@tebah Well, a lot of my information is from my textbooks and the medical conferences I attend (PPOD, PBNHC, FNCE), so they're harder to quote. Some more approachable things would be a paper titled "fueling the vegetarian athlete" by Fuhrman and be aware it's towards extremely competitive...

@tebah I disagree with your basic premise of .77-1g/lb. The preferred amount is 1-1.4g/kg and/or 12-15% of calories when eating at maintenance or above. Also, frequency matters more than sheer amount; eating 100g at dinner is really not going to do very much for you because the kidneys cannot...

@bondo With the NUGO, half of them are vegan and half aren’t, so watch that on the label :)

@bondo Mannn this is great! Kudos for the good work. I’ve been wanting to do something similar for a while. However my biggest criteria are no palm oil; low saturated fat; and low sugar. (And taste!) I’ve been trying so many lately. The pro bar base really are delicious. I wanted to like the no...

@happywifehappylife You definitely need a new better doctor! I’m vegan and was severely low in iron, I got iron infusions which helped soooo much. And I’m considering birth control to stop my periods. Do NOT trust any one doctor. There are so many horrible outdated ones. Always always get...

@kimas I haven’t seen a single study on athletes following 80/10/10, have you?

@kimas I’ve never seen a single person or study on a plant based diet with those macros contributing to insulin problems or liver problems. In fact, often my patients are getting off insulin and metformin while following this and working with a personal trainer. And I see their livers get less...

@kimas I disagree. Have you worked with many patients who are transitioning from an ultra-high protein and low carb diet to a plant based diet?

@gphudson I don’t understand the question. I ate that high nutrient density and inclusive variety of food is important

@faith11238206 You shouldn’t try to keep the same macros since they’re fucking you and your liver up. Check out this pdf and it has meal plans in the back https://www.drfuhrman.com/content-image.ashx/65m12qvx5stmidc00uft3w/vegan_athlete.pdf You want 50-65% carbs, 15-30% fat, 15-30% protein...

@kernelpanic That's.... completely wrong. Do you have any scientific source for that? What do you think fasting is good for, then?

@joelightening HCLF is absolutely fine and can lose body fat! But you'll need to eat less calories, and also cut out the oils. Get your fat from whole food sources like avocados, nuts, etc. Also consider intermittent fasting, such as 16 hour sleep between dinner and breakfast or fasting for...
