    Vegan foods with very high kcal-protein ratio

    Do you know some vegan foods that are low in calories and high in proteins? Textured vegetable protein has about 15 grams of protein per 100 kcal, seitan has 20 grams and pulled oats (this is Finnish thing I guess) 13 grams. More foods like this would make cutting a lot easier!

    Faux Meats and Cutting?

    What are your feelings on faux meats and cutting? They help me hit my macros perfectly but it's not exactly clean eating but not sure if they're exactly awful for you... Before I went vegan, I was all chicken breasts, egg whites, sweet potatoes and green beans all the time. My current cut looks...

    DIY protein/health shake?

    Hey y'all, I've been drinking Vega shakes (e.g., the essentials) and while I love them, they're expensive. Do any of you make your own DIY concoctions? What are your recipes and where do you get your ingredients?

    How much walking is too much walking?

    Lately I’ve been walking for 2-2.5 hours because it’s legit the best for mental relaxation. I have a break until my next semester at nursing school, and have gotten addicted to listening to podcasts. 🤣 Today I hit 8.9 miles but usually it’s more like 7-7.5 miles, 6-7 days per week.

    Animal-free whey protein is on the market now!

    You might think "But we can already get protein from plants" But a lot of people really dislike the taste of vegan protein powder and a lot of people still believe that plant protein isn't good enough to optimally build muscle which obviously isn't true, but it eventually will reduce dairy...
