    I am looking to bulk up a bit though struggling - not (I don't think) because I'm vegan but because I'm older (but not necessarily wiser in this arena). I'd love to have vegan friends on that same road. :)

    Hey Everyone! I'm 27 and been a vegetarian for almost 6 months now. I absolutely love it! Since December I've lost about 10 pounds. I realize that a few of you are looking to gain but I'm actually trying to shred a little more. Any suggestions?

    HI, Barry, I'm older - in body if not in mind - answer I'm vegan simply because I seem to be allergic to everything that is not vegan. Plus I can't eat gluten / wheat, oats, or broccoli / cruciferous veggies. As a result it's hard to get enuf protein. I'm now 67, but a only a few years ago I was pretty fit. Now that ive figured out my dietary pro

    To continue (cat stepped on post reply), . . . dietary problems, I'm looking to get back in shape so I can see my abs and triceps again. I'm really looking for a buddy to help work through these dietary changes while building some muscle and losing the fluff.

    I just completed the nice to Vegitarian, and am working toward Vegan. I need more protien. I'm up to 50-65g per day. 40 from Vega shakes, 10-25 throughout the day. I'm looking to reach 100-ish grams.
    Any ideas?

    @wil_driver 2 year vegan here. I start my mornings with oatmeal, with protein powder, nuts and fruit. Lunch is typically veggies and pasta, a shake, or some sort of sandwich. Dinner is almost always veggies, beans, and a grain. I get anywhere from 110-135g protein per day!

    Hi, I'm m24 and a vegetarian. Losing fat and gaining strength is what I'm up for. I'm currently following beginner level Bodyweight exercises. Protein intake is quite challenging for a vegetarian.

    I'm not vegetarian, but eat a lot of meatless meals. I don't find a vegetarian diet challenging in terms of protein as you can still eat eggs and dairy on top of plant based sources.

    legumes of various forms will be your go-to for protein (specifically: lysine requirements). peas, lentil pasta (processed), seitan, etc. You should fairly easily be able to reach reasonable levels of protein with a little planning if you're not strict on carb intake.
