i have updated my diet to a weekly schedule, partly because it makes it easier to adjust to the need to order groceries once per month. you can compare this to the mediterranean or whatever diets out there.

i do not use added salt and i try to make most things myself. you should pick a relatively decent caesar brand (do your homework) and you should note that the frank's is often a less harmful substitute for salt. i add cheese, ice cream, bacon and salami to actually get fat, as the diet is void of it, otherwise. i don't like the taste of milk; this is a better option than drowning it in chocolate.
 
monday AM - cereal: 
45 gram all bran, 40 g vector, 15 g of wheat bran, 1 tbsp of flax seed, 10 g of nutritional yeast (w/ b12), 10 g of hemp seeds, 17 g of paprika, 1 tbsp of sunflower seeds, 400 ml of sugarless & fortified soy milk, 250 mg of vitamin c (1/2 of a 500 mg pill)

monday noonish - brunchy fruit bowl:
150 g of strawberries (frozen, usually), 2 bananas, 1 kiwi (with peel!), 1 mango (with peel!), 1 cara cara orange, 1 avocado, 10 g of hemp seeds, 1 tbsp of sunflower seeds, 125 mg of vitamin c

monday PM - avocado/guacamole pudding:
2 avocados, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika, 10 g of nutritional yeast (w/ b12), 1 tbsp of sunflower seeds, 10 g hemp seeds, caesar salad dressing, frank's hot sauce, 30-50 g of retinal fortified cheddar cheese, 125 mg of vitamin c. you might dip whole wheat bread in this, but i just eat it with a spoon.

(vitamin c is normally taken in 125 mg doses at 00:00, 6:00, 12:00, 18:00, except mondays, where a double dose with the cereal is therapeutic)

this makes my shopping more predictable for a while, until i'm able to go out of the house again, once the fight with my landlord subsides.

i'm not certain if i'll hold on to the added dishes, which are the pasta, the bacon-tomato sandwich and the nachos, but i'm leaning that way.
