Day Zero - What did I eat before the cleanse?

Today was the last day of free-for-all food before I begin the Ease-in period of the cleanse. I had a pretty well balanced diet today, and since I am not a regular meat-eater, but this diet seems to be aimed at those who are, I even had a bit of meat.

Exercise:
Ran 6 miles

Breakfast:
Banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup of coffee
2 tablespoons soy milk

Morning Snack:
Plain bagel - toasted
2 tablespoons peanut butter
6 ounces 100% Tropicana orange juice from concentrate

Lunch:
Torta Lengua (Mexican beef tongue sandwich with tomatoes, avocados, lettuce & Mayo)
16 ounces water
8 ounces hibiscus juice

Afternoon snack:
Homemade hummus (15 oz garbanzo beans, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 3 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp olive oil)
3 organic red peppers

Dinner:
1 small eggplant
1 red pepper
1 egg
1 tortilla
1/2 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
