A very busy work day, five visits in five locations with about four hours of driving. And I fit in attending a "store" put on by some fifth graders, where I bought a couple of snacks after confirming what was vegan. Eating was in the car, except for dinner. I found couple more interesting snack items at a quick mid-day stop.
Breakfast: The last of my hot cereal, and four large strawberries. 334 calories.
Lunch: Leftover quinoa salad (quinoa, rice, black beans, pine nuts, snap peas, grape tomatoes, herbs), about two cups; a full cup of steamed kale with balsamic glaze, and a large banana. 348 calories.
Snacks: Air popped popcorn and three little vegan cookies (oatmeal cinnamon peanut butter), at the kids' store; celery sticks; two squares of dark vegan chocolate. And two new items.
1 - Rosemary baked lentil chips. Not bad, would eat again.
2 - Beanitos chipotle BBQ black bean chips. Tasty and spicy.
These last two indulgences were a little more calorie heavy than I thought. Not something to do every day. Total snack calories 581.
Dinner: I wasn't hungry for dinner but had a cup of tea and a few pieces of steamed broccoli and snap peas. Chris had a vegan dinner with me. 23 calories.
Total for the day 1285. 9% protein, and the proportion of fat was too high (25%) -- the result of spending my calories on snack foods rather than more nutrient dense fare. If I had spent those fat calories on more beans and greens, my protein would have been up in the 12-14% range.
I need to get more beans into my diet.
