High Protein Vegan Foods
I'm looking to add as much high protein foods as possible to my diet. I really want to put on weight in a good way with strength training, and I know I need to eat more protein to do so.

Small Woman, Wanting To Start Strength Training

New To MyFitnessPal! Looking for friends!
Hello all! My name is Candace. I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I switched over here because I've seen that people seem to be more supporting and encouraging and interactive with others, so I thought it would be a good place to help me stay on track. I've been vegan for the past 3 1/2 years. I'm a mother to three little boys (8,…
