Any one got any good vegetarian meals high in protein tasty ones?
 
not that im veggie or nothing lol just be interesting to see what veggie bb's eat... and also makes a change from the normal crap i eat on a daily basis...
 
Kidney beans bro. Fibre + protein.
 
Garbanzo beans(chick peas)
 
nice im gonna have to start incorperating more beans and stuff into my diet... just trying to switch up the diet really, interested in the vegetarians approach to bodybuilding!
 
Boca burgers are pretty good and high protein. You can even make your own patties

hmmm never heard of a boca burger? do they taste like normal burgers lol
 
Muscle Gelz Transdermals
IronMag Labs Prohormones
Lacto ovo vegetarians have more options than a vegan. You can do a lot with dairy and eggs.

good man, i could never give up my love for chicken steaks and beef ect but i do want to start eating more vegetarian type bb'ing meals especially when im cutting i dont know much about the veggie bb'ing diet but can imagine the calories are not as high per meal as a big slab of meat lol.... so could come in handy especially for cutting plus its just something different to try!

I do a lot of chilli con carn using lean pork or chkn mince, but loaded in black beans, kidney beans, lentils and chickpeas. Tastes good man!

nice you will have to hook me up with a recipie and ill try it out!
 
Garbanzo beans(chick peas)

This!

Chick peas are the vegetarian lifters best friend. You can put two cans of chick peas in a container with some Tony's creole seasoning, and snake on them for hours. two cans are worth about 30-35g of protein plus all of the complex carbs you need. I eat them for breakfast and as a snake at work.

Lentils are packed with protein but I think they taste like shit. Spinach is a great source of protein and I love mixing it with eggplant.

Is that cooked and or in a salad??

Eggplant cut into then round slices with spinach, mushrooms, and salt. Broil on hi for about 20 minutes.

You are right abotu cals IF you dont knwo how to eat.
FATS play a big part. alot of "veggie's" think they are better then meat eaters and healthier/better off. NOT TRUE!, not based soly on the fact you dont eat meat anyway.

I have met more unhealthy then healthy veggies around the city here, but thats because alot make the life choice due to morals, yet then dont put the effort to research the diet.

I beleive I AM better off then a meat eater in the same IQ level as me, but thats with hard work.

What get to me is the heard headed vegetarians that wont listin when i tell them they need to add b-12 to diet. if only 2 things it would be that and vitd. but then some will go on and on about this and that. sorry to say but b-12 is a must if you dotn eat meat, also 2-3g creatine ed in my op (meat has this in it, but most dont think about it)

anyway enough with my rant, some tips:
 
smoothy for bulk:
*blend up in blender and fill with milk or water*
1 banana
1 hand full frozen berries
3-4 tbs peanutbutter (or 2-3oz oliv or grape seed oil) *thats 300-400cal JUST HERE
25-50g oatmeal (raw steel cut is fine it will blend)
100g whey protein or another protein powder.

= 2 serving at well over 600cal each


ill post more in here and keep it going, alot of stuff i make on my own, no SET thing. i cook ALOT, my GF loves it, but im cooking 90% of the time for us both. (she will eat fish odd times but also a non-meat eater)

sounds pretty dam good bro have you some rep points!


and in all for that calorie dense food its coming into winter this is gonna be the biggest dirtiest bulk ive ever attempted in my 3 years of lifting good by six pack hello size!
 
Ha thanks, I plan to add more to this thread, maybe I can grow it up nice and big with calorie dense food and veggie foods.

SO damn busy this week though, but over this month i hope what I add helps out some members here with diet or even bulkign ideas.
I am a food nut (food is a love of mine), and am always the "cook" but I never really follow cook books much, so its odd for me to brake it down since i go by skill/flow/knowhow when cooking and 99% of the time its awesome (im told anyway and i taste it so i agree ;) ) the odd fuk up her and there, but thats like couple times a year so no biggie.

I am happy I am not being attacked for being a veggie, I avoid mentioning it too much on the bbing forums because... well thats prob the last place most expect a veggie to be.... other then the butcher shop lol

but hey Im growing so I am doing something right! :-)

Keep an eye out for more food ideas comming soon when I have more time (work pc ;-) )

good man keep the recipies and good ideas flowin!


i could never give up my love of chicken beef ect but its always nice to approach diet from a totally different angle then im used to! im all for it!
 
I guess it depends upon how much protein per serving you are looking for. I drink whey to get most of mine. I also found a boca type burger that has 20 gms per serving plus i count the protein in the bun and the cheese and come in a 30/30 with carbs and proteins so that is good. If you want to supplement and avoid adding dairy you can buy rice protein from the vitamin shoppe and it had 12 gms per tablespoon. Add that to almond milk and you can substitute a good portion of your protein.

For you curious types. I just passed one year as a veggie lover and have had zero losses in muscle and strength, my recovery time is shorter, my energy levels are higher and cholesterol and triglycerides are all within normal ranges now. They were through the roof but diet, minimal exercise and zero meds have made me a believer!!

Two favorite recipes. Not high in protein but still delicious. Just add your protein into other "snacks" and it will be easier.

Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars



Makes 9 servings .
Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts [or any nuts you like]
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (any you like ? raisins, cranberries, dates, figs)
  • 1/4 cup seeds (any you like ? sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1.25 cups skim milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla




Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350*
  2. Mix dry ingredients.
  3. Mix wet ingredients.
  4. Pour wet into dry. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour into a 9?9 baking dish either coated in cooking spray or lined with parchment.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Cut into 9 squares.
Each bar is appx. 170 calories, 3 grams fiber and 5 grams protein. [Cut into 12 squares reduces calories to about 125 calories per square]
While delicious, the only sweetness in these comes from the dried fruit. Add in 1/4 ? 1/2 cup brown sugar if you like.

1/2 avocado, pitted and mashed

i used to do that now i get a good 200grams from my food easily..
 
Rice plus beans = a complete protein. By themselves they are incomplete, meaning that they lack certain amino acids which constitute whole proteins. But they each have the aminos that the other one lacks so together they form a complete protein.

Another case of this is peanut butter and bread. Not really an ideal meal here, but it is a complete source of vegetarian protein. Im sure that there are other combos too.
