    @notaperfectchristian Stomach crunches for 10 minutes after every step aerobics class in the 90s . Don’t think it did anything 😭

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @autonomicrake Yes! I started using Mio , which has fake sugar and fake flavorings , to drink more water. Ridiculous fear mongering!

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @max2011 I actually sort of believed the eating low of calories would break your metabolism myth. Seems like that is not true 😂

    Dr. Gregor says not to consume over 25 grams of soy protein per day. What are your thoughts?

    @mannygee HRT improved my life. Greger also scare mongers about creatine. Will take this info as a grain of salt until more doctors warn about soy overconsumption!

    I’m so burned out of calorie counting. Has anyone had success with taking a break?

    @slant Not an expert. But maybe try eating consistent eating patterns with similar calorie amounts not exact for each mail? Let say dinner is usually protein of certain weight w veggie and carb or maybe stew (with similar calorie amounts). Even when I calorie count, I sort of eyeball it, to...

    Petite girls is it true our calorie deficits are smaller?

    @anxious Agreed. I used to think I had to do 1200 calories, a coach got me to slowly increase my maintenance to 1800 calories and now losing weight very slowly at 1400 calories, also eating at maintenance and tracking calories and weight daily gives a better idea of maintenance than using...

    How much protein is enough to loose fat but gain muscle about? 5’3 129.4 LBS 21 F

    @ihavenoname Check out veganmacros101 on instagram. She will have a recipe app soon but her seitan recipe is great! She has lots of lower calorie high protein recipes on her IG and an ebook cookbook! Seitan or tofu with potatoes and veggies is a great basic and filling meal.

    How much protein is enough to loose fat but gain muscle about? 5’3 129.4 LBS 21 F

    @onlyheknows Do you make your own seitan? Have you tried fava bean tofu? Those have about 30g of protein per serving.

    @nathanpaul Thank you! I have observed this personally… but felt unsure as the data indicates most folks should be 0.8!

    How do you get enough protein?

    @nathanpaul So you get slightly more than 1 G protein per pound of body weight ? I have also recently tried upping from 0.8 to 1.2 and seem to have better results .

    I fing hate protein shakes. How do I eat enough gains?

    @newbee3 I understand your concerns! I am 5 ft and maybe 105-109 lbs! Hard to hit protein goals and stay within my calories and not enough vegan meal plans are available to use as a guide. I used to rely on protein powders- but now I do tofu/seitan/tempeh at every meal and have been doing ok...

    I fing hate protein shakes. How do I eat enough gains?

    @prettyxdee What has helped me instead was more specific practical advice- include tofu/seitan/tempeh/protein powder (or similar) with every meal. Make sure your meal has at least 20 grams of protein. Setian is especially helpful as the calories are low per gram of protein.

    I fing hate protein shakes. How do I eat enough gains?

    @prettyxdee Hmm.. as I woman with much lower calorie needs- this plan ends up making me feel discouraged. My maintenance is maybe 1500 calories and my weight is 109 lbs. So, at the upper end of the protein intake I would need ~80 grams of protein. I would love to see more meal plans for women...

    Advice needed on maintaining muscle while cutting without high protein intake

    @baongoc1990 I am going 1.1 gram of protein per lb bw and gaining muscle . Is that too high?

    I’m 20 and 5’2” but very stressed about maintaining my weight

    @gailsie I don't think most trainers recommend daily exercise. More like strength train 3 days or even two days a week and keep your steps up. Exercise doesn't really impact weight loss very much. Strength training can increase muscles-but movement throughout the day > impact on weight loss...
