EDIT: Nevermind. I found the homecooks community here. Plenty of good eating to be had there. I should have explored around before I posted here. That and the vegan cheat sheet in the side bar pretty much answers my questions. I’ll keep this post up just in case other newbies come here. (unless mod wants to delete)

Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question.

I plan on doing my research too, but thought I’d ask here since I just signed up.

I’m new to vegan lifestyle. Was meat eater most of my life, until turning vegetarian 6 months ago.

Now going full vegan. I’ll eventually go to raw vegan, but that’s gonna take some more planning, so I’m baby-stepping.

Anyone have a go-to meal for workout days?

I’m naturally skinny, so getting enough calories to grow is a bit of a pain. Back in my meat days, it was pretty easy.

Now I’m having a harder time. I have Huel-brand Vegan options, so I’ve been working with that. And it works, but just wondering if you guys had any fun ideas.

And if you fuckers permaban me on my first day for asking this, Imma be pissed! (kidding! Ok, not really)

    I think some of the more fitness involved members are more active on the discord ( https://discord.gg/muuz7C6ZKx ) than on here.

    You’re going to have a bad time getting enough calories as a raw vegan, and I’ll stop myself from commenting on others food preferences there.

    Back when I was fit and in denial about gluten intolerance I ate so much seitan. Rice and beans are still a staple, and oats + hemp hearts + chia seeds + flax + dried fruit can be a really awesome breakfast.

    Look, I used to live off vegan meal replacement because I was in a really bad place in life but you can make much better smoothies at home from basic ingredients. Peanut powder does wonders for texture in a high power blender. Cram it full of nuts and let 'er rip.
