Hi Sarah
Welcome. I'm farirly new to this programme to and am loving it. I'm a veggie so a bit different, but I try to eat a lot of vegan protein so I'm not eating loads of cheese! So things I eat a lot of are lentils, chick peas, beans, hummus, tofu, nut butters, nuts, tahini, and seeds.
A few years ago I was very ill with endometriosis and I read a lot about soya. Apparently if you eat it in the fermented forms which have been eaten traditionally in Asia it's ok, so miso, tofu, soy sauce... But the unformented new ways of eating it are not at all great for hormone levels eg soy milk, soy burgers etc . So I'm now on almond milk.
I hope your retreat was good.

Almond milk actually has very little
: protein, unfortunately. It is my
: favorite non-dairy milk.

: something like whole grain
: crackers (Wasa crisps, for
: instance) and natural peanut
: butter. That will usually hold me
: until breakfast is served, and it
