To Eat or Not to Eat: Fruit Edition
Fruit contains water, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and a bunch of other stuff that your body NEEDS! It’s good for your skin, digestion, and overall well being. Beware of any diet that says you can’t eat fruit. Actually, you should run away from anyone who tells you that certain fruits should be avoided. That’s just poppycock!

I have a smoothie or protein shake at least five days a week. It makes the process of getting enough veggies, fruit and protein a lot easier.
Soy-Glazed Tofu
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 triangles)
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut crosswise into 6 slices
- 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
- 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons thinly diagonally sliced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Preparation
- Cut each slice of tofu in half diagonally. Place tofu slices on several layers of paper towels, and cover tofu with additional paper towels; let stand 15 minutes, pressing down occasionally.
- Combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (through rind) in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tofu slices in pan in a single layer; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat; pour vinegar mixture over tofu to coat. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This is a great idea. Sort of like a skinny eggplant parmigana recipe.
I would use soy cheese instead of dairy based.

It can be a real pain in your buns of steel to get enough protein if your vegetarian. It can feel damn near impossible if you are a vegan. Every body is different and so is its protein needs. If you’re interested in eating a high protein diet or just acquiring enough protein, the first step is to learn how much protein your body needs. In order to figure out how much protein you require, multiply your body weight by 0.36.
Here are some great sources of protein to try out. It is possible to go animal product free and still meet your fitness and health goals!
