What does your daily meal plan look like

[AliCat]

I think Im doing this wrong and would love to see what you all eat for breakfast, Lunch, dinner, desserts and snacks. how often you eat and do you stop eating certain foods after a certain time of day. I just got Alissas book today but I cant read it fast enough ;) thanks for any help!

Many people post what they have eaten each day in their journals... I just started doing this (I'm on Day 3) and a lot of people link to their journal in the signature of their posts.

There are also a couple different threads, maybe the 30 Day Challenge forum area is where I saw it..yeah.. Check out this thread for starters... You might have to scroll through a page or two to get the goods ;)

Hope that helps! :D

This is what I had yesterday, for example:

9 am - smoothie: ~2 cups organic black grapes and 1.5 cups blueberries, with cold ginseng tea

snack - 1/2 Lara Maya cocoa-mint bar

12:30 pm - Blended Salad (1/2 cucumber, 1/2 bell pepper, 1 tomato, 1/2 avocado, 1 bunch cilantro, some escarole leaves, lime juice, dollop 'nacho cheese')

1:45pm - Still hungry. Flax crackers with lots of nacho cheese, thick like a dip.

Snacking - Feeling CONSTANTLY hungry. Ate a handful of unsoaked almonds.

Dinner - 7pm BIG salad again, grated carrot, tomato, ground seeds, mixed greens, mustard/evoo dressing...and...

"Cheese burger" between nori sheets, with nacho cheese, and sunflower seed 'refried bean' stuff which morphed into a burger taste, tomato slice and pea shoots. Why oh why didn't I take a foto?!


Evening snack - Cookies! (cashew-coconut-carob)

Okay....here's what my M-F days look like:

Meal 1, 6:00 am on weight workout days: 1 banana whipped up with water
Meal 2, 8:00 am (after workout) Smoothie w/ 1 banana, 2T dried coconut, 1 apple, small handful almonds, maca, 2 dates--very rich and dense, sticks with me a long long time.
Meal 3: around 1:00 small salad w/ 1 red pepper, 1/2 cucumber, misc veggies, 5-10 kalamata olives w/ dressing made from tahini and nama shoyu
meal 4: 5:00pm couple peices of dried eggplant, or onion-flax cracker, or apple(usually I'm still at work)
meal 5: 7:00 pm, salad again like for lunch, either big or small depending on hunger level. If I feel like something sweet after the salad I'll have a raw brownie or some raw ice cream.

Usually on the weekend I eat a little more, or try a unique recipe, but during the week I eat very simply. I let myself eat whatever I want...but this routine seems to be what my body wants right now, I feel completely satisfied, no ED issues at all, no cravings. I was at a meeting tonight where chocolate was being passed around the table over and over again....didn't even phase me. I have a huge homemade bar of chocolate in my fridge (raw of course) that's been there forever...if I wanted chocolate I knew I had my own at home.


Good luck! There's no "wrong" way when you're getting started. Just try things and listen to your body. My body responds really fast when I do the right things.

I cannot keep a record, rather I choose not to keep a record. I consider myself free and no more under the law of dieting, I just stay RAW. This is my statement and I commend you if you can handle the paperwork.

In general, I eat about 5 times a day. Usually one or two of those meals is a salad, soup or sushi, just something with vegetables/greens. I sometimes use some avocado, olive oil or some seeds or nuts in there. The other three or four times it is either fruit by itself, fruit with some almonds/honey or with a mix of ground almonds/date/lemon zest, or fruit in a smoothie (sometimes with hempseed, like banana/orange/apricot/hempseed or banana/strawberry/hempseed and sometimes with parsley, like mango/parlsey, a so called 'green smoothie'). In between I drink some bottled spring water.
I actually eat quite simple, no complicated meals, no dehydrating. Organic when possible and also a lot of fruits that are in season.

[Revvell]

Ummm, there's a plan? :confused:

[rawfigure]

My actual food choices depend on what is available Organic and in season. I eat almost all organic.

In AM I have lemon in water, warm yerba mate tea
1/4 of fruit, banana preferred
work out, skin brush when I have my shower
then I eat any in season organic fruit till mid afternoon
if I have lunch: salad or green drink or more fruit
snack is green drink or tomato, cucumber, peppers, carrots
dinner: big salad
if hungry before bed I have apple or something that digests fast

add on's to diet is pumpkin seeds, almonds, and flax crackers
on occassion I make raw brownies.

My "typical" day would be...

Green juice-sample would be kale, cucumber, beets, carrots, lemon, ginger, apple, celery, spinach

Green smoothie-bananas, berries, lots of greens, a date or two

Large salad-mix of greens and variety of veggies with a raw dressing

Desserts-brownies or banana ice cream

These are the things I have most everyday, throw in a few main dishes and pates from time to time and that is about it!

I really don't have a set meal plan. I like to have some variety in my diet. Eating the same thing over and over again would bore me:eek:.

Since I am in college I have strange eating habits and not completely raw. But a raw day for me will be. 3-5 bananas in the morning, Lara bar or two for a snack. Cherries, apples, whatever fruit I have in my fridge as snacking through out the day. Avocado and cherry tomatoes with vinegar for lunch. And dinner usually a large salad from the dining hall salad bar with any raw veggies they have on it. And their rasberry vinegarette, which I know is not raw. But any dressing. I'll also munch on some of my raw foods, like crackers or such.

This is mine, too. Exactly. Freaky.

I don't think there is any right or wrong ways. I post what I eat daily on this thread and so do others. Take a look for inspiration or ideas, but do what feels good to you.

T/F/S/S
Dinner is the only thing really different we only eat soup or smoothies and maybe a little cheese and crackers with it.

The reason I work till 930pm on these days and after we eat we usually are excercising and going to bed.
