I enjoy your posts and was really excited to read this. Then got even more excited when you said you eat partial vegan. I am vegetarian a real one so no eggs either and have been for years but I also lift weights and want those gains and it can be a big struggle to really get those proteins in and it not be all Greek yogurt and tofu!
But when I read your meals there is nothing I see that is partial vegan. Womp, womp big dissapoinment.
Chicken, cod, salmon, eggs nothing partial vegan there. I wouldn’t even call that pescatarian or octotarian
You are an omnivore that eats a lot of fruit and veggies. Great! I like your honesty in your emotional sharing but this was disappointing and misleading and it discredits what you are sharing.
I never posts comments to blogs, but this was like I said disappointing.

I am glad you felt compelled to post it because you were THAT disappointed lol.
Thank you for reminding me to update the plan.
Also, I steer clear of tofu unless it is hemp based, have you tried that one? It’s actually REALLY good!! I found it at the local health food store. The brand is tempt! They have a few different choices. Vegan is new to me, so I am always experimenting and trying to implement new ways to get protein. I don’t do greek yogurt regularly either because of the dairy. But if I am in a bind, I will add it to a shake or possibly have it with honey.
