Vegan Food Diary for a Week

Posted on February 21, 2022January 17, 2025

I’m back with an old favorite: a food diary. Over the past 4 years as a vegan I’ve gotten more and more into a bubble. A vegan bubble. Sometimes to the point that I forget that people who eat everything have no clue about what I eat as a vegan. It’s become my normal to eat vegan, obviously. But since this is not the case for everyone I am going to share a food diary with you this week. Here’s my vegan food diary for a week.

Random Diary

I’ve only shared a vegan food diary for a week once before. I have to say, no week is the same in my diet. I try to listen to my body and do what’s convenient as well. Right now the only thing that’s consistent are my vitamins. Two times a week vitamin B12, every day vitamin D because it’s winter and once a week omega 3 (from algae oil). I also try to be consistent with my breakfast because I want to start the day with fruits and seeds. It does not always work, but it’s a start.

Other than that, there’s no structure in my diet. Every day is different. Sometimes I have food that I need to finish before it goes bad, sometimes I have food that I crave at that moment, sometimes I eat with a friend or at my parents. I have some guidelines but I am not too strict about it because I want food to be fun too. My guidelines are: as much fruit as I can in a day, same with vegetables, a hand full of nuts including one paranut and some beans. As I said, I almost never make that but that’s totally okay with me.

Thursday

Breakfast: cashewyoghurt with a banana, some blackberries, mulberries, an omega 3 seedmix (chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and hemp seeds), one vitamin D pill and one vitamin B12 pill.
Lunch: four slices of bread with a paprikaspread, lettuce and tomato.
Snack: a banana.
Dinner: some cumcumber maki’s (sushi) and a store-bought vegan pizza.

Wednesday

Breakfast: soy yoghurt with an apple, mulberries, an omega 3 seed mix (chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and hemp seeds), one vitamin D pill and one paranut.
Lunch (all shared with my boyfriend Casper): vegan gyros pancake and cinnamon roll at Mr. Stacks and falafel balls, fried cauliflower and a chickpea salad at Sir Hummus, both in the centre of Amsterdam.
Late dinner: potatoes with some potato herbs from the airfryer with some vegan mayonaise.

Vegan Drinks

There are no drinks in this diary because I try to only drink water. I might have a juice here or there, but I didn’t list anything. I do remember having two cokes when I went out to eat sushi on Friday. Other than that, I think it’s mostly water as it usually is.

All in All

Like I said before, all pretty random. What explains why I didn’t take my vitamins in the weekend is that I spend it with my family in Enschede, but that’s fine. Furthermore I tried some cashew yoghurt this week for the first time and I hated it haha. So, I won’t eat that again. Other than that I have some favorites: the soy beans, the nori snack and the nacho bowl are things I make more frequently. And I also loved the sushi at Ginze, the pancake at Mr. Stacks and the food at Sir Hummus. I feel like I also ate quite some bread, where I usually eat crackers because that does not take up space in my freezer. All in all, the only thing I would like to eat more is nuts and fruits. These are some good insights for me!

Do you sometimes keep a vegan food diary too?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee and I live an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle with more positive than negative impact on beautiful planet earth. Compared to most people, I live extremely sustainable. I don’t fly, eat meat or animal products, buy only secondhand clothing, etc. On the other hand, I try to help others as much as I can by donating a big chunk of my income, donating plasma, donating poop (yes!), volunteering, etc. On this blog you can read all about my lifestyle with only positive impact. I also have a Dutch Youtube channel (@duurzaamleven) and Dutch Instagram (@duurzaamlevenro). If you have specific questions for me, feel free to ask me anything.

Yours sincerely,
Romee (she/her)
