Okay so apparently I need more fat in my diet, so that's what I'm trying to do...

Breakfast: Smoothie with a banana, strawberries, orange, pitted dates, a teaspoon of peanut butter and a splash of rice milk.

Lunch: Greek Salad with kale, iceberg, spinach, cubed tomato, sliced red onion, kalamata olives and marinated tofu "feta".

Dinner: Is going to be pasta at a restaurant. First time I've eaten out as a vegan - wish me luck!

Snack: I bought some cherries today so I'll have those.

Vegan feta :o Would you mind sharing your recipe?! Best of luck eating out

Sure! It's from "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch".

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons organic lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

400-450g extra-firm tofu, cut into 1.25-2 cm cubes

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, oregano, salt and red pepper. Add the tofu and toss gently. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Use immediately :)
