On a brand new kick for the last couple of months. I realized I had been terrible about eating fruits and vegetables. My typical diet consisted of zero for breakfast, maybe a leaf of lettuce or a single apple for lunch, and then a half-cup to cup of frozen veggies for dinner. That was on a good day.
I completely switched over to a much higher amount of veggies and fruits through my new NutriBullet I received. I love it and feel so much better. My only real concern is that I've reduced the amount of protein I'm getting. I'm starting up my weightlifting routine again heavy here shortly so will evaluate the impact. It may mean adding some protein powder to my smoothies but I'm good with that.

yeah, I get the protein problem too. I try to be totally whole plant food, and notice that the lentils, other stuff give me about 70G protein a day. Although not complete protein. I eat 10g of walnuts to maybe supplement the missing amino acids. Do add a bit of soy powder every day to shakes and oatmeal. And sometimes at the gym will get a hard boiled egg. But the loss of animal protein doesn´t seem to have affected my energy. I don´t have a regiment with weights like you probably do, but I´ve known a lot of vegetarians who run marathons, etc. Just remember, the animo acids in plants and animal are equal. And wise choice to include more carbs. I love the metrics on the blood work. I was very low animal protein, 100g a day, until about 4 mo ago,then cut out the little bit there was.
I just looked at your daily intake, looks pretty skimpy to me. I have noticed if I am neg 1000 calories a day, can knock off about a kilo a day. And by the way, for me, it´s a constant challenge.

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm not avoiding meat entirely but the simple fact of avoid chemicals and "ingredients I cannot pronounce" does limit my options. I avoid soy but will use a pea or whey protein. I started looking at plant-based sources of protein and saw that lentils were very high along with tofu and tempeh but since I avoid soy those are out for me. I enjoy quinoa (which is a complete protein) so try to eat that nearly everyday. Love it. I'll have to start incorporating more seeds and nuts, pumpkin, hemp, etc.
I don't log completely everything I eat but I am probably low for this period as far as calories are concerned. I'm focused on getting down to a specific weight while weightlifting during this period because I'm planning on running the Tough Mudder in September. Another 10 lbs and I'll reevaluate but that should put me in a pretty good position.

By the way, jathomaz, so jealous! Just checked your profile and see you're in Peru? I love it there. My extended family is from Peru. :)

Have you ever looked into shakes/smoothies using vegan protein powders? VegaOne and PlantFusion have complete protein vegan powders...I just started researching them so I can't tell you much but they scored very well...

I haven't looked into those specifically. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep them in mind next time I'm shopping for them. Thanks!

No prob! I'm definitely going to try one of them next time I need powder....I find the milk based ones a bit heavy....
