7 Day Food Journal

I previously posted a 3 day food journal where I kept track of what I was eating and how much. What I discovered was that I’m really good at being raw vegan until dinner time, when things seem to fall apart for me. This is still somewhat true.

This time around, I decided to post a 7 day food journal so that I could get a sense of how my eating habits have changed since my last food journal post back in May 2013 (which can be found here https://raworganicvegetarian.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/3-day-food-journal/). What I’ve noticed is that I now snack less in between meals and eat more fruit in the morning for breakfast.

Below is my food journal for 7 days. I didn’t include water but I generally drink 84 fl. oz of water a day, more if I’ve done hot yoga that day.
