You clearly missed the "calorie restriction" part. The idea is to cut on the vegan diet, not put on a bunch of useless fat.

Avacados, nuts, fruits, legumes, etc. Shit, broccoli...

There's no meaningful amount of protein in fruits. The protein in nuts isn't very bioavailable, either.

This is BEYOND facepalm. Are you ****ing kidding me with this shit? Not only is it unreasonable to eat that much broccoli, the protein is hardly muscle-building.

You can get more than enough protein from a vegan diet.

Again, not if you're watching your calories and you don't want to drink the nasty ass shakes all day long.

Protein consumption and a vegan diet is a total myth if you know what you are doing. It's the reeruns who think that you can only eat lettuce that give it a bad name in terms of providing what you need while working out viciously.

It's not a myth. It is just difficult to do, AND no matter what you do, you HAVE to supplement with things that are just not easily found in a vegan diet or you become mineral deficient.

Shit, I'm on my feet no less than eight to 16 hours a day and workout six days a week and I'm putting on weight and muscle on a vegan diet.

I'm not trying to put ON weight.

My typical diet for one day:

2 scoops of The Ultimate Meal + half apple + banana + 1 cup frozen berries
584 cals, 29g protein

1/2 cup quinoa + black beans
498 calories, 24g protein

2 scoops Vega Sport + unsweetened almond milk + tablespoon MCT oil
400 calories, 50g protein

I'm already at 1500 calories, and haven't even gotten to 120g of protein, AND I haven't even added in the caloric value of all the supplements I have to take, like BCAAs, omega-3s, glutamine, creatine, carnosine, carnitine, etc.

That shit adds up quickly.

.......... Christ this is reeruned. Yeah, that Jim Wendler is a real dumbass when he recommends microloading . . .
