Pesach and nutrition

[cellio]

Notes to self for next year:

• Use fish, a lot, to make up the protein deficit (waa! no soy!) without driving calories through the roof. That much meat, cheese, and egg is bad for you.
• But not tuna salad. I mean real fish, several times during the week. Fresh fish freezes.
• Eat more fruit. Fruit doesn't have to come in cans, you know; there's this place called the produce aisle.
• Eat more veggies too. Buy a microwave-safe casserole for this.
• There's a vitamin-balance problem, but I don't know how to fix it when the balanced breakfast drink is off limits.
• Baby carrots are not the only convenient raw veggie -- just the most convenient one. 400% RDA on Vitamin A is probably bad for you, even if it's only a week.
• Maybe you shouldn't eat matzah after the seders. It's not required, and there are other delivery systems for cheese and jam. Ok, maybe not jam, but you shouldn't be eating much of that anyway.

Soybeans are in the category of "kitniyot", banned by Rabbinical enactment because of a perceived similarity to "chametz" (wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt — except when prepared as matzot according to very strict rules; but you can't use that to get around kitniyot, soy matzot would not be kosher).

Another rapid answer! Thanks.
