Unfortunately, today is not a normal day of eating for me. I worked both jobs today, and I forgot all my snacks and food at home, so today has me completely thrown off; so far I’ve had cereal and a Clif bar and will probably have another Clif bar halfway through the day.. oops. Typically, I eat healthy meals throughout the day, so I figured if it’s hard for some new vegan hippies out there to decide on what to eat on a daily basis, I’d share what I have.

Unlike some people, I track what I eat – I am very paranoid about my macro nutrients and calories, so I use the MyFitnessPal app. My macros are 1,889 calories, 213 g of carbohydrates, 142 g of protein and 52 g of fat (45% carbs, 30% protein and 25% fat). I generally eat around these numbers, but I’m never 100% on point with these… literally ever – I just use it as a baseline. 

Another thing to note, I workout in the morning most days and I absolutely have to eat before I work out or I get like dizzy – maybe I’m dramatic, whatever. I know a lot of people who are able to work out without eating, but I’m not one of the lucky ones. 

So, here is my daily diet

Pre-Workout Snack:

– 1 cup of Veganic Brown Rice Cacao Crisps with 1/2 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

Breakfast:

– 2 lightly salted Lundberg Rice Cakes with 1 tablespoon of Sunflower Seed Butter

– 1.5 scoops of Vega Sport Chocolate Protein Powder with 2 cups of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and 1/2 Tablespoons of Sunflower Seed Butter (blended in my Ninja)

Mid-Morning Snack:

– 1 oz the Good Bean cinnamon sugar roasted chick peas

Lunch:

– 1/2 cup of canned lentils

– 1 Gluten Free Tortilla – Food for Life is the brand I buy

– 1/2 cup of kale 

(make into a wrap)

  
Mid-Afternoon snack:

– 1 small gala apple

– 1 No Cow Bar

  
Dinner:

– 1/2 medium onion, chopped 

– 1/2 cup of carrots, chopped

– 1 tablespoon coconut oil

– 2 cups of baby spinach

– 1/4 cup grape tomatoes

– 1/2 cup of canned lentils (yes I eat a lot of lentils – I make this all into one big bowl of veggies and beans, fried in the oil)  

  
Snack:

– 1.5 scoops of Vega Sport Chocolate Protein Powder with 2 cups of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and 1/2 Tablespoons of Sunflower Seed Butter (again, blended in my Ninja)

That puts me around 1,860 calories, 250 g of carbs (yes I’m over my limit, idgaf), 139 g of protein and 54 g of fat.

So that’s a general day for me. Obviously it switches up, depending on how I meal prep, if I forgot my food at home, whether I want to change my meals or not, or if my boyfriend decides he wants to go to Chilis that night – fajitas for life :)

I ain’t no dietitian, but I love throwing meal plans together, so if you need any help, feel free to email me at [email protected]. Also follow me on Instagram @nmussu – where I post all of the food I make (and pictures of my animals).
