Hey all, I keep reading that one should get about one gram of protein per pound. I'm only about 140 pounds right now so that would mean eating 140 grams of proteins per day! But how is this possible? My tofu packs are 56g proteins here, so that would mean I'd need to eat like a whole protein...

Hi, all! This is my first post on here. I’ve very recently (1 hour ago lol) committed to going vegan. I am very new to the gym. Im 5’6” and 138lbs. I’m currently lifting 3x/week and doing cardio 4x/week. My trainer has me on a high animal protein diet consisting of 150gP, 122gC and 50gF. I’m...

So I’m on the hunt for a vegan protein bar that has good protein to calorie ratios, is reasonably priced and obviously tastes good! It also needs to be available in U.K. (can’t be spending ££ shipping from US). This is the bar to beat at the moment : Myprotein Carb Crusher £13.34 for 12...

I’m just wondering if anyone else experienced this. I am 35, been vegetarian for 10 years, vegan for 5 months. I notice my weight can fluctuate 8 pounds in a month since switching diets. I am 5’3” and on the low end I’m 115, on the high end I’m 123. I’m fit and have muscle. But I really don’t...

Hi guys! New here! My background with vegan diet: I used to be vegan 5+ years ago and maintained it for about 2 years, however I was not financially able keep at it and my health deteriorated from lack of nutrition as I wasnt doing it properly. Fast forward to now my finances and physical...

TL;DR For the best results, aim for your total daily protein intake to be 1.6 - 2.2g/kg of bodyweight if looking to maximize muscle growth (0.8 - 1.1 g/kg for general health/maintenance) spread out over 3-6 feedings. Strive to get your protein from a mix of grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds to...

Hi y’all, I hope this kind of post is okay here. I’ve been vegan for almost 3 years and while I’ve never felt healthier, I am hoping to gain more strength. A weightlifter friend was pointing out that no matter how much I work on my strength exercises if I don’t get more protein in to my daily...

I’m a firm believer of “one diet doesn’t fit all”. I see food as medicine: needs to be adjusted to each variable in a person. That being said, I’m wondering if anyone agrees? If you do, how should I figure out how many calories I need?

There is such a wealth of knowledge in this community, so many great results, so many myths busted! And I'm just wondering what this community would think about assembling some sort of permanent resource like a Wiki/nutrition FAQ/diet plans/training plans/etc. to get people started and answer...

Hi all, new to the group and wanted to get your thoughts... Love the milk alternatives - diverse range of choices, and easy to make at home too. Struggling with butter alternatives. In the shop I can see coconut butter, but don’t feel it’s as diverse as actual butter. Question: has the vegan...

It took me one hour, but I’ve improved so much since a month and a half ago when I started exercising. I used to not even be able to go 5 minutes without stopping, now I regularly do 40+ minutes at 4 mph. Today being longer, which is very motivating to see how far I’ve come. June 1 will be my 8...

Hi! I'm trying to pick between the "Essential" and "Complete" multivitamins from Future Kind, but I'm finding it hard to make a decision. The Essentials Vitamin comes with B12, Omega-3 (main reason why I think it's better) and Vitamin D. And it's 2/Day. The Complete Vitamin doesn't have...

Hey guys! I am not a vegan, but i had a question to ask about vegan nutrition. I’ve always struggled with weight, and obviously I eat as majority of the US country does. There was one brief stint of about 2 years where I got in absolutely amazing shape seeing a non-vegan nutritionist. I...

What is the point of having a protein supplement that has added vitamins A, C, and K? The supplement is comparable to Lean fit organic plant based Protein. However, Vega has the added vitamins with at 10$ increase in cost for a comparable product. Vitamin a is only 6%, vitamin c 7% and vitamin k...

There are a few vegan fitness influencers I follow and some of them say: “Go ahead use protein powders and mock meats to get extra protein” And some say: “you only really need healthy whole foods, and you get enough protein by eating enough” I’m confused about the amount I really need for...

[This overlaps slightly with a previous post of mine from >1 month ago, so sorry about that.] My goal is to gain muscle mass and want to do this in the most effective, efficient, cheap, lazy, and tasty way possible. Here are my beliefs as of now: I want to hit at least 130 g of protein every...

Keto alters the fuel use of your body changing it from a primarily carb burning machine (glucose) to a fat burning one. It will change the way you process energy and hamper explosive performance. Energy supply is a chemical process and it takes time to convert stored energy into ATP (adenosine...

I eat a lot of pb & j and usually throw a banana or apple slices in it. I use healthy pb and decent quality whole wheat bread so im happy with the nutrition if it, but i cant find a healthy way to do the jelly. Most jams and preserves have a bunch of added sugar i dont want. And without the...

I'm having a really hard time converting diets to vegan diets when it comes to loosing weight and gaining muscle. I find Hunter Hobbs's videos and his "The Normal Person's Guide to Shred" book really helpful, but since approach is not vegan, I can't follow his dietary advices. I'm 165 (5'5'')...
