Day 4 - Talking veggie food for the meat-eaters
Friday 29th March
Lovely little day off work today, don't know if that's going to help or not with the 90 day challenge. Done some house cleaning so that's certainly some exercise!
I'm off out for a meal this evening which I'm unsure how to balance the diet and eat well, I'll get back to you later on that.
Whilst I'm not veggie or vegan, a lot of my diet is largely meat-free. I have previously found eating meat and complex protein good to keep you fuller for longer, however I have taken the step this time to focus on fiberous veg and Quorn proteins as my main food groups, keeping farmed meats to a small amount c500g a week.
On the meat substitutes
Quorn mince is considerably nicer than beef mince, try it on your spagbol and you'll love it! It's flavour and texture is amazing!
Sausage-wise are not as good, but a good substitute are Linda McCartney Sausages the textures don't match pork but they are nice.
Quorn sausages tend to be very dense and not comparable, but still passable.
Chicken - Quorn is good, vegan Quorn is NOT!
Beefburgers - Seiten burgers area anew substitution containing beatroot to give a pink centre and is hard to distinguish between meat-free and meat! Definitely worth the shot!
Today's Exercise:
Light House Cleaning - 30mins
Today's Food:
12:00 - Coffee w/ 20ml skimmed milk
12:30 - 3eggs, mushrooms, jalepenos, 2 Heck Beet veggie sausage & Olive Oil
13:00 - Pint of water
17:00 - Diet coke
17:30 - (Greens, Didsbury)
Veggie black pudding and mustard mayo.
Baked Aubergine Peppers, Tomato's, Chickpeas
19:00 - Pint of water
21:00 - Pint of water
This was hard as others were drinking but I resisted!
A little snap of the food from Simon Rimmer's restaurant Greens. Which was fit and I recommend it! The vegan cheese was pretty nice!
Weight this morning: 172.1lbs
Calories consumed: 1,231
Additional Calories burnt: 71
For now, Mx
