Veeky Forumsizens, as soon as I started going out with my girl I got her into lifting.
She thoroughly enjoys it now but struggles making gains.
She also spends too much money on food when she's out and complains about it.
Has protein powder and has her shakes faithfully but still not much is changing.
The problem is she's vegan.
TL;DR - How can you make a girl stop being vegan? Get creative.
Being vegan is like taking the ultimate redpill, you can't just go back once your mind is opened
If she's not making gains then she needs to eat more, simple as that.
Also don't give me the "veganism is expensive" bullshit it's one of the cheapest diets you can follow
>The problem is she's vegan
no the "problem" is shes biologically female. assuming she isnt a girl (boy) ofcourse. gains come slowly to women, just accept it and let her go her own pace
Im not even vegan, but I hate when people say its expensive. its the same as fatties who claim eating healthy is expensive and site a organic(tm) super lettuce from wholefoods costing £4000
Yes. The ultimate redpill.
The thing is it seems like being vegan would even be cheaper but her protein definitely ends up costing more and she gets less calories for the same amount of food consumed, which is why she struggles with her gains.
Also, she has to get food downtown on her lunch breaks and they are absolute extortionists to vegans, because they know vegans won't eat anything else and if they are there, they are making enough money to pay for it.
Married to a Vegan (we live in Berlin), while not more expensive, you need to invest more time to it.
there are lots of high protein vegan foods, just teach her meal prep so she can take lunch instead of buying overpriced shit
Beans, lentils and tofu are all cheap as fuck. And why can't she bring a lunch with her?
>groace farty vegans
Eat like a horse, live in a barn.
>lentils
Eat that with rice. I go 250g of lentils and 100g of rice,cook them, mix them together. Add salt and vinegar and boil for some more.
It's incredibely yummy.
And lentils with rice are great as they cover all the essential aminoacids and their protein usage is high.
Bought pea protein and rice protein and always go 1:1 for best gains.
Ever since I've become vegan I fart much less than before. And I eat lots of lentils, beans etc.
Just don't be retarded and learn how to prepare them right (which means, put them in the water for a few hours befor cooking)
This is what vegans always bring up but guys understand this once and for all: not all protein is absorbed the same. Of all the protein in beans about 25% can be absorbed, unlike the 95% in eggs for example.
So what i'm trying to explain here is she accommodate that sort of volume of food. And she brings food with her, she plans it out as best as she can but you can't anticipate everything.
I'll give you an example - here in the UK we have what's called 3 pound meal deals - for 3 pounds you pick a main, a snack and a drink. What i get:
-triple chicken sandwich - 42 g of protein 500-600kcal, 2 hard boiled eggs - 12g of protein 100 kcal, innocent protein drink - 8g of protein, about 200 kcal
What she gets:
-two pieces of bread with vegetables in between (no beans, no tofu, no nothing), crisps (chips), some juice, all in all 20g of protein at best, 450 kcal
farting asserts dominance over others anyway. its like op wants his gf to be the beta fag of her workplace
>-two pieces of bread with vegetables in between (no beans, no tofu, no nothing), crisps (chips), some juice, all in all 20g of protein at best, 450 kcal
Yeah, maybe she should start frequenting places where they don't treat vegans like second-class citizens and are not just trying to rob them off.
Her meal costs what, 1 pound at most?
She's retarded for going there.
About the protein absorbtion, that's true, that's why it is good to buy pea and rice protein powders, as I explained in Also would rather avoid eggs if I were you, shit's quite nasty.
youre massively over exaggerating the difference in protein absorption. and the amount of protein needed is exaggerated too she doesnt need 2g/ total kg of body weight.
Cum in her mouth, make her swallow and tell her she's not a vegan anymore.
>not all protein is absorbed the same
ajcn.nutrition.org
wrong again broscientist
Why the fuck do you care what your girlfriend eats? Are you her fucking mom? And why do you automatically assume that your life choices are objectively superior to hers?
You sound like one of those clingy annoying faggots who can't stand their partner having their own personality. Enjoy getting cheated on, because it's coming
>Key Points
>Animal proteins is an important source of protein, however potential health concerns do exist from a diet of protein consumed from primarily animal sources.
>With a proper combination of sources, vegetable proteins may provide similar benefits as protein from animal sources.
Yes the study you posted just further proved my point you idiot, did you even read it?
