vegan fitness

Are there any recommendations for an at-home test that would approximate the percentage of protein in a pea protein powder or a lab that I can send the powder in to? I purchased a small amount from Sprout Living, who I chose for exclusively selling vegan-only products, having a claimed 80%...

as of now i use a fat burner as my pre workout but i want to start taking a pre workout that contains creatine. im thinking im going to try gorilla mode. is it beneficial to mix l carnitine with a preworkout?

I finished watching Gamechangers on Netflix and did some research afterwards which has inspired me to be more cautious about how much meat (both white and red) I eat due to its health impacts. To put a bit of context, I generally eat four meals a day, supplemented with protein and Multis. For...

Background: IAMA 23 y/o Height: 6’ 6’’ Weight: 145 Profession: Software development I guess to give full context, I need to start from the beginning. In high school/college, I had always been a high achiever (4.00 GPA, involved in clubs, etc.). After college I took a well paying job in...

Anyone here from Montreal ? I live in the East right next to Metro Papineau and I was wondering if I there any vegan friendly social circle to workout with?

I’ve been vegan since January ‘24. I have cut out sugar, salty snacks and fried foods and potatoes. Before that, I used to load up on a caramel macchiato or lots of sugar and half n half when I made coffee at home. My dunk’n order was an extra large coffee with ‘extra extra’ ( like 5 sugars...

Hey all! I'm currently eating on a deficit trying to cut my BF %. Those familiar with basic weightlifting/fitness knowledge know that protein nutrient requirements are ~.77-1g of protein per pound of body weight to maximize muscle growth. I weigh ~200 lbs, so I need to eat anywhere from...

I'm very new to both fitness and vegan nutrition. I am at a point where I feel like thinking about supplementing makes sense. All I do right now is having a scoop of hemp protein powder after every other workout or so. So as I have learned what BCAAs are recently I was wondering if there is...

Just because I like the full range of responses to be represented online, here's a somewhat different n=1 datapoint. Prior to Dec 2016, I ate any type of food other than mammal meat. Since then, I have been a vegan. As far as I can recall, I feel roughly the same as I did back then. The two...

I started creatine about a month ago and I'm wondering if there's any concrete proof to the timing of taking it? I've been having it in the morning because that's the most convenient for me (post breakfast) and I don't wanna bring the tub with me in my car (I work outside and bring all my food...

So after a year of properly lifting (after years of dicking around), I’ve managed to work my way up to a 1RM of 120kg in deadlifts, 80kg in squats and 65kg in DB press. (Just switched to barbell press.) It’s absolutely nothing to write home about (I’m 30M, 180cm and 78kg), but I had a few...

What's a cheap vegan protein powder. I'm struggling 😅. (In u.s.a)

Has anyone tried these?The macros seem wonky (6f 26c 20 p, 150 cal) even considering that the carbs are mostly prebiotic fiber. I was wondering if they were any good.

(dont know why it did the capitalization thing in title) Hey guys! I'll summarize this. I'm 28, 6'3", 175, slender build. I've been vegan for 15 years. For years I've desired a huge build and this year have finally begun working on it. I'm a pro vegan (ha) so I know how to make meals. For a...

Hey all, I'm a PhD student in the UK looking for any athletes/coaches who are interested in helping me with a pilot group using a new AI tool I have been developing. It helps deliver recovery insights using wearable data automatically from devices (like garmin, wahoo, polar, etc.). I'm working...

I bought this Edamame and Mung Bean Fettuccine on a whim but kept eating Banza instead because it looked icky. Finally gave it a try today and holy shit, it’s the best high protein pasta I’ve ever had. It’s not mushy like chickpea pasta (there’s a bit of a spring to it), cooks really fast, and...

I’ve been lifting for about 15 years. Vegan for +12 years. I’ve worked through injuries, other health problems, work travel, and the pandemic. Stayed true to my vegan values. Achieving my goals has been slow, hard work. Bar muscle up, 6-pack, lifting heavier… But I never saw my latest...

Healthy breakfast you can eat in the car. I have a long commute and leave early and would like a breakfast I can pre make the night before that’s not over night oats. Any takers?
