I saw that you are doing basically a Paleo approach to your diet, with not eating grains and what not? I know omnivore's have little issue with that but how does a vegan do when a solid portion of a textbook vegan diet is grain and bean? Can you maybe post what a typical day of eating looks like for you?
Hey dude, well despite being vegan for 5 years I'm just vegetarian these days so I eat eggs and a little bit of dairy (cheese only)
I don't think it would be easy to the whole paleo thing as a full vegan
Here's what I eat on a typical day (I'm cutting at the mo)
Meal 1: 3 or 4 eggs scrambled in sunflower spread with an avocado
Meal 2: Brazil nuts, frozen cherries/raspberries, protein shake with almond milk, coffee/green tea
Meal 3: some form of meat free product (usually quorn) with a salad of cucumber, avocado, spinach, French Mayo, beetroot/whatever veg is in the fridge.
Meal 4: either eggs or some form of meat free dish like quorn sausages/burgers, with ALOT of broccoli or button sprouts and Red Leicester cheese.
Meal 5: pistachio nuts, green tea/peppermint tea, a few greengage plums.
Meal 6: cashews, protein shake with water.
I supplement an omega 3,6 capsule and a multivitamin.
This all depends on if the Mrs is teaching in the evenings or not as we like to have dinner together, sometimes she'll make a bolognese that I have without pasta, I chuck in as much veg as I can, including chillies
I don't normally snack but if I'm feeling really hungry il have a hot drink (green tea, chai tea, coffee) and a bit of fruit or some nuts to keep me going, calories are currently at 2,050 but when I bulk that goes up to about 3,300
