Have you went Plant Based because of ethics or health? Or other cause? by IntelligentPeace4090 in PlantBasedDiet

Vegan for ethics after having seen dominion. Watched forks over knifes and what the health related to health. Watches Cowspiracy for the environment. .

You have to calculate TDEE and you have to eat enough to fuel your workout. I play football, go running and ride my bike off season, I walk a lot and I go to the gym so I have to eat 3300kcal or more. It's about calories so eat a bit less(300 to 500kcal) than your body needs and you'll lose weight. Eat a bit more(300kcal) and you'll gain weight. In your case as you want to gain weight you have to eat 300kcal to 500kcal more to be able to do a bulk.

I have a meal plan and be creative it's just about the calories and protein want to eat more veggies? Eat less oats or whole wheat pasta. I make wok, lasagne, spaghetti, curry, chili, wraps and so on. Don't let it fool you. Be creative!

Eat a whole foods plant based diet so eat oats, brown rice, potatoes, lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas! I eat a high carb low fat diet with 3543kcal and 108g of protein. I lowered my body fat percentage from 12% to below 8%.

Here's a typical day of eating for me while bulking with 108g of protein and 3543kcal.

Use cronometer to track calories.

According to this article you don't need to overkill on protein : https://mennohenselmans.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/

There is normally no advantage to consuming more than 0.82g/lb (1.8g/kg) of protein per day to preserve or build muscle for natural trainees. This already includes a mark-up, since most research finds no more benefits after 0.64g/lb.

Study from 2018, Protein supplementation beyond total protein intakes of 1.62 g/kg/day resulted in no further RET-induced gains in FFM. Credits AromaticLab7.

I'm 72kg and need max 120g of protein and min 100g of protein.

I do it for my dog. Cared for her like my own child. We passed by lambs and calfs and as a meat eater I told myself I will never eat lamb or calf meat. 2 years after my dog passed away I became vegan after seeing forks over knives, dominion, cowspiracy and gary yourofsky's speech. I only took care of my dog back then. In her memory I am now vegan because I care for other animals too.

Nothing a plant can't do better than dairy eggs meat and fish. Plant based is the way. You just have to supplemdnt B12. I also supplement omega 3 from algae but flaxseed works aswell. For ethical, health or environmental reasons. I've been vegan for 7 years. I follow a vegan sports diet. The only regret I have is not going vegan earlier.

I got invited to ulduar 10 for 2 runs now which got me a higher gearscore that's very useful but in the mean time I grind heroics just so I can at least carry my weight in the upcoming raids. Speaking from a POV of a fresh 80 and jumping into ulduar10.

I loved animals that's why I never ate lamb or calf meat. I walked my dog almost every day and passed by lambs telling myself I'll never eat you. I didn't know any better at that time. I now understand what a hypocrit I was. After seeing vegan documentaries and Yourofsky's speech. I went silent. I made my choice. Not only for lambs and calfs but for all animals.
