sngglebnny's Journal, 13 September 2016

Used a food diary for the first time in a while (maybe a year?). Started noticing that my favorite vegan vloggers had changed their tune on what to eat and what quantities. So, I can't just eat clean, plant-based foods and hope for the best.

I'm very shocked by how little calories I ate. I'm not shocked by the fat content. What I ate yesterday is pretty close to what I eat usually except there weren't any treats like candy, or chips, or popcorn at 3pm from work.

It says that I came in under my recommended RDI but I'm sure that it's right on target if I could record the sauces that I put in my food last night.

I was just going to "stirfry" the bag of coleslaw mix and a piece of baked tofu with the little bit of peanut sauce I had left and water. But, I got another passenger while on my way home and it was an hour later before I got home. I was at the "I don't care what it is, throw it in if it's edible" stage of hunger. I ended up adding half an onion then shredded hash brown mix. It all looked so ugly when I was done, that I just squirted ketchup on it and ate it.

It was an ugly but healthy meal, but all in all the day was too high in fat. Fat is very satisfying which is why I love adding avocados to salads or eating nuts. Fat is very comforting to a hungry belly. But, fat makes me fat.

Let's see how I do with considerably less fat today. I'm allowing for more potatoes today just in case I'm hungry. I'm probably going to eat them hot for lunch and cold at dinner.

I have another approach - dietary fat does not make us fat. It is about eating under the appropriate calorie index for your daily expenditure. Fat is satiating and many of them healthy - l eat a whole avocado daily and lose weight. I seem to recall you are a healthcare provider so I am sure you know what best works for you.

I'm not in the healthcare industry any more. I worked in administration for them anyways, but I've moved to another industry. I have another friend who can eat several avocados daily with no problems as well.
