Fitchick32 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 My name is Angela and I have been training for the past year. I have been eating the standard high protein diet for competition training. I have 10 weeks until my first bikini competition and need to lean out. I am so sick of consuming chicken,fish,etc.... I really don't know where to start with a vegan pre-contest diet. Can someone help me? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSwolehouse Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I don't know if this the best time to change something up that drastic. Stick with what works for now and figure out going vegan after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitchick32 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thanks but I don't feel well on that diet. I have been eating more veggies and fruit again and not eating chicken or beef. I feel much better. I just don't know what to eat 10 weeks out to maximize fat loss? Any ideas? Thank you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hey Angela! Welcome to the TEAM! We have a bunch of people on here who compete, including myself. Both male and female competitors are around here. Try posting a journal in the Online Journals section. There is always a lot of activity there and lots of feedback from others too. I've competed 11 times as a vegan. I'm sure I can share some ideas with you as well. Greens, grains, veggies, hemp, pea, rice protein, EFAs, some fruits, tofu, tempeh, etc. When I compete I eat a lot of greens, essential fats, tons of protein drinks from Vega and Sun Warrior, grains, potatoes, yams, tofu, tempeh and some beans, nuts, seeds. Catch up soon. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitchick32 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thank you Robert! I will start an online Journal! I calculated my macronutrients for a cutting diet and I am trying to come up with something that works. I have 9 weeks and I hope to look better and feel better for my first comp. I will try the tofu and tempeh too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlandcoconut Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Good luck with your comp Angela! I've been training hard to get back in shape with the ultimate goal of doing a figure competition. I'm shooting for early 2011. Interested to hear how it goes for you, the meal planning for me seems really complicated when I break down the nuts and bolts, I eat well but I'm not sure how to eat optimally for pre-contest.

Fitchick32 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks! Yes, the meal planning is very hard for me. I can't seem to get it right. What do you typically eat? I started drinking green smoothies for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
