No meat diet challenge!

Note to self blog post

So today Mama Leow and I had a lot of heat arguments.
Anyway, she wants me to go on a no meat diet from 9th of September to 16th of September.
Which is a week in short.
And i decided to give it a shot.
 But my concerns are " If I am able to get enough energy to do my daily exercise or dance"
So i went to google for the foods/snacks that i can eat to substitute meat. For those that don't know, I'm a chicken lover. I love meat and I love fried food.
So going on this diet would be a challenge for me! *meowzxc.

The foods that I can eat when I am on a no meat diet are Beans, lentils, nuts.
Fruits (2 servings) & Veggies ( 4 servings)
Grains
Dairy products(eggs)

Being a super picky eater, I won't touch beans, lentils. :p.

  • Vegetables ( I guess I'll just eat any vegetable that comes with the food i order. hate veggies. :( )
  • No soft drinks/ sweet drinks. Only plain water.

  • Don’t Eat These:
    1. Refined carbs such as white rice, white bread, white pasta, etc.
    2. Simple carbs such as cookies, candy, cakes, sodas, etc.
    3. Trans and saturated fats such as from processed foods and fatty meat.
    4. Whole milk.
    5. Concentrated juice
    6. Junk food such as chips, ice cream, muffins, etc.
    7. Fried food such as fried chicken, fish, onion rings, fries, etc.
  • Avoid “white” carbohydrates
    Avoid any carbohydrate that is — or can be — white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal, potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe.
Meals intake outline would be something like..

Breakfast : Milk, egg. idk what food my mum is gonna feed me
Snack (2hours later i think? ) : fruits
Lunch : whatever my mum is gonna feed me or ban mian or idk? LOL. I have no idea what can i eat
Snack : fruits
Dinner ( No more food after 8pm) : same as breakfast and lunch

Probably gonna snack on nuts for the whole day. ^^
