I pretty much feel the same way. I know I eat healthy food and as long as I'm a.) not eating animal products and b.) not hungry then I'm c.) a happy vegan!
I used to stress about getting my 0.45 grams of protien per pound of body weight and I even bought supplements like spirutien, until I realized that my health has not suffered since eating less protein, but has increased.
Recently at work I had to tote a 100lb bundle of shingles some 15-16 feet onto the roof. (I'm a roofer btw) We normally have a conveyer to send them up but we only needed like 3 bundles so our only option was to tote them on our shoulders straight up the ladder. Well, I really didn't want to but my brother told me to do it and he's always telling me I need more protein, need to work out, etc. So, just to prove him and all others that hold his misconception wrong I went on and did it, and honestly I don't want to ever do it again, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Anyways, point is, if I can do that I must be eating pretty damn well! I'm skinny and people make comments about my weight all the time and tell me "you need to eat more", etc. But I do eat all the time! I've actually been trying to gain weight just to get said people to leave me alone. Seriously it's been getting on my nerves a lot lately to hear that and I don't know how to respond to it so I've been trying to ingore it rather than loosing my temper. I would love to hear a clever response
