Are you gaining or losing weight? Most people will typically lose weight when they first switch to a vegan diet. If you have a huge weight loss, it might be as simple as just eating more. Remember that 1 cup of spinach only has 7 calories. You can eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies and still not be meeting your daily caloric needs. While vegetables do have protein in them, you need to eat a lot if it's your only source of protein. It takes time for your body to adapt but here is no need to be hungry on a vegan diet. I think lunch and dinner have a good mix of your macros. What are your goals with the diet? Lose weight or bulk up? In my smoothes, I will add either flax seed or chia seeds(Forgot to mention this, sorry). I supplement vitamin D because the last time I was at the doctor (a year ago), I was told I was deficient. I drink at least 30 oz of water before each meal, and do have quinoa every now and then. I will try hitting all the macros in my meals..especially breakfast. My biggest issue is usually right after dinner. I stir fry the veggies in olive oil, shouldn't that give me all the macros?

Make sure all meals have protein, carbs and fats. An all fruit smoothie won't stick with you long. If you add avocado or a table spoon or two of canned coconut milk, along with some flavorless protein powder, you have a meal. Same thing with your lunch and dinner. Lentils will provide protein and carbs, as will some of the veggies. Where are the healthy fats? Nuts are a great way to add some filling calories to a meal or snack. I have eaten a plant based diet for 3 years. I cannot get full from only fruits and vegetables. However most of my meals are salads but they are mixed with nuts, quinoa, barley, beans, tempeh and other filling ingredients. If I don't have a good balance of protein, carbs and fats then I'll be hungry. Also, try drinking a large glass of water with your meal to help you feel fuller.

For some reason I have been locked out and had to create a new user name. Anyways, my goal is to get cut. In regard to the first post, I eat things that contain those vitamins. I just didn't list them by mistake. Most protein smoothies have at least a handful of spinach. I have veggies at every meal. Most of the time they are raw. I want to be cut like frank medrano. I have worked out for way too long. I've started eating like my current diet for about a month now. I hate healthy before but had too many cheat days and to much alcohol. Is what I'm doing now going to get me there? Here is what I look like now. I know it's not bad, but I don't have lots of definition.
