Trying something different for me is usually always hard. I am a
routine kind of a girl when I’m in school. Having a routine is the only way I
can get things done. Today being the first meatless Monday I ever partook in
was difficult. I usually have a turkey burger for dinner or a typical meal of
rice, grilled chicken and veggies. It alternates depending on if I have time to
cook a full meal also depends on my class schedule.
For
this past Monday I had three meals. My first meal of the day was breakfast
where I had 25 grams of oatmeal, made with 241ml of almond milk, and two boiled
eggs. At around noon I got a little hungry and ate an orange. For lunch I went
to Moes located at the union and got a salad, instead of my regular grilled
chicken I decided to get tofu. I made sure to add more veggies so that I can be
full. I put black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, and onions
to my salad. That had to have been the best meal of the day. For dinner I had a
veggie burger, with Sara Lee bread, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and
avocado. After dinner about two hours later I got a little hungry so I
decided to eat some cereal and milk. I went to sleep soon after. My meal for
dinner was the most affected. I usually have a juicy turkey burger for dinner
or grilled chicken rice and beans. Due to only eating a thin veggie burger I
was hungry soon after.
Overall, I wasn't as hungry as I thought I
would be. I didn't really like the tofu. I missed my grilled chicken and my
regular turkey burger. I felt like I was getting a little irritated throughout
the day. I am not sure if that had to with the lack of meat in my day. It was
really difficult trying to look for options without any meat. I hope the next
few weeks get easier. I was so excited to wake up the next day and go have a
turkey burger. I will have to try and start making new recipes because I need a
variety if I’m actually going to go through it for the remainder of the weeks.
