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.

German Chocolate Cake Oats

Some mornings I wake up really hungry. It's usually after a long training session the day prior and my body wants more and more food to recover. On those mornings, I take my oatmeal and go overboard with it. To add calories and nutrients, I add in items I normally wouldn't. These add ins are still very healthy and good for you, but they tend to be higher in calories and fats than I usually eat. The morning I made these, I spotted a bag on unsweetened coconut flakes and thought... aw yeah, German Chocolate Cake!

Everyday Bulking Oats

This oatmeal recipe is my go-to morning breakfast. I eat a variation of this almost everyday. Sometimes I vary what superfoods I put on top or mix in. Sometimes I use the cacao and sometimes I don't. If I want to be 100% plant based, I do not include Greek Yogurt. Overall, it's a vary adaptable recipe and is a great way to pack in a big number of nutrient dense calories to start your day of bulking.

Quick Blueberry Oatmeal Bowl

Berries are nutrient dense, hydrating, and have lower carb numbers by volume than just oats. My favorite berry to cook into oats is the blueberry. Blueberries add a lot of juicy goodness to your oatmeal bowl and cook very easily. Next time you cook oats, throw in some blueberries for a nutrition boost.
