What I ate Wednesday!

February 25th, 2015

 

 

Before I show you guys the delicious food I ate today. I wanted to take a second to talk about my goals and nutrition right now. I would like to start of by saying I am not a fan of long term calorie counting but I do think it is a good idea to educate yourself about the food your eating. Since I became vegan and started focusing on eating more raw food (which is a much lower calorie content per serving), I have struggled with eating enough and understanding appropriate portions for raw meals. I have began calorie counting a bit, in the morning I sit down and go on cronometer.com and type in what I plan to eat that day. My goal right now is to eat 500 calories 4 times a day. I don't calorie count through-out the day, and I don't eat 100% what I plan, I simply like knowing I am fueling my body appropriately! Now to see what I ate!:

 

Meal 1:

Breakfast Smoothie:

This smoothie is my obsession right now!!

 

•  1/2 cup of oats
•  1 scoop of vanilla rice protein
•  1 banana
•  4dates
•  1tbsp of chia seeds
•  Water to blend

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meal 2:

Pure pulp tangerine pineapple juice.  4 tangerines and 2 cups of frozen pineapple blended unstrained, it was about 32oz. This was basically like drinking creamy sugar!!
