I've been experimenting with some vegetarian meals. I've been eating TVP (textured vegetable protein) which is made from soy as a replacement for meat. Taste is prety good!

I haven't done enough research though about the protein gains from it

Pretty much sums up my opinion on the topic...

I really don't know. It's a specialized diet and I am not sure what to eat to get to this level.

You have to eat 10 acres of grass per day... LOL
I guess that they have to eat plenty of soya or something. Still, it's insanely hard to be a vegan...dunno why some people are so much into this.

I just found an answer




Let’s see what a 4000 calorie vegan diet looks like:

Breakfast:


1 cup cereal with 1 cup fortified soymilk
3 slices whole grain bread with 3T sesame Tahini and jam
1.5 cups orange juice


Snack 1:


Basic Shake: 1 banana + ½ cup berries + 1 cup fortified soymilk


Lunch:


2 vegan burgers: 2 buns, 2 veggie patties, lettuce and tomato slices
2 fruits


Snack 2:


1 vegan power bar


Supper:


2 cups noodles or brown rice with 4 cups veggies (including leafy greens like spinach or kale) and ¼ cup cashews and ¼ cup calcium-set tofu stir-fried.


Snack 3


1 cup granola cereal with dried raisins and walnuts and 1 cup fortified soymilk or soy yogourt.

Thanks Babs.

If I was a non meat eater I would probably be eating nuts and vegan burgers like they ran out of style.
