Vegetarian Keto

Hello all, I am wondering if there are any vegetarian Keto dieters out there? If so, how do you get your protein. I am eating tofu and eggs as the primary, cheeses as secondary, but struggle to get even close to the suggested protein level. 

Any suggestions?

    claybear44d0b3  There was two people that posted about being vegan. Use the search bar and type vegan and you should find them. We probably have a 5% vegan following on ketogenic. It can be difficult only if your not okay with eating the same things every day and can’t get creative. It’s imperative you get the right macros.  You may find you will be eating a lot of eggs, find creative ways I guess so you don’t tire of them.  Almond milk? I thought that was low carb and stock full of protein ?good luck, I can’t live without meat. My hair would fall out.

  • badmojomn claybear44d0b3   I’m Keto vegan and I have a good supply of fats and proteins. I try to get creative. No need for animal products 😋 I have successfully done Keto vegan for the most part of a year. I like to meal plan so I’m good with eating similar things for the week but I like to change it around. Say my main lunch protein is tofu, I’ll change around the sides.  My go to proteins are: tofu (of course), low carb seitan, vegan protein powder, ripple pea milk, almond milk yogurt, nuts, edamame, hemp hearts, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, pepitas, anything I can find that has high protein but low carb. my macros are 23g net carbs, 140g fat, 110g protein. I hit my goals every day. The most important aspect is the PLAN your meals. I create shopping list with appropriate foods, but each night I add my foods to this app and ensure I have balanced out my macros. That way there is no guesswork. Yeah things might change here and there but you have a base to work from.   Hope this helps.

    trishidish there is a few vegans searching for support here I think. You would be an asset to them if they are just starting out.

  • trishidish so how was your weight loss timetable? I’m vegan keto, 4 weeks in. 2 lbs down, 15 more to go, I’m in ketosis. I know I shouldn’t weigh myself, but surely I will get to fat burning soon.

    Hi. I’m mostly vegetarian. So far I have been mostly eating eggs and tofu. I’m pretty new to the whole keto thing, so I can’t answer too many questions from a keto point-of-view. It seems a lot of vegetarian and vegan sources tend toward carbs. I’m sorting it out right now too.
