What I Eat IN A WEEK as A Strong VEGAN // Easy High Protein Meals
Hang out with me for a week to see what I eat and do to maintain my healthy vegan life!
I went Vegan 15 years ago and feel amazing! I've never looked back thanks to the delicious meals I make and proper supplementation.
I love to enjoy healthy, balanced meals with a good amount of protein that helps me build lean muscle and have lots of energy to support my active lifestyle.

Your meals have been so helpful to me on my vegan journey. It has been almost a month since I went plant based! I would love to see a video on how you maintain your vegan lifestyle when you go out to dinner.
That’s amazing. Great to hear. I do show some clips in this one where we get some takeaway, but I honestly don’t eat out much. I usually eat before I go if I don’t know how much vegan stuff will be on the menu so I don’t have to worry about getting something too filling.
Eating out is pretty easy these days. Either pick somewhere you know or have checked the menu of.
But most places offer a vegan option, and if they don’t you can always ask them if they can make anything.
If worst comes to worst then I just wait until I can eat at home or somewhere else, but to be honest that doesn’t happen anymore due to all the options.
Eating out is so much easier than it once was. Some places it’s just asking the right questions when you get the menu. You do find some places cook alot on their vegan food in the same pans and oils they’re cooking meats in so always ask.
Then it’s just finding a few spots near you that you can try all the delicious food! I’ll be doing a night out being a vegan later this month, as I struggled 2 years ago when I first transitioned from pescatarian to Plantbased.
So, I happen to live somewhere there aren’t any vegan restaurants, but have found a few ways to get around that. You can go for pizza and choose all the veggies with no cheese. There’s a place here that does custom nachos, so we get that with beans and veggies with no cheese (they have tofu, but not vegan cheese). Similarly, there’s a burrito or bowl option at another place- also tofu, but no vegan cheese. The closest thing we have to vegan options is a Chinese place that has tofu, eggplant, and cauliflower mains. You have to be very careful about the sauces, but doable. And sometimes I will go for a salad and just order it without meat and dairy but take a little Tupperware of tofu. That’s not ideal since you are still paying for the meat whether or not you eat it, but I don’t expect to get my restaurant choice every time.
I carry a cooler of food with me at all times 😞 I can jigger up a vegan meal at sit-down restaurants, but there’s no such thing as vegan fast food anywhere near me — just junk! And being on a food elimination diet also means no gluten or soy, so it’s freaking impossible. Anyway, if it helps anyone… I carry gluten-free wraps full of hummus, avocado and raw vegs, along with oil-free potato chips and air-popped corn sprinkled with nutritional yeast. I’m now an expert at car-picnics! 😂

Just picked up some of that apple-pear pre-workout! Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the recommendation and code!😋
Do the vitamins have a weird taste? I tried Ritual and did not like the taste at all, I had a hard time getting them down. I also tried Compliment, which were a little better, but still didn’t love.
I enjoyed seeing what you eat in week. A lot of delicious food. 🤤
Thanks!
Love seeing the whole week!! ❤ Thanks Derek!
You introduced me to tofu and tempeh and now they are a yummy staple in my diet. I love your ‘throw together’ style of making meals. Its been great for using up what I have and sometimes I find a great new combo of flavours.
Always get excited to see your videos. I can’t imagine the work that goes into them.we appreciate you! ❤
Thank you!

I love this style of video! I’m always amazed by your creativity in your full day of eating vids and this one is 7 times better. Everything looks so good I really need to try to break out of my week-of-leftovers eating and try Simnetting things up in my kitchen.
“Simnetting things up” in the kitchen — you’ve created a new, fun verb! 🙂
Entertaining as always! Congrats on getting to 700K subscribers, that’s a great milestone! Happy to see you are still growing 🙂 Your meals gave me great ideas for different things to try, thanks for that!

You make such amazingly creative and wonderfully healthy meals, Derek! Remembering the motto, “eat the rainbow” is certainly a good way to have a balanced and beautiful meal. That’s what your meals make me think of.❤. Hello to Crystal, too!
