@larryicels Any recommendations for cooking tempeh to make it taste better?

@kaylaw94 I’m in the US, and there are only 3 grocery stores within an hour of my place. Haha They just have the basics as far as vegan milks go. I’ll check Amazon.

@kaylaw94 I’ve never seen this sold in my local stores. How is it with coffee?

@maizer Lol No. My BMR is literally 1350 when at the higher end of my normal weight range, which I maintained on for over a decade. I’m only eating at 1500 to help with gaining muscle, and eating above the 1300 range has caused me to balloon to a total of 12lbs overweight, which I will be...

@maizer I’ll check it out, thanks

@maizer Sure, if I want to be obese. Lol

@dawn16 2lbs down so far (woo!), and still super full from dinner more than 3 hours after eating. 😂 I want to eventually reach a point of being able to run at least a 5k distance 3-4 times per week. I think the 80-90g protein will be totally great by then, because I’ll be burning a lot more...

@dawn16 I’m currently overweight by about 10lbs, and would like to get into the middle of my normal weight range, but also put on some muscle. I’m pretty weak at the moment in general from a lot of time in bed the last few years from autoimmune issues and POTS. Definitely packing more fat than...

@toomanytroubles That’s good to know. Much better to have a nice light dinner instead of making myself sick each night trying to get a minimum of 80g protein in by the end of the day. 🫤

@roxchristian Bro science was telling to eat like 150g daily protein, which sounded hilariously ridiculous to me. Lol 80-90g seemed more reasonable to me.

@dawn16 Yeah, I’m new to tracking macros. Lol I was seeing people recommending 150g, which seemed hilariously ridiculous. I’m going to drop it to around 50-60g per day and see how I do.

@foreverbounds I’m going to aim for 40-60g per day now. 80-90g might be necessary like 6-12 months from now when I’ll have increased my exercise level significantly, but at my current exercise level, I don’t think I could reasonably sustain this much daily protein without making myself feel sick...

@am1inside I had lots of veggie soup at the start as well. Haha And chili. Chili is so easy, and is just nutritionally well balanced. I still make it all the time.

@am1inside I’ve been vegan for several years with perfect blood tests and no real tracking on my end. I’m just tracking macros now for fitness reasons. Lol

@forwhatitsworth I don’t mind non vegan subs. It’s easy to convert any food things into a vegan version. :) Yeah, I’m never feeling hungry after lunch, so I’m going to try out 40-60g of daily protein instead. Maybe increase it a little as I become more fit and active, but we’ll see.

@alm Don’t worry, I didn’t just jump right into exercise. I used to workout in my 20s a lot, and I started out with a few months of physical therapy this time since I had been sedentary to the extreme from issues for a few years. Jogging is the most difficult thing I do at the moment, and I use...

@raveningwolf Yeah. I make chili a lot. Have the ingredients on my countertop right now to make chili tomorrow. 😂

@thetreehugger12345 Tofu is the biggest protein source for me on most days. I also have oatmeal, field roast apple sage sausage, pea protein, soy yogurt, soy milk, beyond steak, impossible meat, a couple types of beans, nuts and seeds (almonds, hemp hearts, pecans and walnuts), veggies...

@christisrisen12 Nevada be like that. They’re huge and cool looking. From a safe distance. Haha Sometimes they get in fights in my front yard too. 🤦🏼‍♀️ As long as people don’t feed them, they’re mostly harmless. Though the leader of any pack of them will defend the pack if they feel threatened...

@lisa66uk Because there are lots of coyotes and wild horses in my area, and no streetlights. I walk my dogs at sunset so it’s not too hot out, and there’s still some light so we don’t get surprised by any animals hanging out on our route. I know that sounds silly, but we’ve run into the horses...
