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)

    Please don’t buy into the raw food fad. Our digestive system has evolved to eat cooked food, it’s the reason we have such a small gut compared to other apes. We just don’t have the internal equipment to properly digest an entirely raw diet. It takes more calories to digest raw food while cooking makes a lot more energy available for use. If you’re concern about calorie intake definitely stay away from raw food fads.
