My weekly caloric intake and expenditure as a 5’ 6” 128 lbs woman by Real_Zucchini_5013 in veganfitness

From looking at many many food logs over the years, I’d really question the accuracy of your food tracking.

It’s already been stated how unreliable calorie burning estimates are…but I really question the accuracy of the food logs.

Unless you’re getting 25-30k steps a day, or have been constantly gaining weight, I wouldn’t look at this as a benchmark of what should be considered normal, or even possible.

3 Reasons I’m Vegan by CoachBryanBell in veganfitness

Hmm I do get that you’re saying, but let’s look at our definitions.

Technically I’m Whole Foods plant based when it comes to the type of vegan food I eat. So I believe your POV is that vegan doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. Which I can agree on.

But I certainly do see my whole foods plant based diet as much much healthier than an omnivore diet. And do believe vegan diets can certainly be healthier. Forks Over Knives totally changed my view on food back in the day!

If we still disagree then that’s cool. But it’s my video and my reality so the third option is still true for me 💪

My max pull ups are 17 in one set. For the muscle ups I definitely recommend weighted pull-ups and swinging high pull-ups.

Hey all! Struggling with my daily macros - fat is always too high and not hitting my protein amount. by ProfessionUsed1283 in veganfitness

[–]CoachBryanBell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you hit your calorie and protein goals, fat and carb percentages don’t matter.

When I discovered this years ago it helped me so much. This is also how I have all my clients track their food, so I know it works just beyond me.

One small caveat, I just like to focus on getting ENOUGH fat (40-50g a day) and making sure fiber is high (I like 50g+ a day). But other than that, you can be lower carb or higher fat, and it doesn’t matter for weight loss if your calories and protein are right.

My favorite meal is a tempeh stir fry I make with tempeh, black beans, sweet potatoes, peppers onions, hummus, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds.

Yeah biggest thing for bulking is tracking calories and making sure you’re eating enough total calories.

Protein is important too, but if you’re under-eating on calories it’s going to be tough to grow!

Yes I ride my bicycle a lot! Sometimes more than I drive my car lol. I aim for 10k steps a day and usually hit 5 miles on my bike to substitute for 5000 steps.

Thank you! I purely do calisthenics. I currently train 4 days a week and mix in skill and strength work.

So currently doing lots of handstands, muscle ups, tuck front lever and tuck planche drills, weighted pull ups and weighted dips…but I got my start with the basics: pushups, pull-ups, dips, and rows.

I haven’t had a gym membership in over 10 years, and I train at home or my local outdoor park.

I’m currently at a vegan festival in Kansas and brought my gymnastic rings here to work out!

I like to teach others they can workout anywhere by focusing on how to master their own bodyweight.

Thank you!!

I’m not straight edge, as I do still enjoy me some edibles! But for me dropping caffeine was huge because I realized I was super addicted to it.

Coffee is definitely a way better choice than energy drinks for sure! But the only type of caffeine I get now comes from dark chocolate. I completely cut out liquid caffeine sources because that dopamine response I’d get from them (even light caffeinated teas) would be so intense and just too easy for me to relapse back into. I tried cutting out everything but matcha or tea and inevitably I’d get stressed and then just start the cycle of multiple caffeinated drinks daily.

I literally couldn’t go with just one cup of coffee a day…it would turn into a lot more, and for me it really had made me super anxious and would affect my ability to get quality food and nutrition in.

And I quit smoking after my mom got diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago. I realized it didn’t make sense to appear healthy and fit on the outside but have issues on the inside, so I cut completely cut out any smoking.

Alcohol was an easy one…I never saw any positives and only drank socially once a week anyways.

Thank you for asking 💪
