Gets,

Yes, it's more of a lifestyle. One of the problems with those mushroom burgers is that they may cook them in oil or butter, which defeats the purpose. It has to be vegan style, which is harder to find. There are some vegan places out there, but they're usually way overpriced. If I go to Subway and want it without the bread, they charge $1.75 more! They charge you more money for less food! At least at In-N-Out they charge you less if you skip the bun and eat it protein style. So that's the kind of thing we run into. It's worth it in the long run, but basically you have to prepare your food early.

If you want snack food you can cut up some apples, seedless grapes, celery, broccoli, cauliflower and/or carrots mixed with some nuts and put it in a bowl, but it has to be eaten within a few days before it rots. Dried fruit works too, but a lot of the dried fruit in the markets are sugared, and even on the dried fruit without sugar they are calorie heavy. A lot of trial and error, so maybe I'll come up with something else in the future.
