To those of you who work out, how do you meet high protein requirements as a vegan? Do you supplement with protein powder? Track macros?

I don’t think I get the optimal amount of protein by body weight from natural sources alone and it’s not a topic I know much about.

Feel free to share your favorite recipes and tips for increasing protein intake.

    I can assure you, this isn’t true. I eat a vegan diet, generally pretty healthy, but I play two or more soccer games per week, Tuesday rolls along and I’m basically ravenous but in that, “I’m lacking some nutrient” sort of way. I’ve figures out over time that I just need a little extra protein that day. Sometimes a sports drink mix with sodium, potassium, magnesium et al.
