Today was veganmania fest in Chicago; kind of like a Taste of Chicago but vegan...fabulous food, wonderful entertainment (poi dancers, bellydancers, electronica spinners, folk singers, etc), concious vendors, freebies, samples, cool clothes, amazing speakers...what a wonderful day!
Brunch: a small sample plate from Soul Vegetarian East, consisting of a couple of strips of barbecue seitan, collard greens and vegan mac and cheese.
Lunch: Mac the Chip cookie (like 500cals...) and a vegan hot dog on a whole wheat bun from Veggie Bite
Dinner: an oatmeal bar, a handful of almonds and a small square of dark chocolate.
Surprising that I didn't sample more than I did...but not so surprising if you consider the line went on FOREVER and I am not one who likes to wait in lines. I got one of the first samples from Soul Veg East, because I was one of the first there. By lunchtime, however, I was not having it.
So you can keep track of what you eat - which enables you to analyze your foods and receive the following:
- Health Score of your overall diet
- Warning when you approach your daily calorie limit
- Overview of the good and bad nutrients
