You are probably getting fewer calories on a vegan diet, depending on what you used to eat. If you're in (too much of) a calorie deficit your riding is going to suffer too as you lose weight. Maybe increase your portion sizes proportionately?
I had the complete opposite experience to you, though it probably doesn't help to hear that. Think my resting heart rate dropped from 80 to 60 in a matter of months, I was flying up hills on my bike

I'm currently having a bit of a vegan/not-so-vegan crisis.
I've pretty much killed off all meat and dairy from my diet since I started living with my girlfriend, she has been vegan for a long time now and I was happy to try and make the change.
The problem: Since the switchover I am never not hungry, always craving more, which leads to me eating an excessive amount of carbs/junk and feel bloated constantly.
Along with this, I am lacking energy on the bike, to the point I can't be bothered riding, as I anticipate it's going to suck.
Do people recommend a protein supplement? Could this be why I'm hungry all the time!?
