I assume when you say "chocolate rice protein" you are also referring to a shake of some sort, but I can't be sure.

I use Nutribiotic rice protein. I experiment a lot, and often the shakes are different. But lately I had the following recipe:

1 large banana (130g)
70g of Nutribiotic vanilla rice protein
40g of sunflower seeds
2-3 tsp of stevia
Water (can sub for soy milk)

Blend it all together in a good blender. Makes 3 portions ~ 175 calories each.

I don't think everything you consume has to be high in nutrition. I think having 2-3 drinks a day like this is not bad at all, considering, of course, that you eat well all the other times (e.g. fruits, veggies, grains, fats, etc...)

How "long" is the long run? And why wouldn't it? I've been eating like this for a few month. I think it's long enough The author claims he eats like that all the time, except for the crazy bulking stages (building muscle mass) that he goes through sometimes. I don't see any issues with such diet. I think it's common sense that if you give your body smaller portions of food (and especially isolated food categories) then it will be easier for your body to process it and extract whatever needed nutrition.

I dunno, it might be silly of me, but I think fish isn't an animal. Thoguh I would like to stop eating it, but I can't afford other sources of protein at the moment. But I will eventually cut it out from my diet. Fish is currently the only contraversial product on my list. Everything else I eat is 100% vegan.
