This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
3. NO MEMES

I have recently gone mostly vegan due to medical issues and finding things to eat that are to my taste is not the issue. But nobody tells you the ungodly amounts you need to eat to have enough energy. Like... The time you need just to stuff all of that down your throat. And I'm like 2m and 75kg, it's not like I'ma fat by any measure.
Not enough protein? I have never had this issue tbh, if I think it might not be enough to sate me I throw a can of chickpeas in there and that'll do me fine
I find that increasing protein increases satiety, but not available energy.
I mean calories work the same, so if you eat enough carbs you should have enough energy. Are you supplementing B12? Or eat a lot of peanuts or fermented stuff?
Find better foods? Potatoes or foods with more carbs
