Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Have you tried intermittent fasting and calorie/carb cycling? I've had great success with it.

Looking good thought. Don't stress too hard.

I did IT for a week then just went back to eating normally. I should try calorie/ carb cycling though. Right now my macros are 50/30/20 (c:p:f) I eat about 1200 calories

I like to eat from 12PM to 6PM each day and fast the rest of the time. I am ripped and I have found this allows me to eat more and still stay lean.

I don't carb cycle but I drop my kcal on my off days to 2,500-2,700. I eat about 3,000-3,250 on lift days. I also train fasted 75% of the time.

All of these methods have helped me get/stay super lean and retain A LOT of strength.

sweet i'm gonna give IT another shot. I got my bodyfat% measured last month, it said 18%, now i know it can be off by like 3%, so i'm roughly about 20% i would say, my goal is to be at around 16 or 17.

The thing with IF is it takes a week or two to adjust to it. But there are real world health benefits to it, as well as the fact it can really help with body fat %s. I'm a little guy and even my metabolism, medical circumstances, and exercise schedule does not account for the amount of food I eat while staying lean.

Stick with it pal. (:

CY, how do you take in ~3000 calories in 6 hours? That's pretty hefty going on paper.

It's easy. I split it up into two big meals.

Pre-Break Fast: 10-11AM
Protein Shake 175

1:
1lb sweet potatoes or yams w/ 28g flaxseed and 12g coconut oil 700
3.5 cups split pea stew w/ nutritional yeast and veggies 650

2:
Protein shake 175
2 TBSP Peanut butter, almond butter, or trail mix 200
3.5 cups split pea stew w/ nutritional yeast and veggies 650
Tofu w/ 1/2lb veggies, bean sprouts, garlic, etc. 400

Usually on lift days I throw in a clif bar, or a coconut bar, or some more trail mix with coffee for a treat with coffee for 3,300ish. On off days I don't do an extra snack, and I shave off 300-400kcal for 2,600-2,700kcal.

Hard to have big improvements when ya already look so good! A problem I have as well

Now if I could just work on my humility...

Keep it up!!

I love seeing progress photos of people, they keep my workouts intense and motivate me! Nice progress Btw, best believe its gona take time because your already pretty lean....

from last night, started eating 6-8 small meals a day this week. loving it so far

slowly by surely
