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…

Ethical Low-Carb Vegan Chocolate
So I occasionally eat vegan chocolate on holidays and during my period for magnesium but I just found out that Hu and Lily's are not ethical companies... Lily's because it's produced by Hershey and Hu because they have slave and child labor. I'm guessing Hershey's is the same. I have the ethical chocolate list now…
Hi
Hi I'm Amanda. I'm vegan and trying to lose weight. I have a bad sweet tooth and a history of Vitamin D deficiency and B12 deficiency. Don't worry; I am taking vegan supplements. I have also struggled with obesity off and on since I was 10 so I am no stranger to dieting and exercise. I am trying to lose in a healthy way…

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…
What did you eat today? Pictures welcome!
I love food and am always looking for inspiration. Hopefully this thread is not too triggering…but I thought it would be nice to share what we actually eat. Breakfast is typically hot oats with berries or fruit and peanut butter. But sometimes I have toasted Ezekiel bread with avocado and scrambled tofu. )I’m German and…
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…
