Vegan Meals for People Who Train
No animal food at all. Every one of these pairs two plant proteins, because a single plant source rarely gets a plate where it needs to be.
Tofu and Black Bean Rice Bowl
Two plant proteins in one bowl, which is what it takes to reach a serious protein number without animal food.

Lunch · Dinner
Lentil and Vegetable Bowl
Cheap, filling and high in fibre. Lentils carry both the protein and a large part of the carbohydrate, so the plate stays simple.

Peanut Butter and Banana Toast
Carbohydrate and fat, very little protein, and no cooking. Best an hour or two before you train rather than as a meal on its own.

Breakfast · Pre-Workout
Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry
Fast, and it holds its texture better than most plant plates do. Press the tofu first if you want it to brown rather than steam.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Bowl
Cheap, and it holds together for a week in the fridge. The avocado goes on at the last minute rather than into the batch.

Lentil Pasta Bowl
Lentils and pasta together get the protein up to somewhere a plant plate rarely reaches, without leaning on a powder to do it.

Lentil and Potato Soup
The cheapest plate on this list by a distance, and the one that scales furthest. Freezes in portions without losing anything.

Rice Cakes with Peanut Butter and Banana
Assembled standing up in the kitchen. Light enough to sit through a warm-up, which is the whole point of a pre-training snack.

Pre-Workout · Afternoon Snack
Apple and Almonds
Not really cooking, and not pretending to be. It is on the list because a snack that needs no fridge is the one you will actually have on you.
