Hi Guys! 2021 is FINALLY here and I think it is safe to say that I, along with everyone else is ready for 2020 to be over. The beginning of the New Year for the past few years for me has meant “Veganuary” begins. Each year, there is a large amount of people (it grows each year) that vow to eat only vegan (plant-based) foods for the entire month of January.
While I am not fully vegan the rest of the year, I think it’s nice way to reset after the holidays with lots of veggies and nutrients. I try to implement meals I learn during this time throughout the year as well!
One of the biggest concerns for me for Veganuary is protein. While over the years science has told us that we need a lot less protein than previous thought, I like to weightlift each morning and I see the best results when I have a high protein diet.
After being locked out of the gyms for months in 2020, I am finally starting to see progress and don’t want to lose it during Veganuary. In preparing for Veganuary, I searched the web for high protein, vegan meal plans…because let’s be serious…calculating macros for each ingredient is annoying and time-consuming. While I found a couple meal plans, they all seemed to fall into two categories:
1) Male Bodybuilders with INSANELY high calorie intake or
2) Reasonable calories with not high enough protein for me
I finally succumbed to the annoyance of creating a full day of eating with macros and figured I should put it out into the world in case there is someone like me out there!!
Below is a high protein full day of eating with the macros listed. My recipes are super simple and lucky for me, I don’t mind a lot of repeat meals! However, check back throughout Veganuary, but as I come up with new recipes and discover new full day of eating plans, I will be post them on here!
