Plant Based Diet

[Martinichic 39]

I am 9 months out and still cannot really eat meat as it does not agree with me ,which is fine with me either way .So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what is the best plant based Protein that they have tried or know of someone that has ?Any any other ideas of recipes or Snacks that would be helpful to keep up my protein.I do go to the gym everyday as well and have notice I have lost a lot of muscle mass but am toning well .TIA and have a wonderful day:) Starting weight 256 down to 146.

I'm the opposite. lol! I can mostly eat chicken and Pork, very little else. I will be crap at suggestions. But we have some dedicated Vegans here who I'm sure can give you an array of suggestions!

Seconding @Creekimp13, we plant based folks are always there in the vegan/vegetarian thread. As for losing muscle mass, hmm?? I’m gaining muscle mass. I’m about 9 months post as well. Check out the recipe thread for some good stuff too.

Want a salty crunchy snack: roasted Broad Beans. Low fat popcorn.

As for Protein, I don’t count it, but I do eat a lot of grains, legumes, and veggies. Doc hasn’t had an issue with me not getting enough. So, I can’t help ya in that arena, but I do know these foods all have protein.

Best I’ve had! Very healthy full of vitamins/nutrients. I even mix it with Orgain. 1 scoop of each is 30 grams of Protein & 60 more calories with 2 cups of almond milk. They both come in different flavors.
