I didn’t set out to be a vegetarian for a day, but that’s how my day turned out. Last night we grilled out Laura’s Lean burgers, and they were delicious, but I didn’t get all my servings of fruits and vegetables in for the day.
I love meat, especially Omaha Steaks, but only eat red meat two to three times a week. My main meat choice is chicken, followed by fish maybe once a week. I’ll also have the occasional turkey bacon, ground turkey in a dish or a turkey sub.
Today I started out with a breakfast of organic yogurt and a banana. Work was busy, so I didn’t get a snack. I choose a vegetarian lunch of Pad Pak at a Thai restaurant and a salad. My dinner consisted of a Robeks fruit smoothie, a chocolate Vita-muffin and a glass of milk. My evening snack during class was a cup of watermelon from Whole Foods.
I guess I got all my servings of fruits and veggies in for the day, plus my two milk servings. However, I probably did not get much protein. While at Robeks, I was struggling with my daughter and forgot to add my whey protein to my smoothie.
I’ll probably add meat back into my diet tomorrow. I’m going to bed hungry tonight.

As someone that has cut almost all meat out of my diet, I have noticed that I crave more sweets now. There has to be some connection. I find if I have a handful of mixed nuts or a glass of chocolate soy milk, this keeps my meat craving at bay.
