High protein means the same to a vegan as a non-vegan:)) too hit levels of protein for bulking and stuff though means you may have to plan a head of time. x

Fry finely minced mushrooms for about 5 minutes then add some minced onion and garlic. Cook until the onions go translucent. Add to mashed chickpeas. If it needs more "binders" add nutritional yeast or breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. Form patties and put in the fridge for half an hour. Fry straight from…

Boiled sweet potato and carrot with a veggie stock cube until soft, transfer to a blender ((only add enough of the liquid to get the required consistency)), with 20-40g of cashews, bit of mustard (optional), tablespoon of nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Blend all until smooth. Add to pasta for a mac and…

silken tofu blended with a touch of plant milk (to get to yhe consistency you like), nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Fry onion and garlic in a pan, add sauce, add frozen peas. Serve with spaghetti. Lots on protein in the tofu and peas, nutritional yeast has added b12 and whatever the plant milk is fortified with. Carbs…

Sorry I was kinda going off my own stats there, I'm 20 years old 5ft7 and do exercise bike, dog walk then weights in the gym everyday. I mostly don't hit 2,000 cals a day, but I'm not afraid to hit it so for me, I don't really see it as a surplus. I'm just saying not to be restrictive with foods - even if you're not vegan.…

I'm a vegan who is trying to lose fat but tone up you get me?? So I eat 2000 cals a day... 1200 is very restrictive to get all your nutrients. Eventually it will just lead to a binge. Just eat until your full ((if it's healthy like pasta dishes / fried rice / salads etc not like crisps and sweets )) don't be scared of…

YESSS!! I get this but how I describe it is like a "popping" or "shooting" up from my wrist to about mid forearm especially when I move my wrist? The first time it happened it was just writing in math class must have been about 14? My wrists also are really weak and painful when pressed so I've never been able to do press…

maybe use the adductor and abductor in the gym?? They work outer and inner thigh❤️ I know you can't direct fat loss but you could assist by working those muscles. x

I don't:// I just log "strength training" under cardio and how long I worked out. x

I normally would use firm tofu to scramble. For silken, I blend it with a touch of oat milk ((any plant / regular milk will do)), salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Then fry red onion and garlic in a pan and then add the sauce mixture, add frozen peas, season, heat and serve with spaghetti / zoodles. x

salad with lettuce, cuc and salmon with maybe some vinegar or mustard dressing?? Then have the slice of bread on the side or toast it and slice up into crutons??

hey! Yeah, no I totally get you. I don't know if dairy is good or bad for you and it doesn't really bother me ((because, like you know, I don't drink it for ethics)). I was just offering another side - which is what this forum is for. I hope we can put this aside because it seems to be running round in circles. x

hahaha that's funny she's a vegan I didn't know;) drink your almond milk then... Oh no babes, that's awful I can't imagine how awful that must have been having a stroke.. i hope you're getting by and keep getting healthier everyday. 🙏🙏 xx

Not myprotein vegan blend!!! The natural vanilla is very sweet and grainy...

Not myprotein vegan blend lol... the natural vanilla is super sweet and grainy...

The journal reported at the top doesn't mention anything about IGF1 and stuff like that, so I was just offering another side to the down sides of dairy:) If I'm comparing peas to oranges, that's fine. I'll just die of a stroke, that's cool

Why can't you just accept that I'm offering another study to look at for other people who are in two minds about consuming dairy? The sources I used are valid to use at university and higher degrees... I don't care if dairy might stop me having a stroke, because like I said, I chose to not consume because of ethics. I'm…

I'm low iron too but not because I don't eat enough but my body doesn't absorb it well. Try not to drink tea of coffee before / immediately after eating and have orange juice / vitamin c during mealtimes:) x

I'm just stating what I found:) im going to remove my quote about it being short from the comment. The length of my report has nothing to do with how much time went into the research and studies that I wrote about. I'm saying I chose not to consume dairy for ethics and this is just some information I found. x

Hey! In the study I spoke about (Greaves et al. 2000), it found that consuming soy protein as opposed to casein protein showed significantly lower levels of plasma lipids and LDL cholesterol. x

I learnt some interesting stuff doing research for university. Bovine milk stimulates IGF1 (Agostoni and Turck, 2011) and excess levels can lead to cancer, most commonly of the breast, and metastasis (Eichhorst and Krammer, 2001). Casein protein - which makes up 82% of the protein content in milk - has been linked to…

A plant-based diet is proven to be very effective for loosing weight and assisting in chronic fatigue syndrome and I know some people personally who it has worked for over SO many other forms of eating ((e.g. Cutting out gluten / cutting out the nightshade group etc)). Also, counting calories or keeping a food diary. I…

I don't really like pizza... would much rather have pasta!

Didn't I say at the bottom of my first post I wasn't slamming Keto, but taking from my own experiences and studies I've done for my university course. Granted, I used the word fortified wrong, and what I meant was that meat eaters would most probably be deficient if cobalt wasn't included in livestock feed... in my eyes…

I'm saying he's misinformed about b12 and how vegans are apparently deficient in everything. Do you know why cheese and eggs have a level of b12? Because they come from the cow / chicken. They have these levels because the animal does... the cheese / eggs themselves do not contain micro organisms that produce b12? And it…

Found one of my articles... so animals cannot make their own b12 however the anaerobic microbes can. These microbes produce b12 in the presence of cobalt. Over the years, due to modern agriculture and farming, the levels of cobalt in the soil have reduced. So livestock like cows are given b12 or cobalt to produce b12. x…

I agree with vegan.. and even vegan Keto if you can keep it up. Exactly, you don't know any meat eaters deficient in b12 as the meat they eat is fortified with it ((as supplements are given to cows - there's just not high levels of it in the soil anymore)). I don't suspect he article I read wasn't well informed and perhaps…

spaghetti bolognese made with minced mushrooms or soy mince ... ol El Paso garlic and paprika taco seasoning on fried peppers, mushrooms, onion and courgette with wraps (high cal) / low calorie taco shells or lettuce wraps (low cal) ... salads with vegetable cakes ... jacket potato with pesto and salad / beans and salad…

Lol a friend it work told me his culinary creation - a beef pot noodle with a tin of tuna added?!? Apparently it's amazing😂

Hey:) most of the population is actually deficient in b12 due to the levels in the soil being low. Cattle and other animals being reared for feed are actually given a b12 supplement due to the fact that there's just not enough of it in the soil anymore. So the b12 you get from consuming animals is actually gained from a…
