Morning - Smoothie, comprised of 2-3 cups of baby spinach, 1 1/2 - 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries - I use frozen because I can't afford real organic berries everyday), 1 banana, bee pollen, small handful of goji berries, a few figs, and some oj. This generally makes 2 servings, which I'll drink over a few hours or so. Ingredients depend on how I feel, but this really makes me feel great almost all of the time!

Noon - Salad - it's the easiest thing to take with me when I go to work. Baby spinach (I eat a lot of spinach), tomatoes, peppers, fresh parsley, cucumbers, nut/seed cheese, whatever else I feel like tossing in! My favorite dressing is lemon juice, evoo, lots of fresh garlic, shallot, and mint leaves! mmmmmmm.....

Supper - I like finger foods - always have! So when I'm home for dinner and have the time, I make lots of little finger delicacies - it makes it more fun at the end of a hard day, when maybe all I want to do is scrap the raw food and go straight to junk! Also, I find on raw food I'm not as hungry, so it's really easy to eat what I want, and put the rest away without overeating, or save it as a snack for later. Finger foods include things like nori rolls, collard rolls (any roll!), pate and crackers with cut vegetables, vegetables and dip, stuffed mushrooms, quiche.... anything really! I find I get a really good variety of foods in this way!

For dessert or snacks I'll have fresh fruit or fruit tart (nut/seed crust), just depending on how I feel. And If I'm really hungry, I'll snack two or three times a day!

Cheers!

what % of fat is in a durian? would eating 10lbs of durian bring your ratio of fat over 10% for the day?

i understand, as i have read 80/10/10, that the percentages are meant more as a longterm guideline and not as hard and fast everyday rule.

just curious...

I eat a lot, but I still nurse my 3 yr. old son, so I need energy from the food :-)

Oh my! Never felt as thirsty or as hungry as often as I do now That I'm breastfeeding. But I looked at myself in the mirror and my skin and hair look drained and haggard. Any tips? thought I was eating well, but my son is 11months and feeding all the time...

For the skin I recommend lot of fresh air outside / sun / be active (I spend so 4 - 5 hours daily outside running, chasing my toddler :-), also in the rain, I bought rain boot, coat and off we go!). Also flax seeds are good for the skin health - have some in your smoothies or whatsoever.

How long does it take you to chew all that salad? It takes me forever, which makes me want to just blend and drink.
