Vegetarian Options for "fish oil" and high protein breakfasts, meal ideas please
I'm a vegematarian ;)
Just wondering if anyone knows of any veggie-friendly fish oil alternatives. I try to take flax oil, but I don't think it's as "complete" as fish oil.
Also, I'm working on starting off the day right with better protein intake...
I have difficulty getting my act together for a streamlined morning - cooking anything is a bit much to ask of me in the morning, so quick eats high in protein would be good.
I love eggs and cheese; tofu..
most days I find myself having arrowroot cookies and/or fruit for breakfast and then canned soup for lunch.
The whole meal planning is quite draining for me, as is planning in general. I've tried many times to do it as a team with DH, with short lasting results. Frustrating, as I know that living day by day is not going to work well when we have children in a few years.
I have ingredients like:
textured vegetable protein (TVP)
veggie grounds
veggie sausages
cottage cheese
cheese
eggs
soy protein powder
I don't eat seafood, red or white meat, honey. I generally try to avoid food products that involve the demise of an animal (gelatin, caviar...).
I love:
pasta, eggs, tofu, soy sauce, mangos, cheese, "chicken" nuggets, most vegetables (my kids are screwed, I love broccoli, brussel sprouts, spinach...), japanese food.
I don't rely on coffee in the morning, however, I enjoy coca cola a little too much (most sodas in general). I try to avoid artifical sweeteners as much as possible, and try to use organic sugar cane as a sweetener (white sugar uses the bones of cattle during the refining process).
I have been successful in the past at getting a routine going in terms of having a water bottle ready to go in the fridge and a decent lunch... but I fell off it. I guess I just need to brush myself off an get back to the routine.
If there are any vegetarian ADDers or nutritionists out there who can help me out, that would be great!
