So I’m a division one athlete with a need for protein I eat plant based protein and supplement with one protein shake a day. Outside of a plant base proteins I use non-fat Greek yogurt to add easy protein to my meals. I am wondering what I can swap out that has a similar tangy flavor but still has that high protein content. And also looking for just tips that can make my transition easier because I want to be a well fueled vegan athlete. I don’t drink milk or eat cheese so it’s truthfully just the Greek yogurt and egg white that has me in a chokehold.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share an exciting opportunity that has come my way.

As a vegan for 8 years, my plant-based diet has been a driving force behind my athletic achievements in high school, college, and beyond. Winning this contest would allow me to spread awareness about the benefits of a vegan diet for nutrition and fitness. If chosen, I would have the chance to be featured in a magazine and discuss topics related to nutrition and fitness. Additionally, I would love to use this platform to share how going vegan has positively impacted my energy levels, muscle building, and overall well-being.

Hello!

I am studying to be a dietitian in Hungary and I am writing my thesis. My questionnaire is about the dietary supplement usage habits of vegan strength athletes. I would be happy if you could fill it out. It would help a lot.

I've been doing calisthenics for a few months (following Calisthenics Movement and just starting phase 3 of the beginner program) and I've been stuck on 3 pull ups since I started. Has anyone else been stuck on the same number for a long time, even with variants?

Howdy! This forum seems a little dead but maybe someone will stumble onto this thread and have the answer!

I need a protein bar. I’ve been looking for a recipe but most seem geared towards the carbs/energy thing versus protein. The whole house is vegan but I’m the only one with extra protein needs so I’m trying to keep the family meals “normal” and pack extra protein into snacks. I’m a fucking stoner and a “treat” type snack that is also full of protein would be excellent. 😂

So even if you just have some guidance on how to keep a bar together, lay it on me. Maybe I’ll come up with a sweet recipe to share. 👍 Thanks in advance!

We might all have mixed views on whether protein powders are good or bad for us. So, for those who avoid them, here's a list of natural plant protein sources that work really well in post-workout smoothies/shakes. I'm sure many of you already know this stuff, but for those that are new to being vegan this could help :)

Hey guys,

I'm looking to see what kind of experiences you've had buying PB/Vegan supplements and ingredients online. I'm in a small town that doesn't have a lot of options so seeing what I can do on the web. Specifically, I'm looking for things like protein powders, vital wheat gluten, quinoa etc. I'm just getting the vegan train atm so any help is appreciated!

HI, I'm a nutrition student at NYU, working on my final research project, which is a study of diet preferences, health and well-being among athletes, ages 19-60. Recreational and competitive athletes -- anyone who exercises at least 300 minutes a week -- may participate in this 10 minute survey. It is completely anonymous, and can be done on a computer or mobile phone. The link is posted above, for anyone who is interested! The survey runs thru April 12th:

Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if any vegans interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ only) about your personal views surrounding your dietary lifestyle choices.

https://kentpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Ku4sTRSxSv8RZH

The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete, and we're happy to answer any queries or questions you may have.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thanks very much for your time, we'll be sure to post any results here when they're ready!

Hello,

I'm a vegan for 3 years now and I want to start working-out to lose some weight. But loosing weight starts at the kitchen. So I'm a very healthy vegan. I eat a lot of vegegables less to no sugar depends on the day. Low fat because I feel bad after eating too much fat and very low amounts of salt. So I maybe need a good app where I can see if my diet is healthy or a tip where I can see if I'm eating healthy. I'm also taking B12 supplements. I know that you can get B12 as a vegan, it is just that the common products that are known for having B12 aren't tasting that good to me. I'm looking forward to get some advice here.

Check out this podcast, it's very informative, so many interesting topics. The radio stations play the same songs over and over, it's like they only have 50 songs to play, so I switched to listening to podcasts while I'm commuting instead, and this is one of my staples, one the staples in my diet, so to speak. It's one of the ways I keep on top of new science and studies etc.:

Former vegan here who started eating meat again once I began working out more. I now do P90X3 and follow a lean nutrition plan created by this company. I know that vegans can get enough protein for an active lifestyle. I am open to returning to eating vegetarian or vegan, but I also want to have a healthy, lean diet and it seems that high-protein suggestions for veganism often have higher carbs, fat, or sugar. Any advice or resources? I am sure it is possible; I just am not sure where to start

An interesting podcast mentioning a few typical 'Bro Science' things guys say. So many guys say the most ignorant stuff when talking about diet, especially when they're talking about working out or athletic performance -- it usually makes me roll my eyes, but how can you talk to guys like that who are so seemingly invested in their own BS?

If you haven't already heard of this podcast, it's probably one of the top vegan athlete podcasts. I highly recommend it. Not only does Rich have some of the top vegan athletes on his podcast, he also has some of the most interesting guests. He basically interviews people and discusses topics which interest him, so one show may be about nutrition, another longevity, and yet another about meditation. He, himself never really started on his health and wellness journey until much later in live; sometime in his 40s, so it's never too late to get started yourself.

Since 1990 for me. So over 30 years as of this post.

There were a few times after that where I ate some non-vegan food at a particular meal because there were no options for me and I was very hungry, but eventually I put my foot down and said that I wouldn't compromise ever again, even if it meant I went hungry till I got home -- not such a big deal to wait another few hours (but I was SO hungry sometimes). So, I became steadfast since that mindset. I quickly learnt to take food along with me; I even took food with me to restaurants where all my friends and I were hanging out, well... there was literally nothing on the menu for me, and the restaurant was making money from my friends, so... gotta do what ya gotta do.

​

I know, it's one of those questions we all get asked, but I also find it quite interesting. I am meeting more people who have been vegan their whole lives, so cool!

I recently got back into running, having done a lot of running in the past, I've never had this problem before. After about a month or so, I pulled/strained one of my calf muscles. Well, I knew from experience with other parts of my body, that a pulled muscle would take a good month to heal, and took it easy for the next month, then eased back into it again, and everything felt good, then a few weeks of running later, strained it again! From the beginning, since I've been of getting back into running, I've been doing massage and stretching every day, I do an hour of stretching and warm-up exercises before running... after recovering from this, and thinking I've completely healed, apparently I guess I wasn't, deep down in the muscle, I suppose... do don't know. Maybe my calves have become weak for running (always do plenty of hiking, walking, cycling, and other things over the years). Any advice for healing/recovery/prevention?

I sought out this group with a quick search for vegan athletes, and found the description to be right what I’m looking for with improving performance.

I’m checking to see if anyone else is active here. I recently started an almost completely plant based diet and wanted to evaluate over 2 months how it would affect performance and body composition. Before I get too far into details I figured I’d just check in.

One question that came up in a dream last night: how much beans do you eat a day and what kinds? I don’t know the best amount, just the understanding they are good. Currently I’m eating the following: 1/2c soy beans 1/2c black beans 1/2c lentils 1/2c garbanzo beans And another 1/2c of a few of those blended together. All of that is within 4 of my 7 meals I eat daily.
