- ONE WEEK HIGH PROTEIN VEGAN MEAL PLAN If you’ve had trouble finding healthy vegan recipes in the past, you’ve come to the right place. I’m definitely no vegan, but I can appreciate the value of incorporating more plant-based foods into our diet. But I hear from a lot of my vegan friends and followers that they have a hard time.
- Following the P90X meal plan can be difficult for vegans to follow, if not impossible. Also very hard if you are eating Raw. Take a look at the raw food pyramid, and then consider the breakdown of the diet for P90X: Phase 1: 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fats. Phase 2: 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fats. Phase 3: 20% protein, 60% carbs, 20% fats.
- Jan 16, 2012 Hy Kati, i would love if you share some new ideas of your vegetarian meal plan. I was going pretty good with P90X diet, but i don't stopped eating meat, almost a vegetarian. Just eat fish out of home, and after this i am not having my diet going well. Sorry for my bad english. I'm brazilian, and yes, i love to check your blog every week.
Dec 02, 2010 P90X is a super program, but at the time it was made, it only had one meal plan. The new P90X2 program actually has several meal plans, one of which is Vegan! It is compatible with the P90X program, and you can order it separately.

I FINISHED!!! – P90X As A Vegan | FitQuest Nutrition
This can seem a bit daunting. 50% protein in phase one?? How can a vegan have a diet of 50% protein? Can a vegan follow the P90X meal plan? Don’t worry. You will not be able to hit 50% on a vegan diet, but you can get pretty close. The biggest thing I would recommend is not to stress about it too much. Like Tony says, do your best, forget the rest! Don’t do like me! I was so obsessed with hitting the ratios that I relied on whey protein powder, cottage cheese, greek yogurt and eggs (yes, this was before I adopted a vegan diet). What did I learn? That much dairy is NOT good for my stomach! I ended up bloated and gassy (sorry!). SO, learn from my mistakes, and don’t stress too much about it. Here are some great sources of protein that can get you in the right direction. And yes, you can, and you WILL see great results by using a vegan meal plan with P90X.
