vegan sources of protein.
For example, you could add a handful of chopped nuts and/or soy milk to your oatmeal, some cubed and pan-fried or baked tofu to your vegetables, and 1/2 cup of canned beans (rinsed) to your soup. The added protein and fiber will help you feel more satisfied and for a longer period of time than just vegetables or just veggie soup.
I had more than enough food. Felt very satisfied all day. I am still working on protein but plan to stick to this for a couple of months. I will probably add some low fat meats in after that. I have already discovered that vegetarian is better for me instead of vegan. That one slice of bread was not even legal. The reason I said it is probably not for everybody is that I am working on a stomach problem. Don't worry, I won't starve myself.
Woke up at 7 A. M. and had planned to have a banana sandwich until I read the ingredients. Had a banana and water. Went back to bed because my feet were cold and slept until 11 something. I did not plan to do that but I feel so refreshed.
Sliced a huge naval orange and had planned to have oatmeal too but almost could not get the orange down. Coffee to drink.

I'm confused. Adding low-fat meats back into your diet will mean you are neither vegan nor vegetarian.
And how is bread not legal? Or were you joking about the amount of calories in it? I tend to get low-cal, whole grain bread, with two slices coming to 70 calories. My SO eats bread that is 100 calories per slice. When I read the label, I was all .
Do you have a lot of stomach acid? I get that sometimes. Citrus is the very last thing I eat. It actually causes me pain unless I have a lot of food with it.
FWIW, a lot of people get cold feet (and hands) when they're not eating enough. You say you're not starving yourself, but it just seems that it's not enough food, and definitely not nutritionally balanced. Not criticizing, just concerned.
Thanks for the concern but you really don't need to be. I will take care of myself. My hands are plenty warm but my feet got cold because it is 70 degrees in the house and there was a draft at my bare feet.
Pound package of medley of vegetables baked in oven using 2 T. canola oil. Will eat all I want of these. They come to a little over five cups raw. I am also making turnip greens and hushpuppies and fillet of flounder for hubby.

What do they make that bread out of that you eat? If it is milk and eggs your bread is not vegan either even if it is whole wheat. I don't know exactly what is going on with my stomach but I looked up the symptoms and it was suggested that I try a more vegetarian or vegan diet. I feel better already so I must be doing something right. The bread is 100 calories a slice but I don't recall mentioning that. It was illegal because of eggs and milk.
