  1. Hello, my wife and I are having a difficult time finding the right mix for the vegan lifestyle change. We have been flexatarian for about 5 or 6 years eating organic chicken about once a week and salmon (not farm raised) maybe every two weeks. She uses whey protein powder and has for yrs but to become vegan we need to give it up. We also use pea protein which we plan to keep using for now (although at some point it would be nice to cut all powders from out food source), and we just ordered some plain brown rice protein powder to try out. Also we are trying to avoid soy and hemp is out because of drug testing concerns (my job requires hair sample drug testing and I've read conflicting information about this). I work out 5 days a week at two different gyms. I'm not interested in gaining large muscle mass, only staying at my current build which people guess is 165 lbs and not 140lbs. My wife is truly an excellent cook so we never eat out anywhere ever. What she prepares is what we eat, up until now this has not been a problem, but being a total vegan is presenting problems we're not used to. Meat, dairy, has been how we balanced out protein needs, now it's much more difficult. This is how I came to this site to ask people who live a vegan life style what do you do for nutrition without resorting to eating beans (all the different types) everyday for protein. Your feedback is appreciated.
