Healthy-ish Vegan Eating

Vegan eating with a focus on choosing healthy options 70-80% of the time, and less healthy (processed, "junk", etc.) the rest of the time.

Basically, an "everything in moderation" approach to a vegan diet.

A big focus on whole grains, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and beans.

Eat when hungry, even if it's every 2 hours. I highly encourage three meals and three snacks a day.

An example of a day on this diet-

breakfast- oatmeal made with almond milk, with a spoonful of peanut butter mixed in

morning snack- handful of almonds, banana

lunch- barley mixed with kidney beans, tomatoes, EVOO, and spinach

afternoon snack- baggie of mini-oreos, apple

dinner- brown rice with black beans, steamed broccoli, EVOO

evening snack- tortilla chips with hummus

exercise- 1 hour on the treadmill (walk/run intervals)
