Thanks for all the advice

Just to clarify, I'm not particularly image-conscious. I've started to
take weight-lifting more seriously only because I enjoy it, not because
I wanna turn into an ape Increasing protein was because if I'm going
the work I want to get the most out of it, and most things I've read seem
to say you need heaps of protein to do that.

I thought 50% was a little high.. I'll read up on the info you
have me.

As for priorities.. I'm a vegetarian who's slowly moving towards vegan.
I'm not about to go on an animal eating rampage just so I can bulk up - I
just wanted to know if there was a "vegan" way to do it. Pretty much every
vegetarian recipe I can find that has high protein also has high fat and a
whole lot of dairy. Guess it's supplients and a whole lot of soy milk and
soygurt for me...
