If you’re vegan, it’s hard to get enough protein without going over on carbs or even on fat.


To save more room for carbs and fats, include plenty of the following low carb and fat vegan protein sources:

  • Protein powder (pea, rice, hemp)

  • Select brands of vegan protein bars

  • Tofu and other soy products

  • Meat substitutes (popular brands: Boca, Gardein, Tofurky, Beyond Meat, Yves)

  • Seitan


To make hitting your carb target easier, you might consider increasing your carb target and reducing your fat target using the carb/fat slider. Many vegan foods and protein sources are heavier in carbs than fat, so giving yourself more carbs will help you better hit your targets.
