EDIT: Nevermind. I found the homecooks community here. Plenty of good eating to be had there. I should have explored around before I posted here. That and the vegan cheat sheet in the side bar pretty much answers my questions. I’ll keep this post up just in case other newbies come here. (unless mod wants to delete)

Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question.

I plan on doing my research too, but thought I’d ask here since I just signed up.

I’m new to vegan lifestyle. Was meat eater most of my life, until turning vegetarian 6 months ago.

Now going full vegan. I’ll eventually go to raw vegan, but that’s gonna take some more planning, so I’m baby-stepping.

Anyone have a go-to meal for workout days?

I’m naturally skinny, so getting enough calories to grow is a bit of a pain. Back in my meat days, it was pretty easy.

Now I’m having a harder time. I have Huel-brand Vegan options, so I’ve been working with that. And it works, but just wondering if you guys had any fun ideas.

And if you fuckers permaban me on my first day for asking this, Imma be pissed! (kidding! Ok, not really)

    so I am more than 5 years vegan and did competitive track most my live. The answer to me was just eat more. If you want to grow bigger, just think about how you can incorporate chickpeas or tofu into anything. I have the same breakfast everyday, so it made sense to me to measure everything once, to just have an overview how many calories and other macros are already in me at the beginning of the day. Huel also helped me, when the lunch in the university cafeteria was a little small, or the vegan option was only soup

    Maybe also try a Base Metabolic Rate calculator in order to assess, how much calories you generally need, in addition to your workout calories. All the best on your workout journey
