living without meat: the finale

2 comments June 15th, 2008

on friday:

– for lunch, i had vegetable farfalle at kiki b’s. it was wonderful. something i’d order again. some vegetarians warned me it can be difficult to eat out. i believe it. either a lack of menu items (not the case here: could have had hummus or salmon) or the use of meat-based products in broth and so on.

– for supper, i had tuna salad again. i wanted to make those fish tacos but ran ou of time because i went to the gym.

dang. i think i’m not getting enough protein. i’m hungry when i wake up in the morning. i could have tried nuts.

on saturday:

well, on the seventh day, i ate meat. i had to eat out at a sandwich shop for lunch that didn’t have peanut butter and its only option was tuna salad, which was mayo-based and i hate mayo. i also can’t eat salad (long story), so i wasn’t going to eat day-old bread and potato chips….

in closing, i think i will definitely make the effort to make fish more and try meat-alternative products!
