I’ve noticed the absence of fish in your daily food diary, and assume that you are a strict vegetarian. How do you replace the omega 3 fatty acids which are supposed to be so benefical to our health?
Have really enjoyed your daily entries – thank you!

Hi Jennifer – yes I am strict vegetarian. So Omega 3s can be tricky. I eat nuts regularly. I add LSA (linseed, sunflower & almond meal) and walnuts to my muesli. Plus the breakfast bars I ate in the first week had lots of nuts. I also have regular quantities of soy and green vegies, both of which are also high in Omega 3s.

However the Omega 3s in these vegetarian foods are not necessarily as useful as those in fish.

This is one of the shortcomings of a vegetarian diet.

I was thinking your meals look so wonderful and, well, summery—but then I noticed the .au in your blog url, so I guess that makes sense! (That’s what I get for my initial Northern Hemisphere-centric thinking.) I love fresh local peaches. Yum yum yum.

Hi there Sally – yes I’m way down South, so we’re excitedly heading into summer. After a winter of apples, oranges and pears I’m loving the new season stone fruit.
