Quick Saturday Update

This was my breakfast this morning:

breakfastsmoothie

Green grapes, cantaloupe, spinach, mango, ice. About 350 cals worth. (I filled that glass twice with smoothie, I always make a lot!)

Lunch was several bananas – I had a bunch of them to either eat or freeze today or they’d get overripe. I also had some organic cheese cracker snacks. (Oops). Altogether 418 calories. The bananas I have are pretty small and I weighed them to get the correct calorie amount.

Dinner was one of Amy’s organic veggie soups, plus two more bananas. 264 calories.

My intake wasn’t very diverse today, so I had a mineral supplement, which has all of the minerals, plus iodine, zinc and calcium in it. I also drank lots and lots of water to dilute the sodium from the soup and crackers.

So I’ve only had 1032 calories today (too low, definitely) but today was a very relaxed (and somewhat lazy) day anyway. I was dying to get out for a walk but it was SO disgustingly hot and humid – mid nineties.

Too many bananas – 1 every other day is advised because of the potassium.

Hey Sarah, that’s not true at all. There are people who eat upwards of 20 bananas a day and are absolutely thriving. The body easily disposes of any extra potassium it doesn’t need. I should know since I regularly take in several times the day’s recommended limit. :-)

Jules, fruitarians have to eat a lot of fruit or they’d starve. :-)
