    How to eat 190g of protein a day as a vegan on a calorie deficit?

    @iowakid8401 175 pounds at 15% gives a lean mass of 149 pounds. At my current consumption level (1.3 grams per kilogram of lean mass), that would be 88 grams for you. You can always have more, but that would give you the same ratio as me. If you wanted to round up for a fudge factor, 95-100...

    Are my macros right?! New vegan gaining weight instead of losing!

    @adamc So 30% protein 25% fat and 45% carb… I’m at 55% carb, 25% fat, 20% protein and that’s been a real winner for me (does a lot of BJJ and weight lifting). But macros are all relative. My carbs come mainly from organic fruit juices and smoothies, fat comes from organic raw coconut butter...

    Cardio Question

    @asparien This triggers the debate of course of “what counts as cardio”. I have a resting heart rate around 58 BPM, and cardio for me is anything that sustains me above like 110 BPM for duration. I never get anywhere near that walking. But if you do, I’d say it’s hard to argue your heart and...
