omg im a vegan female bodybuilder this thread was made for me
- overnight oats (or oats in general) are a really good source of calories, use the highest calorie vegan milk you can find, this will be either onions or pea milk. plus you can meal prep these the night or two before so it’s really easy to grab. eating carbs in the morning is really important to keep your hunger up
- smoothies are also great for the carbs in the morning, you can add silken tofu to both make it creamy and more calorie dense. frozen avocado pieces are really nice too if you can find them
- tofu + rice for at least one meal of the day, the good thing about tofu is it absorbs all the oil you give it so you can make it as high cal or low cal as you want, plus if you can find an asian sauce you like it’ll absorb all of that too
- stop snacking! it’s so easy to go through your day eating like a bird if you do, actually sit down and focus on eating at least two solid meals a day. eating a good volume is the thing i struggle most with, i put on pump up music and treat it as a challenge
- give yourself reasonable portions. if you’re anything like me you’ve probably been eating half your portion and having the rest as leftovers, don’t do that! it trains your brain to be hypersensitive to your hunger cues and ignore the amount you have, you want to train your brain to do the opposite. give yourself a portion just a little bit more than you think you can finish, and when you’re done go back for seconds if necessary
- obviously penut butter and nuts in general, you could combine this with your skinny foods so you can still eat them and get your calories.
i hope this was helpful anon, if you want to chat or want tips more specific to you, my disc is gigachadultrafag, shoot me a message :) good luck!
