Fasting and abstaining.....

[Gymgurl]

anyone else follow this on fridays during lent....i do ....but not sure what is a good source of protein that is not combined with a ton of carbs....maybe just my shake?

Yep I would say a shake. What is considered food though? You could always through eggwhites in a kitchen aid with splenda and eat that. You could call it froth

 

[Gymgurl]

Yes I can eat eggs damn I forgot about them LOL....no meat...which is beef, chicken ...ect......

Aren't eggs = chicken?


Consider the vegetarian approach - tofu, lentils, nuts etc. Protein mix + peanut butter?

 

[Gymgurl]

LOL you know Sassy that is a good question and I have never thought about that with the eggs lol....Just made some lentil soup for lunch and had my protien shake this am,,,,

I never fasted during Lent - just did "meat free Fridays" and now I don't do any of it anymore....

How about beans & rice?? Meat Free chili?? Or try some of the Morningstar Farms vegetarian items - like the Chik'N patties, Buffalo Nuggets, and Veggie Crumbles - they are all very good.

And does fish count?

Normally, yes you can have fish...

But I don't know the rules of fasting as that's very old school Catholic & I never did that.....just did the no meat....

Hey if you don't know... why go questioning it. I would just eat eggs and acted like I thought they were not on the "X" list!

I'm pretty certain fish is a Friday tradition for this...

I'd just grill up some tilapia...side of black beans, brown rice...baby spinach salad.
