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.
A good protein supplement is very helpful. Some people argue it’s not necessary but I think that may be technically correct but you’re not going to progress the same way. I’ve been able to get by without it, but that’s been when I’m bulking, with a high TDEE, and as an omnivore eating a lot of dairy. 3800cal with 140g protein wasn’t hard :) Now I’m cutting and need 160g protein at 2400cal. My expenditure swings a lot!
