Day Seven

9 am morning : Pure protein bar = 180 cals
9:30 am : Rice protein with banana  = 200 cals
              4  buttered Rudis = 350 cals

noon = 2 Rudis blts = 400 cals

3pm = Edamame bowl with ground sunflower seeds = 250 cals

6pm = Edamame bowl with ground sunflower seeds = 250 cals
                                                                plus 1 BLT = 220 cals
 
8 pm 1 banana = 30 cals




daily total :   1880 cals

Amazing day food wise. The big discovery for today was EDAMAME., and the Rudi's bread.

The Rudis bread is gluten free and my system tolerated it VERY well. No sleepiness, no sluggish feeling, etc.

And the EDAMAME... the protein content is through the roof.  Those two servings today combined were about 50 grams of protein.  Amazing.  it IS possible to get high quality , whole food  , complete protein on a vegan diet. The one food is a good example. Not all nuts and beans have a protein content that high.  1/2 cup of edamame has 13 grams of protein.   That's more protein than a chicken breast.

I don't want to eat it every day, but I"ve kicked tofu to the curb for the most part .   Edamame has a protein content that is 80% higher than tofu. so YEAH.

This was so crucial for today because yesterday was the first day on the DelMonte regime and I had to make sure that I'm putting in the nutritional support to back it up.
