  1. This is a great list. So many options. Go three months and never eat the same lunch twice!

  2. Awesome list, kinda dispels the myth that all vegans eat are fruit and veggies.

  3. I would be careful when ordering from Chipotle as they have not always been up front about what is in their food. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/18/chipotle-menu_n_930267.html#s332765&title=Seth_Porges

  4. Talia, that’s why I said to order a black bean burrito :)
    FYI – it’s not just Chipotle that adds animal products to pinto beans, many burrito places do that. That’s why it’s always a good idea to ask if there are animal products if something isn’t clearly labeled “vegan” or “vegetarian.”

  5. I like the extensive list but a few things seem a bit unhealthy. White bread, a large soda, fake cheese… Skip the fat and simple carbs and swap for whole wheat bread, water and oil-free hummus!
