andrewkimmy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello all, I have been converting slowly to a vegan diet over the last 18 months or so. I am doing it because of health reasons and the fact that I want to live a cleaner, healthier life. I have gone vegan doing T25 and just looked like a twig. I've started doing Body Beast and trying to prove people wrong that it is possible to build muscle, lose body fat and maintain a vegan lifestyle. However I'm looking for advice on what and how I should be eating. I have read books like Thrive, The Paradigm Diet, Eat to Live and of course Shred It!! I have tailored my eating plan to the 70/15/15 recommendations and am looking for pointers on how I am doing. Here is the link to My Fitness Pal account if anyone is interested/willing to take a look and make recommendations. Any help would be appreciated!! www.myfitnesspal.com/andrewkimmy127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I took a quick look and I think that diet is a disaster if your goal is to build muscle. What is your TDEE and body type? ...and please do not measure dry foods by volume...it is horribly inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewkimmy Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello jmf, I agree with you on the measurement of dry food, makes sense for sure. I am an endomorph and my total TDEE is 3250 and I am using a 70%C/15%P/15%F as recommended in the book Shred It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiji Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just so you know, it's already been proven that you can build muscles and reduce body fat on a vegan diet. It's not uncharted territory fella. Mr universe is vegan for goodness sake. Give it a go at 70/15/15 for a while then adjust from there. Stick with whole foods and minimally processed foods. I'm currently running at about 60/20/20 and 3500-4000 kCal/ day but that works for me and how I train. Not a bodybuilder more performance based. Good luck with your vegan diet. It is worth it. And don't get too bent over my smartass comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewkimmy Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hey Eiji, No getting worked up on my end, I understand. Just looking for help if I'm eating the right foods to meet that the 70/15/15 numbers. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, can't say that 70% carb is an ideal ratio for you...probably more like 40-50% would be more suitable. ...and your fat intake: 15% is definitely on the low end of the scale.
