Synny667 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Fruits and vegetables are always good to add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Fruits are for carbs so your body runs happier. Add in a variety of vegetables. They trend to be low calorie and have vitamins minerals and protein in them. Dark leafy greens are always great to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) First off, congrats on going Vegan. Second, why are you so worried about protein, and why are you getting it mostly from soy?More importantly, how big are your servings anyways?There are many other sources, such as nuts, seeds, and their butters, whole grain bread, sea weeds like spirulina, beans other than soy, nutritional yeast, and even fruits and vegetables.You can have all these calculated for you from calorie counting websites or apps.

Mina Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ah! Gotchya! Darn, you need a lot of protein. Hmm. Maybe focus on high protein sources, then if they happen to also contain carbs, you'll need less carbs from other sources? Oh hell I don't know what I'm talking about lol, I've never needed that much protein. Check out VeganEssentials, Robert's, or Richard's journal. They all look like big boys that know what they're doing. I'm sure there's plenty more, but I haven't had the pleasure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
