  • Honey is an animal product. So no, vegans don't eat honey.

  • 1200 is the absolute minimum number for any diet. Was that number from myfitnesspal's calculations? My starting recommendation (I started out at 180 lbs) was 1400-1600 calories, so I would at least go for that number, if not a bit higher depending on how you feel. 1200 is really not a sustainable number for long-term…

  • I've been a vegan for three years, eating healthy for the most part but eating too much of it, hence the weight loss goal. I cook a lot and like to try out new recipes, with a fair stash of vegan cookbooks and nutrition books (and a ton of vegan recipes on Pinterest).

  • I'm in the same boat of restarting (for the hundredth time). Thanks to the busyness of school, I stopped exercising (and stopped/regained any weight loss progress), but now I've gotten re-motivated. Feel free to add me too!

  • I'm a vegan and generally consider myself to eat pretty clean whole foods on a regular basis. Split peas are the absolute best, that I've discovered, for getting in a lot of protein, fiber, and iron. Quinoa is a complete protein that works really well as a rice substitute or stir-fry with fresh or frozen veggies.…

  • Beans and rice is one of my major staples. Brown rice is healthier and more filling than white rice but it takes a little bit longer to cook. If you have a crockpot, you can cook dried beans over the weekend to make different types of soup or chili. Both dishes are largely unattended and I have never actually ruined a pot…
