Hi Everybody!! :)
First of all: this is a great site and a super forum! ;)b
I"ve been a vegetarian for more than 10 years. I am trying to change to vegan.
I thought it was going pretty well, until I realized that i was losing weight: I weighed 54 kg (120 lb) three or 4weeks ago. Now I should be by 50 kg (110 lb).
I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies. I know it's not enough...
How much lentils or beans do you eat a day? Should I introduce them for every meal?
Thanx!!
Containers?
You surely means these plastic boxes? Yes, I think I'll be able to take two or three... for a day or two it's okay :)
For longer trips, I will have to think of something else!

Yeah, like tupperware, gladware, or whatever you want to use to hold the food. I hope you are able to work it out so that you can take meals and snacks, and have plenty of food to eat!
Ooooh! :)>>>
Thank you so much :-*
Some of Many of the recipes on here make more than one or two servings; perfect for packing up and storing if you don't mind eating the same thing for a few meals; you can always add different sauces/spices to it to switch it up a bit, or make two or three things and rotate them out as meals?
Also, for snacks, I don't know if you can get the same things in Germany as you can here, but you can check out PETA's "accidentally vegan" list:
http://www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/
That may have some snacks, breakfast cereals, etc on it that may make your busy life a little less hectic, at least in the beginning until you figure out a routine?
*I don't remember if anyone mentioned any of the above; it's been too long and too off-topic*
I've never had those but,
LARA BARS ARE YUMMY, TOO.
So i got a Lara bar. Its good. ;)b
I've never had those, but
CLIFF BARS
I'll have to try a cliff bar tomorrow, any in particular you'd recommend?
I like the brownie ones I think they're vegan I havent had any in a while besides those. My friend bought a box and realized she didnt like them and gave me it :)>>> Just ran out a little while ago

Carrot cake AND brownie, huh? If I brave the snow storm again, I shall pick them up and render a personal verdict ;)
Wanted to add, I had a chai flavored Luna bar for breakfast today and you guys aren't kidding, they're delicious and super healthy.

Get the chocolate chip one too! It's my other favorite. Down here the WF has them on sale 5/$5. While I was picking some out I got in a discussion with a woman who was also buying them. I picked out a blueberry one per her suggestion.
So i had a chocolate pepermint stick lara bar yesterday. Freaking amazinggggg. Got the peanut butter clif bar for later, i ment to grab carrot cake :-\

pb is great - you wont be sorry. microwave it for 12 seconds. those things should come with directions...
and eat it with an apple.. it will turn into caramel apple in your mouth.
I had a Peanut Butter Cookie (?) Luna Bar the other day. It was tasty and delicious.
They have a chocolate peppermint stick Lara Bar?! I was staring at the Clif and Luna Bars and I couldn't remember which I was supposed to get (of either) so I just chose one at random. I was not disappointed.
I'm not vegan but I don't eat meat and rarely have milk or eggs so you could say I'm vegitarian... and its weird b/c I recently just got over a eating disorder and was told by my parents and the doctor to put on weight... not so easy when your trying to eat healthy at the same time. I eat like 2400-2500 calories/day and I still need to gain about 5-10 lbs but not really sure how to b/c the meals I eat now are sooo big (prolly cuz they're healthy) so I can't really eat more. Should I just eat more sweets and nuts etc...?????
