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)

    Welcome! Oatmeal with peanut butter, or scrambled tofu for breakfast. lentils/rice/beans/peppers in some combo are a staple for me in general. Saag helps me eat a lot of greens, and makes me feel like popeye. We will make some burritos and freeze them so it is quick to have one as a snack. Homemade smoothies with some protein powder and whatever fruit is cheap lol. idk about a full raw diet, but i will smash a bag of baby carrots if we have them in front of me.
