Hey everyone, I'm a frequent member over at veggieboards, but they are lacking some bodybuilding advice and members over there.. soo now i'm here! I'm 21, and I've been veg for 15 months 25 days, not strictly vegan but im working my way there! I'm an ectomorph and being slender never really bothered me until i went veg (trying to break out of the skin and bone veg stereotype.) I have only been lifting for 7 months, mostly strength training, but its become almost an addiction now. I'm 5'10 and when i started lifting i weighed around 125 lbs and had around 6% body fat. Since then ive only managed to put on 5 pounds and my body fat percentage has gone up to 8%. I've been binging carbs, beans, lintils, oats but all the raw fruits and veggies i eat make gaining weight a challenge! I have been drinking a whey based weight gainer (66gs of protein per scoop), but can only drink soo much of it before it slows down my digestive tract. I try to drink at least a scoop a day, half after my workout and another half later on after a meal. Anyways, looking forward to learning the ins and outs of plant based body building! I don't want to just survive, I want to THRIVE!
