    thank you c.o. and I will definitely work on it!
  3. how do i consume enough calories without consuming too many high fat foods like nut butters and avocados? i was training quite seriously over the summer but i got so confused and frustrated that i stopped but i want to get it straight and get back to it. i've always struggled with my weight and even on a plant based diet i tend to yo yo and i have a belly and love handles. i was using the my fitness pal calorie tracker and it told me i can have 2280 calories a day. i usually only broke between 1600-1900. my bike ride to work alone would burn around 800 calories according to the app and then whatever i did in the gym that day and my bike ride home and the app told me i wasn't consuming enough calories. it said if i dont have at least 1200 calories left over after all of my training my body will go into starvation mode and hang on to fat. the problem is that i already felt like i was over eating and also i love peanut butter, guacamole, pasta, potatoes, bread and whatnot... basically things full of fat and carbs. so my question is how do i consume 3000-3200 calories a day without consuming high fat and carb foods?

    hello all. my name is mike and i've been vegetarian for just shy of 4 years. i say vegetarian rather than vegan because i have a tendency to cheat a little here and there with a slice of cheese pizza (usually for the sake of convenience) or an occasional doughnut that caught my eye while getting my morning coffee. i know i need to knock that off, especially one i begin training. anyway, im an avid cyclist and i enjoy a good workout but need to work on consistency. but i'm happy to be here and i hope i can learn from this forum.
