400 calorie vegan meal plan for one day (part 2)

juttingbones:

part 1 here

breakfast: WEETABIX – 177 calories
🌱 2 weetabix biscuits (134 calories)
🌱 2 tsp honey (43 calories)
🌱 dash of cinnamon (optional, 0 calories)

• Boil 1 cup of water in the kettle or microwave. Place 2 weetabix biscuits in bowl, and pour the hot water over them. Then drizzle the honey (or equivalent sweetener, such as 2 tsp sugar, agave nectar, etc.) over it and stir. It will be very hot for a few minutes – eat it as soon as you can. If you don’t have weetabix, follow the recipe in my link to part 1 for Apple Oatmeal – this has 35 calories less but is not as filling, in my opinion.)

lunch: 1 cup of black coffee or tea. If you’re feeling nauseated or bloated, drink peppermint tea.

dinner: RICE AND BEANS – 224 calories
🌾 ½ cup of either canned vegetarian refried beans, or ½ cup of canned black beans (115 calories for refried beans, 109 calories for black beans)
🌾 ½ cup of cooked brown rice (this is 1/6 of a cup of uncooked brown rice, 109 calories)
🌾 1/8 tsp salt (0 calories)

🌾 pinch of rosemary (optional, 0 calories)

• Bring ½ cup of water to a boil on a very small pot on the stove. Add the rice and salt. Cover the pot and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30-45 minutes, until done (all the water should be absorbed, and the rice should not be crunchy or mushy. You can take the lid off the pot to check once you reach 30 minutes, and then check again every 5 or so minutes afterward. If all the water is absorbed but the rice isn’t done yet, add 1 tablespoon water and continue cooking.)
• Once the rice is done, add the beans to the pot and stir to combine. Turn the heat up a little and add the rosemary. Continue heating until hot and then eat.

🌿 TOTAL: 401 calories (395 if you used black beans) 🌿

🍒🍊 TIPS: drink 2 liters of water, and eat dinner at around 4:30 pm, if possible. You don’t want that sitting in your stomach overnight, so the earlier you eat it, the more chance you have to burn it off. After dinner, pour yourself another cup of black tea and then go for a ½ hour walk. 🍊🍒
