so ive been vegan for about 6 months and ive lost quite a lot of weight, aprox 20 lbs. Im about 98lbs right now and im just wondering what i can do to gain more weight and keep it on. If anyone has suggestions please blurt them!
yeah ive alwasy been petite too but you said it perfectly, its ridiculous. and it sucks even more because i get a lot of questions about eating disorders and if i have them or not. i tell them its solely for the animals rights
I've found that drinking plenty of tasty, tasty beer has given me quite the beer belly. If you want to get in on some of that action, check out http://veganbrewer.blogspot.com
There's tons of great vegan beers out there you can buy as is, too. That's part of the fun about micro-brews; the brewers are usually really easy to get on the phone and find out what they use!
See how many calories you're getting from the things you regularly eat. When I first went vegan, I'd sometimes eat a pound of asparagus or broccoli for dinner (which is quite filling), only to find out later that I was eating an extremely small number of calories. NutritionData and CalorieKing are good sites that allow you to check the calorie content of many common (and not so common, sometimes) foods. A rule of thumb is that grains have lots of calories, beans have a fair number but not as many as grains, fruits have fairly few, and vegetables have very few.

Whole grains - whole grain breads, brown rice
I would say that the most important thing may be getting used to eating more often / bigger portions.
