Full Day of Eating - Vegan Plant Based Bulking

This post shows a typical day of eating for me on my current bulking diet. My current diet is plant based and vegan. No meat and no dairy. My meal plan and macros are based off my goals of putting on 1-1.5 pounds a week of mass (mostly lean mass but fat is inevitable). These calculations are based on weekly weigh ins and my macros are adjusted according to the weight I'm gaining.

Vegan Reuben Sandwich Recipe

This Reuben replaces the traditional corned beef with a beet, tempeh, and seitan mix. The "brine" taste gets mimicked by pickling spices and apple cider vinegar. Russian Dressing is a must on any good Reuben and the recipe below makes the perfect dairy free version. It tastes straight up like the sauce on a Big Mac. The final touches of this sandwich are a fresh sour dough bread, high quality sauerkraut, and vegan cheese to bind the sandwich together.
