Been tracking food for a year, and I consistently find that these guys are lacking-- which is weird, because I thought B12 was the tricky one. I know my diet gives unhealthy relationship with food vibes and I eat too much protein powder, but I can't figure out what I'm missing, that most vegans get regularly, to consistently fall short here.

What I ate yesterday (1600cal, 99g protein):

Breakfast: banana, protein pancakes (whole wheat flour + protein powder), pbfit drizzle

Lunch: Giant apple dipped in a serving of protein powder mixed with ground flaxseed and water, plus one Brazil nut.

Dinner: Big salad (mixed greens + bagged iceberg salad for cronch, half cup of kidney beans, tomato, red onion, low fat Italian dressing), peanut butter cup made out frozen of protein powder + dutch processed cocoa powder, and a navel orange.

Snacks: red grapes, kettle corn.

I didn't eat one yesterday, but I often eat sweet potatoes for lunch, and I still fall short on the B vitamins. Wheat Thins and Boca turkey burgers are other staples.

Any suggestions or glaring absences that I am not noticing? I'd rather not supplement if I don't have to. I've been vegan for 10 years, but tracking my food in Cronometer has been pretty eye-opening.

This stuff is so robust and flavorful it makes even the most boring food delicious. 🤤 You only need a tiny bit. I usually use 1/2 teaspoon on a massive amount of virtually anything. It’s so good. I love it with raw, volume veggies like zucchini or shredded carrots or celery or cucumbers.

As someone who transitioned to veganism relatively recently, insta is still filled with low-cal protein recipes using Greek yogurt, egg whites, cottage cheese, etc. anyone know any good vegan influencers that do the same with vegan foods (TVP, tempeh, etc)?

Black fungi, avocado, cucumber, pickled cucumber, pickled carrots, pickled onions, seaweed, fried shallot, chili oil, sesame oil, sesame seed, all over rice.

I was going for deconstructed sushi at first, but just had a lot of pickled veggies yum!

Got a huge load of fresh fruits from my friends fruit trees!!!

Made guava juice and sliced just ripened avocado! Made lightly pickled onions.

Made pickled cucumber, pickled carrots, and chili oil a week or so ago.

Made the kimchi about 2 months ago, she is very tasty, sooooo flavorful just been fermenting.

My dinner after just a protein shake and a few licked of the spoon when making the guava juice today. It was real filling and next time I’ll do a spicy mayo and go more sushi bowl!

450 Calories - Recipe is by Eat with Chrissy: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCXh68vO9hV/

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm looking for a female accountability buddy to help me lose 10 pounds over the next six months or so. My plan is to stick to 1500 - 1800 calories a day. I'm pretty active — I use a Garmin watch to track my activity and I'm currently taking a backbend yoga class through the AloMoves App.

I'd love to connect with someone around late 30's to early 40's, preferably vegan, who has similar goals. We can check in on WhatsApp and Garmin daily or every couple of days to keep each other motivated. I've had an accountability buddy before and it's super great to crush goals together! 💪🌱
