Diet: Cambridge Diet
As a new veggie I was worried about protein intake, however I've found FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal and filled a few days in with some obvious meal choices and found that i'm over the recommended protein intake every day, even double some days. It's startling how much protein is in vegetables.

Asparagus 3g
Aubergine 1g
Beans 9g
Beetroot 2g
Broccoli 3g
Brussels Sprouts 3g
Cabbage average 1g
Carrot 0.5g
Cauliflower 3g
Celery 0.5g
Chicory 0.6g
Courgette 2g
Cucumber 0.5g
Fennel 1g
Gherkins 1g
Leek 1.6g
Lettuce 0.7g
Marrow 0.5g
Mushroom 2g
Okra 2.4g
Onion 0.7g
Onion (Spring) 2g
Parsnip 1.5g
Peas 7g
Peppers 1g
Potato 1.6g
Pumpkin 0.5g
Radish 0.7g
Spinach 2g
Swede 0.5g
Sweetcorn 2.5g
Tomatoes 2g
Turnip 0.8g
Watercress 3g
Yam 2g

The above is based on 100g servings and vary depending on how they are cooked. This puts my mind at ease a lot, also helps me decide to limit my egg intake as the cholesterol may become an issue.....

Other news, bought some Omega mix from Justin Graves which contains Linseed, Sunflower seeds, Sesame seeds, and a few others which are packed with omega 3 and 6, thus helping me cut down on fish a LOT. Also got some seaweed crackers which are delicious after the lovely Dancing brought snacking to my attention...

OH OH OH, bought Goji berries too which are utterly delicious and will be added to some yoghurt for brekkie