>gets mad at someone for not reading
>misses the actual study information
Not even that guy but I've reread this study so many times because of tards like you
>Beef is almost as low as wheat.
Didn't expect that. Eggs really are god tier though.
I'm vegan and this "person" fucking disgusts me
I wasn't intruding, user. She's asking me for help so I'm trying to. I see where you're coming from and I've tried not to talk to her about her diet and her exercise, but she always brings it up and asks. Not assuming my life choices are superior, but I know that my diet is superior for the task of building muscle and strength.
>black beans
>literally zero protein utilization
i dont believe this
>How can you make a girl stop being vegan?
You don't. Make her eat foods high in protein, aim for BW*1.4 grams a day.
More beans. Black beans, Kidney beans, you name it. Bonus being you can sniff her stanky farts when she gets gassy.
>The problem is she's vegan.
You might start by convincing her she's really not Vegan.
Does she own/drive a car? If so, then she's really not a proper Vegan. Why? Because cars, even if plug-in electric, are using one fossil fuel or another as their power source (gasoline, diesel, or coal-fired power plants for electric power to recharge them). 'Fossil fuels' are at least in part from ANIMAL sources, therefore Vegans aren't allowed to use them. Furthermore, any vehicle has synthetic rubber parts, and synthetic rubber is made from petroleum -- which is at least in part from ANIMAL sources. Therefore, she has to get rid of her car, or no longer be considered Vegan. Furthermore she can't even RIDE in a car of any sort, and still be a proper Vegan. She can't even own anything made of rubber, for the same reasons. Therefore Veganism is a LIE and she should just give up and eat a proper omnivorous diet like everyone else.
I fuck with vegan food. Tell your girl to hit me up.
of all the retarded arguments i've heard for not being vegan, this is by far the most retarded.
It's not retarded if the logic is sound; petroleum and coal are, in part, from dead animals, and true Vegans aren't allowed to own or use anything from an animal source. Are you claiming any of that is untrue? Or are you just a pseudo-Vegan, in denial of the truth?
>Vegans aren't allowed to own or use anything from an animal source.
what rulebook are you referring to here?
>Are you claiming any of that is untrue?
those who are vegans for ethical reasons (which is just one of several good reasons to be vegan) usually care about reducing animal suffering, not about avoiding all animal products. if you wanna eat some roadkill, go ahead. no harm done.
>Or are you just a pseudo-Vegan, in denial of the truth?
yeah, you're right. i'm gonna go set a kitten on fire, because there are dead animals in the ground, so why not?
>Of all the protein in beans about 25% can be absorbed, unlike the 95% in eggs
Nothing wrong with being a vegan. If she's complaining about food prices, she fell into the Whole Foods meme. Grains and legumes are dirt cheap, as are many of the other dietary staples. Calculate her TDEE first.
"Don't argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Break up with her.
Diet will always be a point of contention for you, as vegans do what they do for a sense of moral superiority. She will continue to try and enforce her diet onto you; it will start as little remarks about the food you're preparing and how much simpler things would be if you just saw the light and stopped eating those poor, cute animals. If you take her as a wife she won't make you steak, or turkey on thanksgiving, or ham on christmas or whatever. She'll make you some shitty vegan knockoff bullcrap and try and pretend like it totally tastes exactly the same!! Just try it!
Don't do it OP. Don't give a single inch to the gains goblins, because once you do, it's all over.
>She thoroughly enjoys it now but struggles making gains.
She struggles because she has less testosterone than you.
>The problem is she's vegan.
The problem is you're dumb
>How can you make a girl stop being vegan?
You bring home a meat lover's 4 cheese pizza, she gets angry and ditches your pathetic incel ass
Alternatively, you bring home falafel wraps and watch Cowspiracy, What the Health and Earthlings with her. Before you know it, you have taken the red pill and there is no going back.
>her protein definitely ends up costing more
Pea and brown rice protein are cheaper than whey from MyProtein when adjusted for pouch size and protein % content
Also, in what world are potatoes, beans, pasta and rice more expensive than meat and cheese?
Lol
That's a girl, not a man.
Do u train at the metro gym?
I know the girl in the pic personally
vegans lie so much about even the most basic shit
Leave it to satan to tell the most blatant lies
I was in your situation too just give her time and if she's invested enough in gains you can slowly push her towards vegetarian then fish after that
who is that
Who knows
