Thanks.

I pretty much hit the same calorie goals and macros as anybody else would. Personally, I am slightly under maintenance to slightly over, depending on the day.

As a vegetarian (not vegan), my main protein sources are cottage cheese, lentils, tofu, textured vegetable protein (TVP) and whey protein shakes. I don't have any problems hitting my macros (50P/30C/20F) although I have to rely on 2 protein shakes (~100g of protein) a day.

Think I've read it all now. Vegans thinking vegetarians look feminine? Guess stereotyping is not just an omnivore trait. This thread makes me wanna walk over and get a bacon double from Five Guys.

Vegetarian is very easy to get all proper nutrients and protein. For a vegan diet, combine bean/veggie foods with grains to get the full amino protein compounds. I get about 2000-2500 calories on vegetarian days.

Two snacks I find very useful to get some calories and proteins in are nuts (trail mix is great) and edamame. Edamame packs a good amount of protein, fibres and is easy to snack with some tea or coffee after lunch.

Oh yea, didn't think to mention it. Always eating a lot of almonds, cashews, pistachios, peanut butter, etc.
