wow... did you switch to being vegan at the beginning of the 5 months? details on how you did it please =P that is crazy!
congratulations and good luck on finishing up
I was technically vegan before I started but I was overeating and making poor food choices like greasy takeout, pasta, soda and soft drinks, alcohol, etc and those things make the calories really add up. To lose the weight I aim for between 1,000 and 1,300 calories a day. Some cheat days would occur naturally. I focus on eating more vegetables now, because they are so low in calories and filling.
Here are some recent examples from my food diary:
Today:
-bowl of maple oatmeal
-bowl of homemade soup (cabbage, chickpeas, and other veggies)
-1/2 cup muesli (oats with seeds and raisins) cooked and topped with 1 chopped apple
-cup of brown rice topped with steamed curry cabbage and a chopped up boca soy burger
-another bowl of the soup
-1 fruit-nut square candy
TOTAL: 1,070
Yesterday:
-bean burrito with peach mango salsa
-smoothie of 1 c. vanilla soymilk plus some frozen pineapple
- homemade soup (kale, mixed beans, and carrots)
-half serving of vegan frozen pizza
- one fruit-nut square candy
-whole wheat tortilla filled with steamed caulflower, carrots, and broccoli and topped with peach mango salsa
-2 candy canes
TOTAL: 1,059
