Default What do you eat everyday?

What do you usually eat on a regular basis? What is a sample daily meal plan for you?

I eat food. I do not eat non-foods like vitamins, minerals etc. I eat food at every meal.

meal 1: raw oat bran
banana
brown rice
beans
ground flaxseed
orange

portabella mushroom

meal 2: same exact thing.

meal 3: same exact thing

meal 4: same exact thing (except today I had to double up on meals 4 and 5, so I had double the portions for meal 4)

I also drink water as my only beverage.

I am assuming you didn't always eat this way. Has it truly made a difference in your energy level or physical well-being?

I'll have to post a link to my raw food diet photo diary when I post it. I've taken the photos, just haven't had a chance to upload them.

Breakfast - fruit smoothie with half a banana, a cup of berries, peaches or pineapple and a scoop of protein powder.
Midmorning - dates or a spoonful of raw honey
Lunch - guacamole with veggies
Snack - apple
Dinner - hummus with veggies or the occasional baked yam
Bedtime snack - a piece of fruit or some cherry tomatoes.

I have recently posted a few of the raw food diet benefits that I have noticed since cutting out cooked food

I LOVE TO EAT!! xo

I did not always eat this way; I have been eating this way, not the same exact thing everyday though, for about one year straight. The only exception was that for a period of about 3 weeks back in April I ate plain grilled chicken breast because I was trying to figure out what my new source of protein could be. I ate the chicken breast as a temporary source of protein until I found a new source of complete protein, which I found after about 3 weeks.

It definitely has made a difference in my energy level and physical well-being. I was extremely ill last year before I went on this diet and now I am much better than I was. This diet, along with some water-only fasting, has improved my life. I used to be so disabled that I could not do anything at all. Now I can atleast engage in intellectual studies and do some gardening/landscaping, etc. I still have some ways to go, but I am getting there.

Wholemeal bread, baked beans, oranges, mandarins, melons, varying vegetables, and I'm still weaning off lactose and I try not to eat meat(It takes a lot longer when you still live with your parents).

When I am paying attention, I follow a simple plan as I like "ease of use" so to speak.

I eat 4 to 6 times a day with a simple principle

Each meal includes 1 portion of Protein and 1 portion of Carbohydrates

If possible incorporate 1 portion is Vegetables to at least to meals.

Of course the protein and carbs are more of a quality type rather then say using sausage as my protein. An exaample would be using Egg whites rather then regular eggs for the protein. Same with meats if you eat them.

Portion size, well for most, this is the size of your clinched fist. Can't get much easier then that, the hard part is applying it.

The purpose behind this is for one, I am Diabetic, two, it is all about balance. We always here "in moderation" and this is true, but often not understood. Too much of anything is no good.

In terms of diet, following these rules of thumb, I am usually never full, and never hungry.

Hungry = Binge or over eating

Full = Sluggish

Two things I have almost daily are a bowl of various frozen veggies steamed, and at another meal a green smoothie with four eggs, a couple bananas, a cup of frozen berries, and some type of frozen leafy green.

Right now, mainly green smoothies, green soups and fruit. Later will add back salad or other items. Eventually juices will likely be a permanent part of my diet too. Having been raw for awhile, I eat super simple.
