Did I Get My Protein Yet?
A few days ago I fessed up to my lack of protein intake for the day. Remember? I spent three days or so telling you that vegans get enough protein, then I told you how to evaluate your own consumption, and in doing so determined that on, what I considered an unhealthy eating day, my protein was greatly lacking. At least you also learned that I am honest, right? So let’s check out another day for me and see if I made the cut (60g):
Breakfast: Lara Bar - 4g
Snack: Orange with honey - 3g
Lunch: Homemade hummus (work buddy and I am on a hummus kick, I’ll share a good recipe with you later) with whole wheat Ritz crackers, baby carrots, peppers - 15g
Snack: A few mini dark chocolate bars - 4g
Dinner: Stir-fry: Portabella mushroom, onion, kale, roasted red pepper with couscous - 15g
Snack: Soy milk made into hot chocolate - 10g
…well, getting closer.
