Vegan Meal Plan Ochsner Fitness Center
Eat Fit NOLA
What is a Sports Vegan Meal Plan?
Vegan diets exclude all animal products and by-
products. A healthy vegan diet centers on a variety of plant
foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes,
nuts, seeds, and fortified dairy alternatives.
Many protein packed plant foods are naturally rich in
carbohydrate. The Sports Vegan Meal Plan aims to achieve a
healthy balance of optimal protein levels while moderating
carbohydrates, without ditching the fiber!
This meal plan gears toward individuals looking to:
Lean out and become stronger
Maintain steady energy and focus throughout the day
Remain satisfied and stay fuller longer
Optimize muscle mass and strength gains
All recipes are Eat Fit approved!
Lean Proteins
Heart Smart Fats – 100% Plant-Based
No white, refined carbohydrates
Low in sodium
Less than a teaspoon of added sugar
