Where do you guys buy your protein,and what do you use?

I recently discovered Green Split Peas and had the idea to just blend them into a powder to mix with fruits and use as protein source. Anyone try this?
thanks

When I do tricep pulldown I feel it in my back. Im pretty sure im doing it right. I'v look up multiple videos on how to do it and Ive done it less weight then I normally do to make sure im doing the form right

They're barely a leg workout for me, more like a stretch. My abs do most of the work

A friend is going to throw out a whey based gainer due to bloating, should I replace some of my caloric intake with that as not to waste it? I’ve never tried whey, but I don’t remember having any physical adverse reaction to dairy when I used to consume it.

Update: Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try free cycle, not sure the rule on open food. My simple post was downvoted, so it should be obvious I have no one to give the product to. I guess you are right, vegan principles dictate consumption before landfill.

Has anyone here started their training at this level? After 3 years of weight loss, I am finally within the healthy reference value in terms of abdominal circumference and fisceral fat. But the muscling is almost non-existent. I've been putting off actively doing anything about it for a long time.

I've been doing 1:1 alternate-day fasting for a long time, and I also like to fast for 3 days for autophagy. I've been vegan since the late 90s. :)

The trainer has now sent me to the machines: leg curls, leg extensions, chest press, pulley, rowing train, shoulder press, abdominal trainer, back trainer. I'm supposed to do this 1-2 times a week for a month.

I am grateful for tips and encouragement.

Sorry for my Google-English. xD

Need advice!! Been trying to gain weight and go to the gym consistently for the first time since going vegan. I’ve noticed way more instances stomach upset and diarrhea and I’m not sure if I’m eating wrong.

In an average day I’ll have one or two protein shakes (soy milk and Naked vanilla weight gainer) Usually rice and beans/lentils, couple tortillas, a serving of pasta with red sauce, and usually snack on bread, or granola throughout the day. Also known to drink a soda most days.

Thank you!

Hi! I have a potential brand deal with a vegan creatine company, but I’ve never taken creatine before. The extent of supplements I take are protein powder and vitamins. I have now been reading up on a creatine but have heard mixed reviews. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on creatine, how often you take it, when it’s taken (is it before or after a lift), and some advice or cautions. Sorry if this is a dumb question lol🩷

I go to the gym 4-5 consecutive days per week. I do 1-1.5 hours of weights, free weights and machines,(counting the breaks in-between) and then I immediately go to the CURVE treadmill and I do 15-17 mins of cardio (fast and slow pace intermittent)

My question is for the people who know for a fact. Is that enough cardio? too much? not enough? for reference I am 5 foot 1 and weigh around 120 pounds. Thanks in advance!

This might be a dumb question, but I’m trying to lose weight but also work out and tone and put on muscle. Do I have to focus on cutting calories and dropping the weight first, then bulk up protein and build muscle? Or is there a way to eat high protein without a ton of calories?

My typical diet right now is a protein shake and granola bar in the morning, a salad or (Morningstar) chicken wrap, and then for dinner I’ll have veggies and quinoa or rice and sometimes tofu.

It feels like I can’t add anything without going over my deficit amount but I’m also not hitting my ideal protein intake. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi folks. I apologize for asking about such a stereotypical vegan topic, but since I went vegan 5 years ago, I've found it challenging to increase my protein intake/increase my appetite to standards I see within science-based lifting communities (Jeremy Either, Jeff Nippard, Dr. Mike Israetel, etc.).

I'm 27, 185 lb, and I'm currently eating approx. 100 lb of protein a day. My go-to protein sources are: VEGA protein shakes (it's hard to even drink one per day), VWG seitan, Butler soy curls, and tofu. If it matters, I supplement with B12 and creatine. I've gotten blood work done and there are no abnormal markers besides a slightly low white blood cell count (which I was told isn't a concern).

I've heard different metrics for protein intake: 1g/lb of body weight, 1.2 g/kg, etc. However, I genuinely find it hard to force myself to eat more protein/food in a given day. In y'all's experience, is this standard achievable/normal for a hard gainer with standard free time (I work full time and have other hobbies). Thank you in advance y'all 😭

And beyond. First off I know it depends on how consistent and good peoples diets/ workouts are- but I'm not really finding any weight gain transformation pics starting from a 0 working out / skinny frame start (think ET)

All the pics on google etc are from already pretty muscular guys who then get absolutely shredded, which is cool and all but not what I want to know about. I am basically trying to set expectations and goals for myself as I have seen some conflicting results in photos and don't really know what to expect. I have huge newbie gains myself 1 month in (+10 lbs) and already doing 3x weight. I'm curious when I will plateau out and what more progress might look like going forward.

would be really cool to have comparison photos from people who were super diligent and consistent vs guys who were not so much so I could see the difference between the two.
