  1. Thank you so much!!! I've been struggling and your post is super encouraging. I'm trying not to have that much soy, and focusing on pea protein more. Thank you, will try some of your suggestions!
  2. Hi there! I'm new to this forum, and this is my first post. I have always been a very cardio-centric person and recently decided to get a trainer and incorporate strength training into my routine as I'm not getting the results I want from cardio alone. I got myself a trainer who has clients with amazing results, and she is giving me a 12 week workout program (focuses on lifting, and changes weekly) and customized macro diet to follow. She is not vegan, but she knows that I am. She gave me my nutrition goals last weekend and I am STRUGGLING. I'm looking for input from the experts here on whether this is even doable and if it is, how do I go about this. I'm finding it extremely hard to get to my protein goals but still keep my carbs low, and reach my calorie goal. It's beyond frustrating. Daily Goals: Calorie: 1713 Fat: 59.5 Carbs: 124.4 Protein: 170 Grams per meal: Calories: 343 Fat: 11.9 Protein: 34 Carbs: 24.9 170 grams of protein?!? I mean, really? Example of what I'm eating today: Breakfast: Vegan Protein Powder, Almond Milk, 1/2 banana, chia seeds: 323 Calories/32.5 C/7.2 F/32 P Snack: 1 slice of Eziekel Toast, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter: 175 calories/19 C/8.5 F/7.5 P Lunch: Beyond Meat Chicken Strips, 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, Roasted zucchini: 314 Calories/37 Carbs/8.5 F/28 P Snack 2: Mini Bell Peppers, 2 Tablespoons of Hummus: 93 calories/10.7 C/4.5 F/3.3 Protein Dinner: Lettuce, Tempeh, Salsa, Avocado: 348 Calories/23.5 C/16.9 F/19 P I wanted to have some beans and sauteed peppers with my dinner, but as you can see I'm at my limit with the carbs So based off of all of this, I'm at exactly 1200 calories for the day. And I'm still EIGHTY grams of protein short, at my carb max, short 13 G fat, and 500 calories short. Is it just me, or is this crazy?? I'm a firm believer that counting the carbs in my broccoli or bell peppers is insane, but I'm not really left with much of a choice. The way I see this, I'm going to be miserable and not going to do this long term. Can you help please? Thank you <3
