Is anyone on here vegetarian/vegan? After being vegetarian for nine months I've now taken the vegan plunge, is anyone else out there vege/vegan? I need lots of help and advice as I know very little about the vegan life!

    I'm vegan!!!!
    I was vegetarian for a few years..... since September 2011 I think. Anyway the past probably year I've been transitioning, eating less and less byproducts. And now vegan! :)
    I honestly love it.
    Any questions, feel free to ask! :D

    I'm a vegan, if you'd like a friend! I went vegetarian in May of 2014, and took the vegan plunge this past March, so I'm on the same page as you. :smiley:

    I've been vegetarian for about 18 years, and finally went vegan at the beginning of 2015. My diet is far from perfect, but I generally hit all my nutrient targets (though I use the CDC protein minimum target of 0.8g per kg of body weight, rather than the general 20% recommendation from MFP). Feel free to add me; my diary is open to friends.

    I can't tell if you are trolling or just don't understand the numbers. 500g of protein is 2000 calories' worth and no one would recommend anything near that much protein. 1000 calories total is too low for anyone, especially a male. If you are sincere (I really can't tell), I recommend you start reading the stickies and learn how MFP works.

    If you are trolling, my recommendation would be far less polite.

    I've been a vegetarian for about 10 years now but my diet is *kitten* which explains why I am overweight. I would love to go vegan. Good luck!
