Stolen from The Cuckoo's Nest, except changed around a bit for the Vegetarian/Vegan forum. Post what you've eaten today, as I'm curious to find out what other vegetarians (or vegans) eat.

For Breakfast: Toasted brown bread & cheese.

Lunch: Roasted vegetable ravioli.

Dinner: Quorn chicken style fajitas.

Second Dinner :P: Shredded garlic tofu with rice.

And a Twirl bar as a snack

Typical day for me is:
Breakfast: Platter of fruit (usually mango, passion fruit, berries etc. it's different every day)

Lunch: Crackers or rye crispbread with hummus and raw vegetables like carrots or cucumber

Dinner: Roasted vegetables and something like tofu or bean burger.

Snacks would be nuts, vegan chocolate or corn chips.

I also drink loads of water and love my cup of tea with soya milk!

Today:

Breakfast: Bowl of Bran flakes with sliced banana

Lunch: Home made hummus on brown pitta bread. Yoghurt for dessert!

Dinner: I'm making either carrot and coriander soup (if the coriander in the shop is nice) or if not stir fried veg (broccoli, garlic, red onion, courgette) with cous cous and cashews.

God, I'm hungry now... 1 whole hour til I can eat my lunch!

I've only had breakfast today, cos I got up late.

Breakfast: Huge bowl of Fruit and Fibre with extra raisins and banana.
Snack: Juice

I don't know what I'm having for dinner and I'll have at least one frozen yogurt and some more fruit later.

Yesterday -
Breakfast: Fruit and Fibre with extra fruit
Dinner: Spaghetti bolganese made from tofu. Spaghetti was wholemeal.
Snacks: An apple with peanut butter, an orange and about four frozen yogurts.

I get up late during summer, so I usually miss lunch.

I had a very untypical day foodwise, I came home this morning fresh off a flight from NYC totally starving cause Aer Lingus screwed up my meal order and didn't have a vegan meal for me, so I had vegan cheese on toast with tomatoes & a packet of crisps for breakfast by Irish time or late night snack by NYC time.
Then I went to sleep, but woke up at lunch time so my breakfast/lunch/brunch was a Clif Bar (I LOVE Clif Bars!).
Then later I had cheesy beans on toast.
Munched on Nutter Butters throughout the day.
For dinner I had carrots and brocolli in a spicy peanut sauce with rice.
And I'll polish off the rest of the Nutter Butters with a cup of tea in a few minutes!

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2009 8:24pm

I've only had a burger since, it was a double 'chicken' burger with cheese and onions though, yum. Gonna make a stirfry soon.

cheese on toast is the best!
my fav thing to make (also only thing i can make, works well for me

)

Breakfast is either Porridge [quick oats in the little microwaveable container] and half a can of baked beans [not together, never tired it but sure it wouldn't taste great] OR toast with half a can of baked beans.

After it's very up in the air what I'll have day to day but today I had a yummy salad of carrots, lettuce, apple, tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumber, and a handful of dry roasted peanuts.

Sometimes have toasted pita beard and humas or local place does an amazing red onion patatoe salad thing, get some sundried tomatoes and focaccia bread FTW.

Main event was quesadilla, hmmmmm love my mexican food. Just plain quesadilla with cheese and a bit more salad and the other half of the can of beans followed by an orange pudding. Normally have guacamole with quesadilla but the avocados in the shop didn't look great.

Some days I'll do Mac and Cheese, cook loads and make it last a couple of days, I don't like reheating food [I'm odd like that] so will mix cold mac and cheese into a salad to make a nice pasta salad. Other days it's rice and beans with different sauces chucked in depending what I feel like. Also make very wonky looking falafels but loads of dressings and shoved into a pita bread doesn't matter what they look like. Being doing alot of stewed rhubarb this week as I keep getting piles of the stuff off people - just having it plain with very little sugar added in the cooking as I don't like it sweet.

Man writing all thats made me hungry.

I more than likely had 2 pints of water as well. 90% of the time I have a pint about half way between my main meals.
I also take Probiotics and an occasional B12.

I do notice a lack of greens in most people's diet and I understand that because I am not a green fan myself and went years without it.
As a result of all of my reading I have come to realise that green leaves are a very important part of the human diet and we can not reach optimum health without them.
I would love if it were not so because I would live very happily without them but I can not change the facts. I have some greens every day. I either juice them or add them to a smoothie because you can get away with using less if you break them down first to make them more digestible.
To juice greens you need a twin gear juicer (I have a green star gold). I usually juice one cucumber, some greens (may include wheatgrass), 3 or 4 sticks of celery and an apple.
I have to admit that I would prefer to have a honeydew melon or a few mangoes and they would be a lot less trouble but that drink is loaded with nutrients.
A green smoothie is the other alternative. Put your favourite fruits in a blender with water and then add some greens (I add lots of other things but you do not need to). Because the blender breaks them down you can absorb a lot more from them so you need less than if you were eating a salad.

Hungover breakfast of a (disgusting) pizza baguette and a pan au chocolat, washed down with 5 cups of coffee... I feel like death now!:o

Breakfast is usually either wholegrain toast and marmite, or sugar free meusli with a handful of cashews and dried berries thrown in
