What do vegetarians eat??? My complete meal list.

This is pretty much all that vegetarians eat...

Dandelions and cigarette stubs... (got caught in the shot by accident)

So.. It has been a year without meat already. Yes, I am still alive - it is me writing this post. And no, I haven't developed protein deficiency.

I have decided to monitor what I eat all week as it seems I never have the same dish. As it turns out a week later...

I do have the same dish quite often, hahaha.

It is only because I do not like wasting food I end up planning my meals around what I have. For example, this week I couldn't NOT buy this reduced fresh artisan bread, which is why I had bread-based meals all week. Some weeks I buy loads of potatoes, and plan my meals around them so they don't get thrown away.

It was also a good experience to see that I have chocolate every single day.. and milkshakes, and peanut butter, and curd... I'm trying to put on some size you see. Otherwise I would be having more vegetables and fruits. My girlfriend doesn't eat as much of these saturated-protein foods as I do, and she's fit as a fiddle.

As can be seen, I'm not on the healthiest diet, and it's nothing special. Most of the foods I eat I make myself, including curries, sauces, etc, so they're not smothered in oil. This week has been pretty unusual as I don't usually have that many curries and pasta meals. I have to say I did miss eating more vegetables.

With the weather getting warmer I believe I will move towards eating more greens and pulses, and less pasta dishes/fried stuff. And my diet is probably quite similar to a regular westerner's diet.. so why not join the vegetarian community today? :D
