Thank you to everyone for the welcome. I am glad for all the feedback I have received so far concerning body building while vegan. I am concerned though that I cannot properly feed my body in which to gain lean mass. I'm not looking to be as big as a house..just a little thickness...I just began a weight lifting routine in the gym. I believe I get enough protein, etc. Interested in learning more about vegan protein meal replacement shakes.....also, other nutritional info most helpful...I just want to stay Vegan while being in great shape muscularly...thanks again
