Common Questions and Answers about High protein vegan foods
protein
and just tend to steer clear of 'textured vegetable protein' [tvp] (which is really textured soy protein), it really defeats the purpose of choosing soy over wheat/ meat - the manufacturing process is dodgy... maybe a bit is alright... but it's largely a bad deal.
i switched to coconut milk, and i eat a lot of polenta, potato, rice, beans, chickpeas. i have occasional soy sauce cause there's just some things i won't miss out on anymore!
Could anyone advise me which foods to consume more of and which to limit in order to receive maximum results through a vegan lifestyle?
) The week after (that would be this week), I decided to go vegetarian, instead, and eat mostly eggs, soy-based low-carb/high protein foods, and green, leafy vegetables. Like with the previous test, the tiredness after meals has subsided. This time, however, my fat consumption is far lower (for which my non-gallbladder thanks me). Given that, I think I'll be going the high-protein/low-carb route.
But not Atkins.
You can take supplements, however, you would benefit more from the foods you eat. Suggest eating a moderate fat diet to gain weight slowly, protein (amino acids) and eat healthy. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
2. Very low fat, adequate protein, high carb. This is the plant based and even vegan diet that some are promoting. This diet does not have processed foods.
The diet that absolutely does not work is a diet that is high in both carbs and fats.
For me, considering that diabetes is an inability of the body to properly process glucose I choose low carb / ketogenic diet. This diet is fairly easy to follow. No grains, no sugars, no starchy vegetables.
Have you added additional protein sources to your diet with decreasing eggs and cheese? They are protein sources and you need protein replacement. As a vegan you need to combine grains and nuts / seeds for essential protein have to be used daily such as rice and beans, pasta and beans, nuts to oatmeal, peanut butter and bread, and salad and nuts. You can also eat the soy milk and rice milk, too. Vitamin B12 needs to be supplemented if you are a vegan vegetarian.
I am 34 and have always been overweight. I work out, eat a vegan/ vegaterian diet, also I'm active. My heavest was 232, and I currently weigh 198. I am 4wk3days pregnant with my first. I'm worried about gaining weight. I tried so hard to lose what I have lost and I'm still considered obesed. All the preggo pics I see are of a healthy weight female. How will I look as I get thru the trimesters. FYI: I am not dieting, not on any pills and will not put the health of my baby at risk.
As a vegan you need to add protein to your diet. You are consuming plenty of carbohydrates but very little protein, vitamins and minerals. You did not mention if you were taking any supplements. Vegans need vitamin B12 and calcium supplements. Suggest you take a daily multi-vitamin and increase calcium consummation (soy milk, soy cheese, soy yogurt, leafy green vegetables) for stronger bones.
You may be experiencing a blood sugar drop due to the macronutrient balance in your meal. Try increasing the protein and fat, and reducing the carbohydrate foods in your meal. Vegan diets also tend to be low in iron and vitamin B12, and as these are depleted in your body, you may feel weak or dizzy. Vitamin D is also a possible concern if you don't spend enough time in the sun, and a D deficiency can manifest with full-blown neurological symptoms.

You can take care of your body as a vegan; however, you need to be vigilant in eating the combination foods and eating enough food daily so your body gets the protein, and nutrients it needs. As a vegetarian you should be getting all your vitamins and minerals from the foods you ate except Vitamin B12 and maybe Calcium (if you have a history of bone disease in your family).
