Did I Get My Protein Today?

by Sally Andersen

bananasThe banana that I ate today didn’t come with a nutritional label … and that’s a good thing! It means that I am eating non-processed food. However, it makes it a little difficult to track my nutritional intake and make sure that I am getting everything that I need. So I turn to nutritional analysis tools such as www.nutritionaldata.com.

Today was not the best eating day for me, but I’m here to be honest, so let’s see how a vegan does with nutrients - specifically protein for now (remember, I need about 60g a day) - on a down day:

Breakfast: CLIF ZBaR (for kids) Peanut Butter - 3g

Morning snack: Carrot sticks with salad dressing - 2g

Coffee: (it’s friday, cut me some slack) - 0g

Lunch: Hummus - 8g; green pepper - 1g; pita chips - 4g

Snack: Jelly-filled donut - 2g

Snack: Banana - 2g

Dinner: Haven’t had it yet, but unless it tops out with 38g …

Maybe tomorrow will be better; I’ll check in with you then.
