Daily: oatmeal / Shredded Wheat or All-Bran cereal, soy milk, cottage cheese (if I've got stock), almonds, tofu, stir-fried veggies, peanut butter (I'm hooked on this stuff!)

Weekly: eggs (due to an allergy... but I still do like me some eggs every once in a while :P), baked beans

It definitely depends on the person -- in my case, dairy does cause me to break out. Back when I didn't know any better, I've always just associated it with TTOTM. By now I've actually realized that while I do get pimples due to the hormone level change, the kind that's caused by dairy is much worse and harder to get rid of (which I often refer to as 'cow puss', that kind of nasty acne :/).

For some reason, I don't get any weird side effects from eating fat free dairy. I've cut back on my dairy consumption since I'm aiming to be vegan at some point, but I used to eat fat free cottage cheese by the tub daily and not once did it cause my skin to break out. It's made me think that it's the fat in dairy that's the culprit, though I've yet to read up on it.

Movies are MY LIFE, I was gonna make a similar thread but looks like ya beat me to it. :P

The ones at the top of my list are 300, Snatch, Fight Club, the Bourne series and Batman Begins (then again, pretty much all Christian Bale movies xD). There's just so many that it really is hard to pick!

Age: 17 (gonna be 18 in less than a month from now!)

Height: 5'1.5", I'll always say that it does count. :P

Weight:  102-ish lbs. on a good day, small frame and all.

Calories: 1300 on the most sedentary of days, 1500 at most and slowly maintaining at that. I never get how some people who are waaaaay taller can claim to be maintaining with these same numbers. >.>

Exercise: I do a LOT of walking.  That's all you need to know. xD I don't obsess much over my exercises.

All Time
Band: Linkin Park
Song: Nine Inch Nails - Just Like You Imagined

Current
Band: Metallica
Song: Oasis - F***in' In The Bushes

And he's not a band, but anything by Hans Zimmer is awesome.

I love vitamuffins. I am pissed though that the store I go to stopped stocking the mulit bran and blue bran. Now they only have the deep chocolate. I am not knocking the deep chocolate ( LOVE them) but the blue bran were a nice mini breakfast before school.

It's the complete opposite in the store I get mine from! They've run out of deep chocolate which is my absolute favourite, and only ever have multi and blue bran in stock. :( If only they could switch. :P

I'm not mad, but you have to understand that not everyone who decides to go vegetarian does it for the same reasons. Some people do it mainly for their own health benefits regardless of being an animal lover. That happens to be true for me, I do eat eggs for the protein and some dairy products for the calcium. And while it's true that I can "easily get those from other sources", I still choose to eat them to add a little more variety to my meals. If you find that gross, well, to each his/her own. :)

Another thing worth taking note of is that not everyone has daily access to food that are strictly vegan. I used to live in a country that does not have a grasp of the concept of vegetarianism, let alone veganism. If I were to be a vegan there, I would not have been able to get a sufficient amount of nutrients due to such restrictions and the people around me would see my refusal of meat/eggs/dairy as arrogance, which is a big deal in a place that's pretty much synonymous to poverty. Being able to eat eggs/dairy would be very helpful in that sense.

I'm sure there are plenty more reasons that other people can elaborate on, particularly religion, choice and of course, money. Personally, what I don't understand is all the hostility going around when it comes to these labels.

I take a multivitamin daily so I always log what I can of it (such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, and so on...) so it is possible if it's a supplement that provides some of the more common vitamins/minerals/etc.

Not sure about the calories so I'm just assuming that they do have calories, but just a tiny amount that isn't worth fretting over. Hopefully I'm right. :/ Some may contain sodium though. Again, no idea if it's an amount worth logging. I'd log it if the container has the exact amount printed out somewhere on it.
