I love theppk.com, lots of yummy recipes to try. And the cookbooks by them like Veganomicon and Appetite for Reduction are great. Happy Herbivore's cookbooks are also pretty good. Your library might have some vegetarian cookbooks you could check out and try some recipes and find out what all you like.

I don't like high protein meals before an intense workout, makes me nauseated. I prefer a small piece of fruit and a big cup of water before working out, like a small banana or an apple. Then if I need some protein, I have a protein bar or smoothie afterwards for my meal.

I didn't grill it, but I did make some barbecued seitan ribz in the oven last night from The Fat Free Vegan blog. They were pretty good, I think would have been even better on the grill. I also like grilled corn and squash or zucchini. I also recently discovered field roast veggie franfurters, and those were pretty yummy!

Not really a recipe, but I like them as a salad topping.

I second the moving comfort fiona as a great sports bra. I have two of them, and they are wonderful sports bras. I wear a 36DD and these bras really keep me comfortable when working out. When I get some extra $, I plan on ordering some good everyday bras from HerRoom.

Well, start by continuing to track everything you eat and try to make it where your get good numbers for your protein and not too much fat. I would start there. Some good foods that have nutritional value and are rather calorically dense would be nuts, peanut butter, avocado, beans, whole grains. Also make sure you eat…

I like it. I've made the seitan piccata from The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone and it was awesome. I plan on eventually making some seitan from the veganomicon recipe and freezing it for use in recipes so that I don't have to do so much prep work in one day to make a seitan recipe. There's also a seitan barbecue ribz…

Thanks Emily, will check that group out!

I like the clif builder's bar in chocolate mint. And I like the zone perfect perfectly simple cranberry almond. Plus the regular clif bars that I've tried are pretty good. The clif builder's bar will probably keep you feeling full the longest, it has the most protein and calories though so go figure:) The ones I mentioned…

I take a sublingual B12 supplement usually and sporadically I take a rainbow 1 prenatal vitamin from before even though I'm not pregnant now I figure its still good for me on occasion:)

Those look delicious, will definitely be trying them this week, thanks :)

Well, I am also a vegetarian and I get lots of protein from whole grains, tempeh, tofu, beans, lentils, and meat substitute products (I like gardein "chicken" and morningstar sausage and corndogs in particular). I also have a bit of cheese sometimes, and sometimes I eat soy yogurt as well. When I'm pushed for time or…
