Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I'm back to logging everything I eat. I've been busting my ass lifting for a couple years now, and have seen no results. It's seems fairly obvious that my lack of gains are due to an insufficient amount of food. Maybe this time I'll get it right.

Really? Thanks. I still don't think I'm getting enough calories or protein though. It's amazing how much better I feel now that im adding more fat into my diet.

Yes I noticed the same thing as soon as I re-introduced fats into my diet. I am getting my sources from coconut and almonds. I actually added it after reading that eating healthy fats actually assist in normalizing hormone levels .

hey threeloaves... your diet looks good!!! Specially because I remember you talking about being afraid of overeating. Nice to see you've incorporated a healthy, well rounded diet with more calories into your life! Good job

I think I've finally overcome my fear of eating. It's reassuring, seeing as I feel a whole lot better now. I still may be falling a bit short in the calories, and protein area, but I feel like I'm on track. Thanks for the follow up.
