The Vegan Thread

Something unflavoured I presume? Good tip though.

I normally don't worry about protein on trips shorter than 2 weeks

Hmm, surely the accumulated damage on your legs/muscles has an impact though? I suppose it's not the end of the world if the net result is that you're a bit slower. I don't really have any way to figure out the impact/timescales, I ought to do some reading

Proteinaholic would be a good place to start. I find that eating enough is more important than hitting the macros.

Gotta replenish those calories! Are you into nut butters? Tons of fat, high in protein etc

In Brighton, the biscoff doughnut in Glazed coffee shop has made the trip worth it alone

Oh helllloooo, beautiful!

It's all low intensity if touring properly, I wouldn't worry too much about protein specifically, just keeping fuelled.
I did a multi month tour in the USA vegetarian on tins of beans and peanut butter and honey sandwiches, picking up clif bars and such on the way, and I was fitter than I'd ever been at the end

On Ditchling Road

Free vegan ice cream in St Pancras Station tomorrow:

You shouldn’t worry about getting enough protein. It’s impossible not to get enough protein as long as you are not on a calorie restricted diet.

So in other words, eat whole foods until you are full and you’ll have enough protein.

Red lentils are a good travel food though. They don’t take long to cook and don’t need soaking.

So what @laner said, although apparently combining protein is a myth :)

And yes. I trust everything Dr Greger says.

Blackthorn blossom?

Ah, no, crab apple tree :)

Thank you, I'm not in the UK though!

That place is the beeeest 💕💕💕

Also popped into Brighton Beer Dispensary who had a vegan pop up kitchen that made me this big bao lad

That looks awesome

Just what I don't need--in Chapel Market, too, so much too close to where I live. :)

Co-op’s ‘incredible’ burgers are ace. £2 for 2 patties tho...

Don't suppose you know if they have soya in them?

Yeah I believe they’re soya based.

Cheers.

Found an image for full ingredients:

Is that a real hand?

No, it’s a vegan one.

Anyway. Was looking forward to beans on toast for lunch. Opened the tin... of green lentils.
