Troy Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 YI just wanted to know if you had more or less success in muscle building with a greater intake of greens. $4 a pound is crazy for greens. Luckily I'm in California and we get it from our farmer's markets for about $1.50 a bunch. Overall, I've found pretty good strength gains but I can't attribute it soley to the greens as I made the change to a vegan diet rather drastically... so I have to give credit to the entire diet. When I buy organic its about $2.50 a bunch for organic kale here. I'm not sure how much useable greens I get from a bunch as I don't use the stems, and stems weigh alot. Pretty pointless direction I'm taking this but anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I going to start logging the amount of meals I have each day... I wish I would of done that in the beginning! I think it will give me a good idea of the "actual" calories I'm putting away. If I have something that deviates from one of my normal meals I will note that.

kjs Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hey Troy, Is there a reason you don't incorporate beans/legumes into your non-smoothie meals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hey Troy, Is there a reason you don't incorporate beans/legumes into your non-smoothie meals? Good question, I don't do well with most beans... meaning with the flatulence. I'm already pretty flatulent so adding to the problem makes people around me quite unhappy.

Vegan Joe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 According to one macrobiotist I know and I think many agree. She warned against mixing fruits and vegetables togeather, as the sugar breaks down quicker than the veggie, and creates gas.Just a thought.

I've heard this too, I tried food combining theories and although they seem quite logical, I feel its a bit overwhelming and time consuming and I didn't find that the flatulence subsided...
