  1. Thank you! I weigh 170, so this is a weight loss plan while weight training... As an example, yesterday I ate a banana before a worked out and had 1/2 cup black beans at lunch - that would be all of the carbs I would be allowed... I ended up with 150 carbs for the day, 41 g fat, 76 g protein, 1,243 calories. It seems that eating nuts is putting me over on fat and beans/fruit on carbs, but I am eating pretty much all whole foods. Today I am already at 67 carbs because I ate an apple for 20 carbs - the rest came mostly from my protein powder, kale, and beets... Its seems like I can stay within the calories no problem by eating mostly whole foods, and I can probably get the fat down by reducing the nuts, but then I'm losing that protein (I'm not even close to the recommended 110 g protein with 2 scoops of Sunwarrior powder a day). I would like to at least eat 2 pieces of fruit per day, but that will pretty much blow my carbs... I have not been eating any refined carbs - basically just brown rice and quinoa. My recommended goals just don't feel right based on what I am eating - any thoughts? Thanks!!
  2. I have been a vegan for about 2 months and recently began working out with a trainer. I am a 5'9'' female... He wants me to eat 1300 calories per day, 110 g of protein, 50 g of carbs, 25 g of fat. Is this healthy? At this point, I can't even imagine how I can do it - it seems to be very hard to stay under 50 g carbs while also getting enough protein from whole foods, and I have been taking protein powder. I am not sure he knows much about vegan diets, but apparently I don't either, and I am trying to figure out if I need to modify his suggestions or not. Any reactions or suggestions? Thanks!
