[quote=Anonymous]OP I am not sure I could do your menu long term.  Vegs are great but I wonder if you need a little more protein.

If you aren't really vegan (eating chicken), I might add a few more protein sources.  Maybe an egg, more chicken, fish?  Or start with the menu you have but add a little more protein if you are getting hungry.

I have been doing a low carb, mininal white carb, low calorie diet for 6 months and it's working (I posted earlier that I've lost 28 lbs so far).  I rarely cheat (only if I am out to eat) and am really not hungry.  In a typical day I eat:

breakfast - instant grits with a teaspoon or so of shredded cheese or oatmeal with 1/2 banana,  sometimes a piece of whole wheat toast with a soft boiled egg

lunch - apple and cheese with a couple of nuts, or piece of chicken with salad, or squash soup, or hummus with carrots and whole wheat pita.  occasionally I wil have whole wheat pasta and peas.

snack - a few cashews or pretzels or almonds

dinner - varies - usually a protein and vegetables

dessert - fruit - poached pear, berries, sauteed apples, etc.
