carol_n Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi, I'm new to this community and new to bodybuilding as a vegan. I have two questions: 1. What is your macronutrient ratio and why (e.g., why is this ratio effective for you)? 2. How does one figure out which ratio works best for them (or for a vegan, obviously)? Thank you!

muchidna Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 hi carol, i don't have a ratio in the traditional sense, i usually just aim for 2+g/kg of protein and after that, just go for my calorie goals for the day, i usually find that i get just enough fats just from eating my regular foodsi find it's really hard to maintain much more protein than that while still eating good wholesome foods, fruits and vegetables and still enjoying the diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenot Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Question 1. 2g protein/kg - for muscle building 1g fats/kg - to maintain healthy hormonal levels rest of my calorie intake = carbs.Basically I learned that in this thread from the bodybuild forum: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183Then adapted my diet with vegan food, learned a lot of recipes in the journals section. Question 2.Finding out the best ratio, as far as i know, is by trial and error. This ratio that I'm following is working pretty well for me so far, but I will experiment some other types of diet later ( I'm still new to bodybuilding also ). =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
