-1 can tomato soup. I use the Progresso hearty tomato one. I’m going to look for a better, less processed, alternative next time I go shopping. But basically it’s crushed tomatoes with the juice. 

-1 cup almond milk. This is definitely optional, but I like the flavor it adds to the soup

-About 2 handfuls of baby spinach. 

-1/2 cup black beans

-1/8 cup chickpeas (I just used what was left in the fridge)

-pepper, and chili powder

I just let the soup heat up on the stove, added the almond milk and beans, then turned the heat down and let the spinach wilt in the soup for a little bit. This was actually really filling for dinner, but could easily make 2 smaller portions for lunch or between meals. Mine ended up being 380 calories. :)

Breakfast: 2 pieces of rye bread with peanut butter and no sugar added strawberry preserves. 1 orange. 

Lunch: Broccoli, tofu, and cauliflower with vegan butter sub. 1 orange and some baby carrots. 

Dinner: Spaghetti squash with carrots, peas, corn, and a vegan spicy chicken patty. This was surprisingly good, although it was kind of hard to cook the squash. I did it in the microwave, but it stayed way too hot to touch for a really long time. Poking the holes was also kind of a bitch. 

Snacks: Graham crackers, 1 apple, 1 orange, and 1 banana. 

Breakfast: 1 orange, 2 graham crackers (in a hurry). Usually I have more protein. 

Lunch: Vegan quesadilla: spinach and herb wrap with black beans and salsa

Snacks: baby carrots, orange, apple, peanut butter, chia seeds with lemon juice

Dinner: tbd but probably Broccoli, brown rice, black beans, and tofu. 

67.    Today is “no tumblr day“. That’s right, you will try just one day to be off tumblr, post your progress/food log/training schedule tomorrow, because today, you are going „back to basics“!

While I get the point of this, I don’t think it happened. Too much time in between classes. 

Food Log: 

Breakfast: Banana (usually I have more, but I was in a rush)

Lunch: Tomato sandwich on wheat bread with an asian pear and some peanut butter

Dinner: Amy’s dairy free burrito with apple

Snacks: Some crackers, whole wheat, a slice of whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter

Exercise Log: 

Ran: 2.5 miles

Pop Pilates: Butt workout, and triceps 

Ab routine on the core ball with ab rolls with pushups in between, and mountain climbers. 

61.    Write your usual meal plan for one day.

My meals from day to day tend to really vary. At the moment, I try to put the bulk of my calories into the beginning of the day because if I don’t, I have to eat back to around 1,400 net at night which makes me feel kind of gross. Usually, I start with whatever breakfast I’m into that week, and then eat when I’m hungry throughout the day. I don’t really have any specific rules other than after dinner, I only eat fruit or veggies if I’m hungry. 

34. Do you take your meals from home to work? If so, what do you usually prepare?

When I go to work, I usually go down the block to this place that has organic fruit/salads on hand. They’re also one of the few places around where I work that have a lot of vegan options. They’re a little expensive, but I can tell what’s actually in the food they sell, which is a huge plus. I’ve brought my own food to work, though.
