Tips for vegan nutrition while weight lifting? (hexbear.net)

A lot of guides online suggest some hard to get or not widely available foods (idk where to find tempeh and quinoa is a bit expensive, for example). But I'm kinda doing the math in my head and having a hard time meeting protein intake goals (probably about 150g per day at least). I did get a protein supplement and it will help I guess, but im not great at meal planning. For anyone who lifts and is vegan, what do you do?

Soy isolate powder is 90% protein by weight. Powdered peanuts are 50% protein by weight and have minimal fat. Legumes in general are loaded with more protein than meats because fats are roughly 3x as caloric after you account for thermogenesis from carbs.
