FictionRose Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hello, i need help to maintain macronutrient ratio's in my meals. In five years I have lost about 20kg/44lbs and now I want to lose atleast 7kg/15lbs more. Since I am a mix between endo/mesomorph I calculated that I approximatly need 45% protein, 25% fat and 30% carbs (this was suggested by a fitness trainer, who also told me to eat dairy and fish)I don't have problems reaching the amount of carbs or fat, but reaching almost 200g of protein is almost impossible for me. I manage to reach about 120g/per day using soya protein powder. I would like to know how to up my protein intake with real food (not powdered protein). My sports activities: twice per week I have 1,5 hour of kickboxing, once per week 1 hour of aerobics, once per week hiking, and I plan to run for atleast half an hour on my days off.I'm 21 years old student (not a lot of time and money), I currently weight 57kg/125lbs and I'm 164cm/5feet 4 inches tall. I usually eat four-six meals per day (depends on my time). I would be glad if someone could give me a few ideas to up my protein intake. I apologize for my grammar errors, english is my second language, and there aren't any vegan fitness enthusiasts in my country that I could turn to for advice.

oldlunk Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Do you cook? here are some reciepts for faux meat I like both 1 serving approx. 24g protein low carbs: http://www.ehow.com/how_5585131_make-soy-meat.html The soy meat looks just like a hamburger. will cost a little to stock up on ingredients but very cheap per serving around a $1. I had a scoop of pea,rice protein to make a nice complete amino acid profile. Hopefully you dont have a problem with wheat gluten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
