  • Nuts are not high protein. I don’t know where this idea comes from. There’s protein in nuts, but compared to the amount of calories per gram it’s really not that high. Unless you want to gain weight nuts shouldn’t be your main source of proteins.

    Anyway my point is just that the protein part is important because that’s the part that people need to change their diet for. Everything else people wouldn’t really have any issues going vegan.
















  • I don’t need context to know that eating 3000 calories is doable on a vegan diet. Not everything is about you. I specifically said, multiple times, that the only part I’m arguing is that you said needing a lot of calories is a reason to eat animal products. On its own it just isn’t true at all. You could need 1500 calories or 5000, it would still be possible for a human being to live on a vegan diet. It’s completely irrelevant to why you can’t eat a vegan diet. Like I said already, I’m sure there a reasons why you can’t eat a vegan diet and that’s completely fine, but needing 3000 calories is not a reason to not eat a vegan diet for anyone, including you.

    I don’t know why you want to talk about maintenance calories vs calories to gain weight. It still doesn’t matter what the number is or for what reason you picked the number, you can eat any amount of calories you need on a vegan diet. You yourself probably can’t because of your allergy and other factors, but not because of the caloric content of vegan food. I just don’t know why you think calories are even relevant when talking about whether or not you eat a vegan diet.



  • What? I did none of that? I didn’t distill your entire life based on a single comment. All I’m saying is that high calorie food is not limited to animal products and saying it’s the reason you eat meat is weird. The reason you eat meat is your soy allergy, not any kind of high calorie need. There might be other reasons too, I’m not denying that, you just didn’t give any other, but the first one you mentioned is the calorie amount and that’s just a bullshit reason.
