Not buff, no.

Scientific consensus is that you must ingest a certain amount of protein to build muscles. Depends on your body, but let's say it's 120g a day.

Give me an example of 120g vegan protein.

And that's not counting the biological value and the amino acid profile.

Seem to remember legumes having a rather large amount of protein in them, which is why you keep them as part of your survival kit.

Complete and incomplete proteins. Nothing is easier to convert than denatured (heated) animal proteins.

Seriously? Just eating lentils, for example, has all the protein that anyone needs in a daily intake. http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/protein-in-lentils.php

Who eats raw lentils?

I see in the USDA that boiled lentils have 9g of protein per 100g.

So what do you do? You eat 1 kilo of lentils every day? Good luck with that.

u/Mashiki

But my question is, are you physically able to ingest enough protein from vegan sources? And if yes, can you do that comfortably?

Let's do another test: can you hit 1200 cal with only one vegan meal? If yes please tell me how.

Non-vegan I can get eat 700g of lasagne, boom that's 1200 calories.

Do you even lift bro? 2KG of lentils minum.

Anyone that eats less than 10 cups of lentils a day is a weak steak and potato eating bitch.

Cal's are one thing, sources are another. As for 1200 from one vegan meal? Probably, the question is the 'defining' point for vegan, because some consider milk and eggs to be perfectly fine. If you add that into the mix, then it becomes easy.

Legumes also include the required amino acid profile for it. I'll stick with my meat heavy diet though.

Lol no, vegan by definition means no eggs and no diary

I've asked the question of getting 1000+ cal in a vegan meal already, but can't get any answers.

Beans and rice (or wheat) are all you need as far as protein goes. Your body can create anything it needs from that. This is why grains and legumes are the staples of diets around the world.

Not that this stops me from eating steak and chicken, but it's definitely possible.

If you're broke, beans and rice is a good way to keep well fed without a ton of cost.

Also, it's possible to eat vegan without touching soy. I did it for 6 months (was developing prediabetes and it helped me get that under control) and never ate any soy other than the occasional soy sauce in a stir fry. Fermented soy is fine. It's the tofu that will fuck you up.

Milk and eggs definitely not vegan. Acceptable for some vegetarians, maybe (but then again, so is fish for some).

Milk and egg eaters are vegetarians, not vegan. Vegans, by definition, do not eat animal products. Most won't even eat honey. They are fanatics
