No, you don't. You may have a friend who thinks she is a vegan. You may have misunderstood her. But vegans do not eat anything covered in cheese. No meat, no products that originated with animals.

I've never met a fat vegan. I don't know how you get fat on a vegan diet. I believe people have! It would just be difficult to do.

It's really not difficult at all given the recent (awesome!) explosion of great vegan cupcake, cookie, and cake recipes. We have access to the same things that make everyone else gain weight. It only takes excess calories.

You're exactly right in this. I can eat vegan chocolate cake all day, or pudding, or ice cream, or even simple nut butters. Any of the above will quickly kill my calorie goals. I mean, I can eat thousands of calories in peanut butter alone... in one sitting... with a spoon. #NoRegrets

Yeah, that's exactly how I gained my extra pounds. I still eat those things, I just measure my portions now!

I'm planning to make some chocolate peanut butter cups for Halloween -- really looking forward to it!

Ooh... chocolate peanut butter cups. Do you have a recipe to share? I'm totally not going to take your recipe, make it, and eat the whole thing in one sitting. (It's ok... I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm eating in surplus now)

This is the recipe I'm planning to use: http://v-lish.com/recipe/peanut-butter-cups/

I haven't tried it yet, but other things I've tried from that cookbook have been very tasty. And really, how wrong can you go with chocolate and peanut butter? And peanut butter has protein, which we need! ;P

Awesome. I'm going to combine that recipe and this one to induce my peanut butter bulk/coma since it's bulking season.

I used to be vegan and, during those years, I don't think I was overweight (130 pounds, 5'6"), but I was also using a program similar to MFP (FitDay) to monitor my macro and micronutrients.
