Protein, Nutrients, and Supplements for a Vegan Diet
*disclaimer: I am NOT a nutritionist! Please do your own research and consult with a trusted Dr. or nutritionist. A vegan diet has some challenges - we're most often asked about protein, but other nutrients can also be challenging in a vegan diet. Vitamin B12 is impossible to get from plant-based sources. Some plant-based…
Resources - List of Member-recommended Vegan Books, Blogs, Webpages, and Docus
Cookbooks Many vegetarian (or even non-vegetarian) cookbooks contain vegan recipes, but I enjoy the following cookbooks. Hoping others will recommend cookbooks they use a lot and I will add them to the list! I have several more, but either haven't used them yet or don't use them a lot.* America's Test Kitchen: The Complete…

Chat room - what's on your mind?
I hope you dont mind but thought it would be nice if we had a chat room where we could post rather than always using the announcement threads that have been started. If you don't care to have this, then please delete this thread - otherwise could we share here please
Two vegan NSVs and one SV

Tofu, garden veggie burgers, and smart bacon ... Yes it helps that I have a high fat percentage for my current body composition. 2. I did not abandon my…
Vegan female on period while trying to lose weight
So basically my period came a day early...at 1:00 am or later since that's when I finally slept, and while I know some ways to keep myself healthy during this critical time, less caffeinated coffee, more iron, light exercise, I was wondering if anyone else had some valuable insights. P.S. - I am 37 and four months away…

Heyy
Hey all! I'm newer to MFP but I've been here for a little bit. I'm a vegetarian, I was vegan for 3 years and than I had to reintroduce animal products due to anemia but now I'm eating vegetarian and am trying to find balanced-iron rich foods!
Stupid Simple
I appreciate the mouth-watering amazing recipe threads. But sometimes - at least for me - my attention is mostly elsewhere. What I need is food I personally find tasty, that's also what I'd call stupid simple. Maybe it's the veg version of getting rotisserie chicken? ;) June is a busy month for me, rowing mornings 4x a…
