Okay so I'm doing the Vietnamese Buddhist fast or Chay.

I'm a picky eater as is so the fast isn't helping and I'm starving! Help - what do you guys eat?

What I'm not allowed to eat:
Eggs
Meat
Anything that's touched meat
Anything with Fish Sauce
Anything that an Animal died for me to eat - basically Kosher fasting.

What I am allowed to eat (according to my mother):
Cheese
Ice cream
Bread that has no eggs

So the last week all I've had - Spaghetti, Cheese Pizza, PB sandwichs, Top Ramen and McD's Fries because thats the only place I know that now makes their fries in Olive Oil instead of Lard.

I'm sick of Ramen - I don't eat it EVER, rather starve then eat that stuff. PB I can't stand. So pretty much Cheese Pizzas and spaghetti for me. I'm hungry - will someone please tell me what they eat? My mom made me veggie friendly egg rolls last night and that was good but I can't eat fried food too often my body freaks out. I can't even have salads because I only eat Ceaser and Ranch Dressings - both of which have eggs as an ingrediant.

I love an chay. You can ask your mom to make you these:
-Tofu. I dont know if you like it or not, but you can ask your mom to make you a lot of dishes with Tofu and veggies
-Imitation meat. Its generally reddish and it taste sooo good. You can find it at your local Asian store.
-Imitation fish. Sounds gross, I know, but I love this stuff. It's usually fried, but I guess you can bake it too. Local Asian store
-Or make canh(soup) chay
-How about sushi? california rolls are allowed..i think

^ ca rolls usually have imitation crab ... but there's mayonaise in it i think which has eggs

easy dishes to make are tofu + veggies ... usually stirfried in some soy sauce + a little flour/cornstartch/startch to thicken a lil (i usually use fish sauce ... but since you can't, it's still a good substitution even though they have different tastes ... it's still savoury) ...
