Welcome To Monday

Morning all. (Well it still is here

) Working through my first submit of the day. I made scrambled eggs with mushrooms, green onions, and spinach for breakfast, the first time I've had eggs in about 6 years. Plus had some Veggie Bacon Strips, which were excellent.

Not sure why I never tried those earlier.

Did a Nutritional Typing test last week, and realized I wasn't getting enough protein in my diet. I can only eat so much tofu, soy milk, soy protein powder, and cheese, so added eggs back in.

Cleo, any good suggestions on other veggy protein sources? No way I will add meat/chicken/fish back in, but maybe there are some good veggie ones I'm missing.

I see to do just fine eating beans, tofu, soy milk, vegetables, pizza, and pretty much everything except dead flesh.

Edit
Oddly I just ran across this website when looking for iPhone apps. Haven't really looked through the website yet other than to have downloaded the iPhone app.

Good evening everyone,

I hope your day was as good as mine, aren't long weekends great? Anyway I just looked over the stats of my sites and reached the 200hits a day mark yesterday. No sale yet but I'm happy

My problem is my sugar starting to go up, and weight having a hard time coming off, cause I'm eating too many carbs...even veggie carbs. I have found increasing my protein, decreasing my carbs, it is stopping the cravings, and my sugar is getting more normal. Not an atkins, but more like 50% protein per meal, instead of about 10% or so I was doing.

Are you Vegan, or a lactose / ovo-lactose vegetarian? I was strictly lactose, but started adding the ovo too.

A bit of a ovo-lactose vegetarian since just about everything served in restaurants and whatnot has dairy in it but almost a vegan.

Just saw this vid of a 71 year old vegan on Facebook.

Damn, I hope I look this good when I hit seventy.

When I was a veggie I kept eggs in my diet as well.

Raw nuts is a good source as well. We mix our favorites all together in plastic cereal container. Makes it easy to grab a handful or two a day.

Also, protein bars can help plus they feed a chocolate craving at the same time, if you find the right ones.

You have probably heard of this but if not, Moosewood Cookbook absolutely rocks for vegetarian recipes.

I'll have to look for Moosewood Cookbook, thanks. I do eat nuts too, almonds and pistachios are my favorites to add.
