Nutrition a Vegan Diet and Endurance Sports

As I continue on this journey as an endurance athlete and novice vegan I wonder about the nutritional balance in my diet. I also wonder if I am getting enough to replace what I burn in exercise and what I lose to perspiration and other body functions.
In reading Vegetarian Sports Nutrition and other books and websites I have learned much about food nutrient content. I have also learned a few tricks to getting enough calories to maintain a healthy body weight and have sufficient fuel for workouts and work.
The challenges I have had since becoming vegan include:

1. Energy later in day
2. evening-nighttime eating and dietary balance
3. cravings
4. What to eat in the morning
5. Vegan junk food
6. Eating in "regular" restaurants

Now these are not terrible challenges or big problems but they are the things I have been dealing with. The best thing I have done is purchase several vegetarian cookbooks and surfed for vegetarian websites or athletes and food.

I am glad I made this decision and look forward to the future and results of the new diet and lifestyle.
