    What's something you wish you started doing sooner/knew earlier in your fitness journey?

    @cerufrost I've been vegan for years and have been getting plenty of protein. Helps a lot if you use a tracker like cronometer. In the ~3.5 years I've been vegan, I think I've ended only 3 days with less than 100% of my daily protein needs, and those were because I was traveling and have food...

    Three years vegan. I feel about the same as I did when I wasn't a vegan

    @flyingforjesus Yeah, I can't have wheat or grains related to wheat AT ALL unless I want my immune system to start attacking me and giving me serious confusion and bi-polar types symptoms when my brain starts to swell.

    I need help converting my low carb high protein diet into a vegan diet

    @faith11238206 I've found Cronometer.com to be very helpful in making sure I get all my nutritional goals, despite having immunity issues that prevent me from eating otherwise-healthy foods such as wheat and soy, in addition to "restrictions" of a plant-based diet.
