Plant-Based Eating :: Volume II Day 3

Day 3 Volume II

Today was a very laid back and quiet day in the Zucchini Runner household. We didn’t do any workouts and we slept in. 🙂 Glorious. We did enjoy an extremely large breakfast that took quite some time to create… but that’s what Sunday’s are for! Of course I needed a cup of coffee to drink while cooking; it had some of my homemade almond milk in it too. As a side note, I glazed this mug in my ceramics class! I can’t take the credit for the mug itself, as it was provided by my teacher, but I did the leaf and glaze. It is one of my favorite mugs!IMG_2742

We made gluten-free banana walnut pancakes with white bean and lentil links, served with a side of homemade applesauce (from the freezer) and some fresh cherries! (680 calories, 123 carbs, 21 g fat, 25 g protein)IMG_2762

I took my vitamins with a mixture of homemade almond milk and Naked Juice’s Superfood. (98 calories, 17 g carbs, 3 g fat, 2 g protein)IMG_2768

For a late lunch, while I did some freelance work, Mr. Zucchini Runner whipped up some homemade hummus and broccoli sauteed with onion and a pan fried Amy’s Quarter Pound veggie burger. It hit the spot! (398 calories, 52 g carbs, 8 g fat, 29 g protein)IMG_2770Since everything about this day was late (waking up, eating, etc) we didn’t really do a full dinner. Instead, I had a bunch of snacks. 🙂 A handful of inka corn before heading out the door to get some groceries. (65 calories, 11 g carbs, 2 g fat, 1 g protein)

While at the store, I realized this sounded like a perfect “dinner”… then found out it had milk powder in it, but I don’t worry TOO much about that amount of dairy in things – plus I was starving. (200 calories, 17 g carbs, 13 g fat, 7 g protein)IMG_2778

I was still hungry when I got home, so I ate a banana with homemade peanut butter on each bite. I went over my calorie goal for the day (since I didn’t work out, it’s pretty low) but I was hungry so my body obviously needed it. (200 calories, 30 g carbs, 8 g fat, 6 g protein)IMG_2780Grand totals for the day were:

Calories 1,641

Carbs 250 g

Fat 55 g

Protein 70 g

Sugar 82 g

Now I’m all caught up for my journaling. Not doing the first write up on the first day really threw things off! 🙂 Ah well. If anyone has any questions, please don’t be shy to ask them in the comments below!
