Congratulations on going Vegan! My advice to be your healthiest and lose weight as a side effect is to eat more low fat plant based whole foods. It's still vegan but with the healthiest benefits :wink: I have before after pics. Just look at my profile pic.

I purchased the largest Meal Prep Containers I could find on Amazon, but for salads, I had to go to the Dollar Store and found some larger containers for just a few bucks that are still BPA, Microwave, Freezer and Dishwasher safe! Here's the link for the containers on Amazon. You can choose the 1,2 and 3 Compartment. I got…

Sorry, I haven't been tracking Evenings or Weekends. I started tracking Breakfast and Lunch because I'm entering those meals in advance so I don't forget. I'll try to start tracking all meals so it helps. I always enter my meal preps first to get the calories and percentages of each. Here is what I entered before breakfast…

[/quote] Is that chicken or tofu? I'm newly vegan but everything looks fantastic! Where do you get your recipes? [/quote] Sorry forgot to answer your last question. I just lookup recipes online but modify and simplify them. Even if they are not vegan or low fat, I just substitute the ingredients. These recipes are very…

Grilled and Roasted sound good! Maybe if I whip up a large batch at once I can still save time! For steamed, I just put them in the meal prep container and nuke them.

The first pic is Tofu and the 5th pic is vegan gardein chicken strips! They look and taste like the real thing but I remember when I ate meat it was tougher. I actually prefer these plant based meat alternatives so much more! I don't have to worry about choking on a piece of meat. It was sooo scary when my son got bacon…

Check out my food diary. I added them all there for the week. It's varies between 350-450 calories each. Since they are very low fat, I'm eating more quantity but when I get home I eat about 1,000 calories to get at least 2k per day. My breakfast and lunch is always going to be consistent.

I'm grilling the vegan meat subs for the added protein. I love grilled veggies too but that would add more time to meal prep. So far, the tofu and rice was the easiest to prep having a rice cooker and just popping the tofu in the oven for 30 minutes. The salads took the longest because I had to hand wash, chop up and…

I need more ideas :) I am planning the same base meal with different flavors. So far, I have Pasta Week, Rice Week, Salad Week! What would you like to see next?

The vegan meat crumbles we used are the Lightlife brand with zero fat! Make sure you add Cumin and you won't know the difference! Post your Plant Based Meal pics :) Looking forward to seeing and hearing how it turned out!
-
I haven't tried freezing anything yet. That might be a great solution for making them last more than a week! I'll try freezing one of these meals after and microwaving it after a week and see how one turns out! I only thought of making these last in the fridge for a week and I know using thawed out freezed vegetables turn…

It's very easy to get enough protein as a Vegan Bodybuilder now that there are so many meat substitutes out there. Just search and find Seitan, Gardein, TVP, and Soy products. I don't use any supplements and I have no problem hitting my 100g of Protein Per Day which is plenty for my size! I like my old fashioned oats with…

I party on the weekends and that usually involves vodka + 1/2 soda water + 1/2 pure cranberry juice Anyone want to join me!!!? lol

Well people eat periods, bull balls, intestines and toss salads so it's not too far fetched. lol

It's easy to get calories if you are eating vegan junk food, so I'm assuming you were eating mostly fruits and veggies right? If you want to increase calories the healthy way, add more rice, beans, potatoes, and pastas and if that fills you up to much, then put down some smoothies. I just cooked 2 cups of Quinoa in my rice…

Man, you trying to keep me busy for a while with those links! LOL Even if I tried eliminating fat, I'd fail. Just had a White Chocolate Madadamia Nut Clif Bar. All diets if followed to a T will help you lose or gain weight but I don't trust them anymore. I remember what worked for me before, but it was bad and unhealthy…

I agree with you that people need to know so that they can make healthier decisions. When I hear the word vegan I just don't think of someone healthy because when I go out to eat at a vegan restaurant once a week, I don't see many healthy looking people. They are just not eating meat and dairy but they are still eating all…

Pressed post by mistake...anyway.. Who is debunking this research so I can dive deeper.

I'd really like to see what you look like BecomingBane and your meal plan since you are vegan and promote high protein and high fat. I am not a big bodybuipder but I think I'm fit and following Jon Venus on youtube and he follows a low fat vegan lifestyle. Also, I agree with @PlantBasedKnight. Who is deb

I'm eager to see if the FDA really removes that recommendation and the studies behind it. If anyone has read good studies that clearly state dietary cholesterol does NOT raise blood cholesterol, I'd like to read them. I've read numerous articles and studies now that state dietary cholesterol DOES raise blood cholesterol…

The low fat plant based lifestyle is working for me whether I want to lose or gain weight. I do not have to diet, yo-yo, do portion control and the chances of me getting cancer, diabeties, or heart disease is lower becuz of that. I have family and friends all saying you have to eat animal protein who are very unhealthy.…

I also just slice and dip my bananas in the Peanut Butter Powder and eat it as a snack! It's really good! Just make sure your bananas are ripe (spotty) or it won't be sweet.

Whoa...you gained 25lbs in 2 months from vegan to meat eating? Is that realistic? I'm low fat plant based, at 10% bf and I just started to build again at 170lbs and my goal is to get down to 8% bf and gain 1lb of muscle per week for the next 2 months. I'm not doing anything diff but eating more of what I already eat and…

Well, being that the majority of processed foods in stores contain animal products and they do fortify them with these additional nutrients...I'll give you that much, but the confusion lies there. What I'm saying is that by you just eating animals has very little or nothing to do with you getting your B12, D, Calcium,…
