Went to the inlaws for the weekend. Nutritarian eating is not impossible there, since they are vegan, but their diet is slightly more grain-heavy than what I've been following at home. I've been trying to eat no more than 2 servings of whole grains per day, whereas Todd's parents usually have about that much per meal. With that much heavy calorie-dense food in the stomach, there isn't as much room for vegetables, which have so much more nutrients.
At lunch today I helped Juanita by making the salad... I just used all the lettuce and vegetables she laid out for me. Here's what our conversation was like....
Juanita: "Do you think that will be enough salad? We're having about 12 people for lunch today."
Me: "Hmm, maybe I'm not the best judge of that. This is about what I normally eat by myself!"
Juanita: "How about we put this one out for everyone else and then you make another one just for you?!"
So I did. Afterwards I had a small bowl of chili that Tami's friend brought over and some strawberries for dessert.
