Modified Vegan Diet - week 1


So what have we planned for our "modified" Vegan Diet?

Some background for those who are new and have not been following our story - My wife and I will be starting a modified Vegan diet in January and will be eating this way for 90 days. We’re working closely with a Dietician. The Dietician has given us some non-standard Vegetarian/Vegan eating guidelines which are:
No wheat, no nuts, no sugar-free pudding, no Jell-O, no animal products (dairy, meat), no oils (except a little spray Canolo), a salad a day with fat free dressing, no milk or other dairy products, no creamer for coffee, lots of fiber (beans), sea salt instead of regular salt, low sodium, gluten-free, ground golden flax seed powder spread over each dinner meal, a daily protein shake, no potato, no rice.

Here's a preview of week1 - Jan 1-5. Breakfast is simple and will always be a protein shake. Likewise, lunch is simple and will be a salad. Dinner is variable and what we're planning is shown with one caveat' which is: The dinners shown are what's on the plan, however, since we have new gadgets and meatless products and my wife is generally the one who must prepare these meals; the final decision about what the dishes are at each meal is up to her. That means, there may be some changes to what is show and planned. Will post updates as things progress.
