10-Minute Tempeh Sandwich (Naturallie Plant-Based)
Published
The biggest number on the list comes from the least effort: a whole 8-ounce block of tempeh split between two sandwiches, ready in about 10 minutes, for a stated 38 grams of protein and 579 calories each. That makes it the obvious post-gym lunch when cooking is the last thing anyone wants to do.
The calories are honest about where they come from, with avocado and vegan cheese doing the flavor work, so it suits a heavy training day better than a cut. Tempeh's firm, nutty bite also means the filling holds its shape between thick slices of bread.

Jacked-Up Vegan Ribs (FatFree Vegan Kitchen)
Published
Barbecue night that still hits the numbers: a stated 35 grams of protein for just 298 calories per serving of four ribs. The base is vital wheat gluten mixed with mashed young jackfruit that has been simmered in barbecue sauce, which adds bulk and a more rib-like, shreddy texture to the seitan.
It bakes in the oven in a little over an hour, no grill needed, and one batch makes four servings, enough for several training days. The one variable is the barbecue sauce, which moves both the sugar and the final numbers, so pick it with that in mind.

Fitness Lentil Bean Salad (Hurry The Food Up)
Published
Proof that legumes can carry a serious protein target: red lentils and a can of kidney beans, with bell pepper and green onions, give about 34 grams of protein and 551 calories per bowl, per the recipe card, which counts the optional slice of wholegrain bread on the side. Nothing in it needs a specialty store.
It takes about 25 minutes, eats hot or cold, and keeps in the fridge for two to three days, which makes it a natural meal-prep lunch.

Vegan Teriyaki Chicken With Seitan (My Plantiful Cooking)
Published
The leanest way past 30 grams: about 15 minutes in a pan, using either the site's own seitan chicken or 8 ounces of store-bought seitan, for a stated 31 grams of protein and 250 calories per serving.
Those figures cover the teriyaki seitan only. The recipe says to serve it with steamed rice, which adds calories and a few more grams of protein on top, so it can be scaled to a big training day or kept lean. Using store-bought seitan makes it a realistic weeknight dinner rather than a weekend project.

Vegan Stuffed Peppers (Hurry The Food Up)
Published
A good example of combining sources rather than leaning on one: tempeh and quinoa together fill four peppers for two servings, at a stated 30 grams of protein and 615 calories each.
It is the slowest recipe here at around 1 hour 20 minutes, so it works best as a rest-day cook. At over 600 calories a portion it is a full dinner, well suited to a hard training week, with fajita-style spicing that keeps the tempeh from tasting worthy.

Vegan Lentil Bolognese (Hurry The Food Up)
Published
A bolognese built to actually feed a training week: a full cup of cooked brown lentils with wholegrain pasta, plus walnuts and nutritional yeast, split across just two servings, for a stated 26 grams of protein and 530 calories per portion.
It is on the table in about 30 minutes. The page finishes it with nutritional yeast or a vegan parmesan alternative; stick with those, and check the pasta is egg-free, to keep it fully plant-based. Red lentils work in place of brown if that is what is in the pantry.

Asian Tofu Buddha Bowl (Naturallie Plant-Based)
Published
Two kinds of soy do the heavy lifting here: crispy cubes of pressed extra-firm tofu and a scoop of shelled edamame, for a stated 26 grams of protein per bowl. The whole thing comes together in about 30 minutes and makes four servings, so lunches for half the week are covered in one go.
At a stated 625 calories it is the highest-calorie recipe on the list, so it suits a high-volume training day or a big recovery dinner more than a lighter lunch.

Easy Vegan Chilli Sin Carne (Wallflower Kitchen)
Published
The batch-cook pick: red split lentils, kidney beans and frozen soy mince stack three protein sources in one pot, and the six portions freeze well for up to three months. Expect about 25 grams of protein per serving, at 412 calories.
It takes about 40 minutes, mostly simmering, and the soy mince gives it the thick, meaty texture that bean-only chili lacks. Frozen portions mean a high-protein dinner is always one reheat away on a busy training week.

Vegan Tofu Scramble With Toast (Hurry The Food Up)
Published
Breakfast is where vegan protein targets usually slip, and this is the fix: 9 ounces of firm tofu scrambled for two, served on wholegrain toast with hummus, for a stated 23 grams of protein and 367 calories per serving.
It takes about 10 minutes, so it fits before an early session. The toast and hummus are part of the recipe as written, so keep the bread if the number matters.

Easy Homemade Seitan Stir-Fry (Plant-Based RD)
Published
The one to learn if store-bought seitan is pricey or hard to find: the seitan is made from scratch with vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast and a nut or seed butter, then stir-fried with broccoli, red bell pepper and onion in a soy, maple and sesame sauce. The page puts it at about 21 grams of protein per serving, across four servings, in roughly 35 minutes.
That figure is for the stir-fry before any rice or noodles, which the recipe suggests serving alongside, so a full plate climbs from there. No calorie count is given.
