    Meal prep is one of the best tools to use when it comes to staying on track with your nutrition. However, if you are following a vegan lifestyle, you need to ensure that your meals contain enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to achieve your goals with optimum health. In this video, I'll break down a delicious high-protein meal prep that hits every vegan's nutritional needs without using supplements.

    How do you feel about mcdougall and the other doc's saying to keep your protein very low for the health of your kidneys? I'm also wfpb but I find when I go low protein I'm fatigued, low energy and not satisfied. I increased my soy intake and actually make seitan. My energy levels are good now. How many grams do you think I need daily? I'm 43 female 5'5. Thanks and love your channel!
    I want to add that I'm somewhat active, if that makes a difference.

      Hey Nellie! Higher protein diets do help you feel stronger, less fatigued, and more satiated. However, as you point out, many vegans associate a high-protein diet with poor health, and for good reason. According to Harvard Medical School, health conditions linked to a high-protein diet include the development of high cholesterol, a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, weight gain, increased cancer risk, and kidney disease. These concerns are valid, but they are specific to a high ANIMAL protein diet, not a high PLANT protein diet.
      Regarding kidney disease, high animal protein intake can have a profound negative influence on normal kidney function by inducing a state called hyperfiltration, which causes a dramatic increase in the workload of the kidneys. Now, this isn’t such a bad thing if it happens occasionally. If you have healthy kidneys, you already have quite a bit of built-in reserve kidney function, which is why you can live with only one kidney. But if you consume animal products, you are constantly forcing your kidneys to call upon their reserves, which taxes your kidneys over time.
      In 1987, researchers first discovered a correlation between those who eat a plant-based diet and better kidney function. They first theorized that this was due to plant-based eaters consuming less protein overall (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3600911/). However, more recent research has proven that your kidneys appear to handle plant protein very differently from animal protein. Within just hours of consuming meat, your kidneys are forced into hyperfiltration mode, whereas consuming an equivalent amount of plant protein causes no observable stress on the kidneys (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9761506/) (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2166857/). In fact, consuming tuna fish can cause your kidney filtration rate to jump up 36.3% within three hours, but consuming an equivalent amount of protein from tofu places zero strain on the kidneys (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2609333/).
      A 2014 study from the Chinese University of Hong Kong analyzed the effects of soy protein versus dairy protein consumption on the kidney function of 270 female subjects with diseased kidneys (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24877660/). The researchers found that the soy protein helped preserve kidney function.
      Why then is plant protein beneficial to kidney function while animal protein is detrimental? Because animal protein causes inflammation. In fact, in a study conducted at the University of Internal Medicine in Italy, researchers found that their subject’s hyperfiltration response to animal protein disappeared when they administered a powerful anti-inflammatory drug along with a meat-based meal (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2316671/). So if you want to have healthy kidneys, you can either follow a vegan diet or take anti-inflammatory drugs every time you eat animal products.
      You can use our plant-based nutrition calculator to determine how much protein you should be consuming on a daily basis: thevegangym.com/calculator
      I hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 💪🌱

      I mean this as not hate but let's be clear, plant protein powder is not natural source of plant protein. Or I guess it depends how you define natural, but I would not consider it natural. That doesn't mean I think there is anything wrong with using protein powder (I use them in similar way myself).

As a vegetarian transitioning I will say the scariest part is getting the recommended amount of protein daily. Never been a calorie counter, yet I've jumped on the protein counting train. Thanks again for the video, and I look forward to going down a rabbit hole on your page.

    This is what I was looking for! You have all three meals covered, and it is consistent and allows you to prepare four days in advance, grocery list, nutritional fact and all! You now need to add other preps to allow variety throughout a month, so at least four of these types of preps to rotate between over a four week period. Also ideal would be a way to choose the calorie/protein levels. But this is an example of one prep, done so far the best I have seen. Good job!

    I have got my grocery list made and going to make this meal prep this week! I'm cutting out some stuff i know I won't be able to find at the grocery store (like dulse and soy curls) but I'll follow this guideline as close as I can and make substitutes. I need to improve my health (lazy junk food vegan of 8 years) and save money, so this is a win-win! I don't burn 2500 calories in a day, so I will cut the breakfast and lunch portions in half and keep dinner the same size, which will put me at maintenance. Thank you so, so much for this meal plan, this is well thought out and explained.

    First of all, tried all the recipes, they are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
    I will make a few tweaks for personal preference, but this is such a good building base for a mealprep!
    My goal is to lose weight, so instead of the full day of eating (for about 2600 kcal a day), I just cut it in half, and then have an extra meal in the evening. The recipes are so amazing, because even if I'm only eating half a serving, I am full, I'm full for a long time, and the afternoon snack craving is absolutely -gone-. The recipes are simple, but so well done! I'll return back to these in the future, for sure!

    2 cups boiled water to 1 package of soy curls allow hydration without having to drain. Just use a big bowl so you can stir properly and voila!
    You can also use broth for a flavor boost

      I wonder if you could use a chicken powder broth (that doesn't have chicken in it) to give the soy curl a chicken flavor. Although it's probably high in sodium and it's a processed food.

    ​​Nicely done, great work. The stirfry looks delicious! I'd recommend adding a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the overnight oats to break down the phytic acid that can lead to some digestive issues and block nutrient absorption. Also, adding white beans to overnight oats is a great way to sneak in extra protein and nutrients if you don’t want to use protein powder. Great northern white beans don't have much of a taste are really nutritious!

    Thanks so much for this man. I've been vegetarian now for 1.5 years but have not been remotely scientific about it at all, and for the most part it's been alright but I do have days where I am a little low energy -- and I'm definitely missing some things when I get lazy about eating volume and variety.
    Nutritional facts about this kind of stuff are hard to come by, it seems like somehow the science behind this stuff is subjective the amount of contradictory information that exists out there. I really do need some help. Living with a few other people I don't have room in the fridge for this much meal prep but I will definitely be trying out these dishes to shore up on some nutrition thanks.

    Great ideas for prep. I'd skip the 12 tbsp of Tamari which would be over 2000mg Na per lunch and perhaps include 1/2 the amount. Skip the banana, which is unnecessary amount of sugar and just use more berries or other low sugar fruit. Skip the arrow root for unnecessary carbs imo. Use fresh tofu or tempeh instead of processed soybean curls. All in all I love this and will be using it as a baseline to cook for the week since I could use the extra time.
