[gberardi]

Here's some typical food I eat these days:

Breakfast:
- if I have made almond milk recently, I'll eat Optimum Power Cereal (or some other cereal like Cheerios in a and a glass of orange juice
- otherwise, I just eat two pieces of toast with almond or cashew butter and the glass of OJ
- or oatmeal and OJ
- recently, I have juiced my breakfast: an apple, a handful of baby carrots, and some greens, like celery, romaine lettuce, and/or kale.

Lunch:
- I generally have a peanut-butter (natural) and raisin sandwich, and mostly fruits: apples (Granny Smith is my favorite), grapes, plums, apricots, and peaches. I will usually have baby carrots, and half the time I have celery and/or broccoli.
- Sometimes I have peanut-butter and pickle. I can't believe how good it is. Walnut butter and pickle is amazing, but walnut butter is expensive!


Dinner:
- Rice and beans, in various forms. I try to use brown rice, and I use different kinds of beans.
- Soup
- Chili
- Salad (rarely)
- Pasta (spaghetti and some type of tomato sauce from a jar, usually)

Snacks:
- I try not to eat too many processed foods, but I will usually have some vegan cookies or pita chips or tortilla chips (blue corn, yellow corn, etc), usually in some hummus or bean dip.

Drink:
- I usually drink water will all of my meals.
- Occasionally I will drink apple juice or orange juice

And yes, I would prefer to get the original source than something that was "processed" through an animal first. B-)

DHA and Vitamin D are things I haven't been concerned about. I figure that I get outside once in awhile, but maybe I don't get enough sun. DHA...I am going to do some research now to figure out what I can do about that.
