Yeah I dont think I will be able to eat anywhere near that amount of food a day. So I am just trying to eat the things that are most nutritious out of every meal. I have been eating nuts and lentils at every oportunity between meals. Thanks heaps for the suggestions.

Not a bad idea!!

Thanks heaps!! I wasn't going to have the soda or crackers, just use it as a rough guideline. Thanks for you help. I am playing a show in sydney tomorrow night, are there any good places to eat around newtown? I know that Ichu (spelling?) is amazing on glebe point road and I like Green Palace Thai a fair bit aswell. My friend works at Organic Produce on Crown street so I will probably go there tomorrow for lunch.

Hello vegans, I am looking for a good bulking diet, because my diet at the moment is rubbish. Pretty much I have just been eating a lot of food with high protein and carbs and then a fair bit of fruit. But I am pretty lazy and get stuck for ideas of what to eat. For me, I would prefer to have a diet set in stone that I can follow everyday (and mix it up a little), to know when to eat and how much, just t know that I am getting enough of everything. I have been training hard and eating heaps. I have put on three kilos in two weeks with no noticeable fat gains (stoked!). But I am a little worried about what I am eating. I am 19 years old and I live in Canberra in a house full of vegans (so good!!). My brothers fiancé is an amazing cook, so I get to eat the food she makes sometimes. At the moment my diet is roughly: Upon Waking: 400 ml of soymilk, 3 scoops of Designer Physique soy protein isolate, 1 banana, little bit of Vanilla Extract. 1st meal: Bowl of muesli with soymilk. 2nd meal: Tvp Bolognaise sauce with pasta. 3rd meal: 4 slices of toast with natural peanut butter. Before Bed: Upon Waking: 400 ml of soymilk, 3 scoops of Designer Physique soy protein isolate, 1 banana, little bit of Vanilla Extract. Plus I take Flaxseed Oil Capsules (how many should I take??) and a Multi every day, and B12 once a week. I know it sucks. Can someone please help?!?

set your goals? great progress dood! you seem really fit Whoa!! Massive change. I hope that is Haley Williams... So cute!!

Yeah Au Lac is great, it is one of my favorite Mock meat restaurants. I think they do some of the best Rice paper rolls (Cold rolls) that I have ever tasted, lots of mint and basil. I think the food there is pretty healthy, some stuff is healthier than others of course. It's a good place to take omni friends as well. There are a couple of Ethiopian Places that have some Great Vegan food as well. If you want to add size and eat natural nutrional food, it's always good to know a good whole foods store, if you don't have one already there is one in Griffith that isn't bad. Do you mean Mountain Creek in griffith?? Thats about a 5 minute drive from my house. I will definitely go in and check it out. Also, the company I work for sell health food products and I have already got a good multivitamin, but we sell flaxeed oil capsules aswell. Are they worth taking? And in what dosage? Thanks SV, you have been a huge help

Yeah man, I ate at Au Lac last night!! Amazing tasting food, but I am not sure about the nutritional value. But braised mock chicken and vegetables with cashew nuts cant be that bad right?!? Thanks for that thread, i will suss some good Australian supplements. xx

Thanks heaps guys. All of the information is really good. I will look into getting some protein powder soon, but for now I am just going to dramatically increase the amount of good natural foods that i eat. Does anyone have a simple and effective diet plan that I could have a look at? And Sydneyvegan, thanks heaps for the help, I am keen to talk to you more about good quality products that we can get over here

I have been vegan for two years. I used to train when i wasn't vegan and i got really good results but since then have let them slip. I a very keen to get back into training on a vegan diet, but am a little apprehensive as to the gains that I can get on a vegan diet. Any help or tips on if I should be on Protein powder (and what one??) and just general information about training on a vegan diet would be much appreciated. I look forward to getting to know you all!!
