Paige Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi. I am new to this board and a new vegan. I am competing in a fitness competition in 6 weeks. I am having a tough time keeping up my energy for training on my new diet. I thought it was because my cals were to low but I have not lost any weight so I don't think that is the problem. I could use any suggestions on how many cals/carbs/fats most competitors eat during training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi Paige, welcome to veganism You supply scarce information. - What is your workout regimen?- Lack of energy is somewhat normal 6 weeks pre-comp. I'd still say you lack carbs.- Maybe you have gained muscle? Did you shed fat? - What does your diet look like? Good luck with your prep and comp,Daywalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
