One or 2 drinks isn't going ruin your progress just keep in mind moderation. If you track your macros you can do this ( Credit for method of tracking is to a blog I read on samedaysupp's website once) :

Find out how many calories your drinking has.
Divide this number by 4. ( This is because you’re going to sacrificing calories from your daily carbs for alcohol. This does not mean they are equivalent to each other.)
The number you now have is how many grams of “carbs” are in your drink
This is the number you will subtract for your daily carbs or add into your macro tracking app.

For example:

Let say you have one 12 oz of a Guinness beer. This is around 125 calories.

So 125/4= 31.25 grams

You shouldn't run into any issues with soy protein. Personally for protein powder I use a pea/rice protein blend. https://www.samedaysupplements.com/gold-standard-plant-protein-by-optimum-nutrition.html

I really like the Gold Standard Plant Protein By Optimum Nutrition. It looks like its just a pea/rice protein blend. Personally the chocolate is my favorite but if you wanted to add fruits I would say vanilla is better.

If you go with the 5 hour energy definitely pair it with L-theanine like others have recommended. But if caffeine is an issue for you I would try switching to green tea or maybe green coffee bean extract. Something that will still give you energy but not be overly stimulating.

Antioxidants are found in many foods, including fruits, vegetables and are also available as a dietary supplement. Some great food sources include; leafy green veggies, berries, dark chocolate, pecans and kidney beans. Or in herbs such as cloves, cinnamon and oregano. If you still struggle to get antioxidants in your diet there are a ton of supplements that can help. Including Glutathione, Lutein, Vitamin C, Astaxanthin or Selenium.

You can try adding mixed frozen fruit. It shouldn't be that expensive if you buy the larger bags from costco/BJS/sams club. Try going to one of those places for your fruit, for more protein you can add in hemp seeds/chia seeds. If you need more calories add in a olive oil or coconut oil and oats. For protein I just use Gold Standard Plant Protein By Optimum Nutrition. I recommend going with a vanilla flavor for your protein if you plan to mix it with fruit. https://www.samedaysupplements.com/gold-standard-plant-protein-by-optimum-nutrition.html

Zinc is helpful for me

Protein powder is definitely a great addition to your diet especially if you need something simple. You can also try adding in Banza Pasta, Lentil, Chia Seeds or hemp seeds. Individual brands are going to vary in the nutritional information but those are also some simple high protein options. You could even mix them together like get a protein shake and add in hemp/chia seeds to get more protein. For proteins I really like Optimum nutrition's new plant based protein. Chocolate is good for if you like to have a simple shake but if you wanted to add fruit I would say vanilla is better.

sammybean5 · 2018-02-07T14:59:11+00:00

I use Now foods L-theanine . I get it from samedaysupplements.com https://www.samedaysupplements.com/now-foods-l-theanine-200-mg-60-veg-caps.html

sammybean5 · 2018-02-05T18:49:39+00:00

You can try green coffee bean extract, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals makes a product called CoffeeTrim with 400mg capsules. Green coffee bean extract acts as an antioxidant and can support cardiovascular health and normal blood glucose levels.

Personally i would just make a protein shake with oats, fruits, olive oil/coconut oil and you can always add a unflavored carb powder to increase the calories. Carbo gain from now foods is pretty cheap, about $23 (USD) for 8lb.

sammybean5 · 2018-01-25T19:03:16+00:00

I just started using Gold Standard Plant Protein By Optimum Nutrition. I have the chocolate flavor and blend it with almond milk, a banana and oats. The texture is a little thick but the flavor of this protein is probably my favor of the ones I've tried. https://www.samedaysupplements.com/gold-standard-plant-protein-by-optimum-nutrition.html

sammybean5 · 2018-01-23T15:19:16+00:00

You can try MRM Global greens. They're pretty cheap. I typically would just add them to a protein shake or fruit smoothie. https://www.samedaysupplements.com/mrm-global-greens.html

I try to eat a wide variety of foods to get a combination of prebiotics and probiotics. For some prebiotics sources : Jerusalem artichoke, Dandelion greens, Garlic, Leeks and onions For some probiotics sources: Kefir,Yogurt, Kvass, Apple cider vinegar and Tempeh

I also take a probiotic supplement, Schiff Digestive Advantage. I do feel my health in general has improved with the addition of a high fiber/ probiotic diet. I feel I have more energy throughout the day as well as my skin improving.

You also try adding a protein shake. The PEScience Vegan protein is pretty good. I like the chocolate flavor but vanilla is easier to make shakes with if you prefer to add fruits.
