I had soo much nice food today. The copious amounts of vegan baking consumed is down to the fact that I was (belatedly) celebrating my birthday with one of my best friends who happens to be a vegan chef! I’m now in possession of a triple chocolate cake with vegan marshmallows (straight from the US!) all to myself! ;D

Breakfast:
Pancakes (made with rice milk) with a chopped banana, some raisins and lashings of maple syrup
Orange juice

Lunch:
Sandwich with spicy couscous (brown bread)
Packet of crisps
Fry’s Chocolate Cream bar
1/3-1/2 litre energy drink

Dinner:
Sandwich with kale, one grated carrot, cashew nuts, raisins, sesame seeds and homemade salad dressing (tahini, oil, seasoning) (multi-seed bread)
Half a small tub Pringles

Dessert:
Strawberries, grapes and melon

Other:
Two pieces of toast with soya spread and jam (white bread)
Two mugs green tea

I had three types of bread today, how exciting! Er… I ate five small meals rather than three large ones, I think that’s good? Dunno. Hmm. More… data… required…

I’d like to keep a food journal on here to allow me to examine my current diet and identify any changes I feel I should make. My prime concern is being healthy and getting sufficient vitamins, minerals and whatnot. The last time I checked my BMI I was within the ‘normal’ weight range so I’m not really concerned about that. [I am aware of the criticism surrounding the nature of BMI measurement, but what I’m trying to get across is that things are pretty much tickety-boo in that area]

I already know I have some problem areas which despite not manifesting themselves in weight gain etc. can’t be doing me much good. I eat a lot of sweet foods, mainly in the form of sugary drinks, chocolate, biscuits and cake. Ye ken vegans can still have a sweet tooth! I also know I’m not eating enough green veg, and should probably be including more nuts and seeds into my diet. Hopefully, a food journal will allow me to have more of an overview on what I’m eating and provide me with the necessary kick up the arse to change my sugar/carbs/tottie -addicted ways!
