I'm not a fan of apps, but I was in kind of a similar situation two weeks ago and asked here (on the last page) about proper vegan food suitable for when you do more endurance type of sports and feel like you lack energy.
Found this summary on the Vegan Runners site helpful - https://microcosm.app/out/Pe9Di..and I actually wanted to do a proper post in here about what good recipes I have found that deliver on the essential amino acid front (and give a lot of energy of course) - didn't get around to writing this up / wading through all the recipes that are available online, but the good news / to answer your question: googling yields really a lot of good stuff, you shouldn't have a problem finding a dozen new things to try!
An old favourite of mine is this quinoa & black bean dish from the Post Punk Kitchen:

If you like some more fancy dishes check out the vegan section of Jamie Oliver's site -

Not quite the same use case but I work as a bike courier so I'm quite active. I'm also quite lazy so like stuff I can make in big batches. For breakfast I have overnight oats, I make enough for 3 or 4 days at a time and leave it in the fridge. I just do oats, plant milk and chia seeds. I used to add protein powder to that when I was exercising a lot. Add some fruit and nut butter to that and it'll give you plenty of energy and keep you full until lunch.
For lunch I normally make 3 or 4 days worth of quinoa and bulgur wheat, with varying spices to keep it interesting. Chuck some lentils/chickpeas, nuts, salad and some sort of dressing (I like tahini with lemon and toasted sesame seeds) and you're good to go.
Then for dinner I'll normally just try and eat as many different vegetables as possible, usually as a stir fry or curry with rice.
I'm not claiming to be super healthy or anything but that works to stop me falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm every day after cycling for 8+ hours!

Does anyone have tips or knows a good app to help with eating vegan in combination with sports.
I'm training more than usual lately and I'm struggling to eat healthy and come up with ideas what to eat every time.
