I'd say, that you should forget the dairy and eggs. Your diet is way too cheesy. Use some plant-based protein like legumes, nuts, seeds and lentils. And soy protein isolate is as good as whey.

Great vid.

Now I could easily say, that I hate it, so I won't vote for now.

Well yes, today I feel much better.

Licorice. I could eat it every day for the rest of my life.

Nothing more to say.

The headline is a little weird, but I hope I could make myself clear.

So first of all, I'm the type of person, who has trouble eating "too much". I think my stomach has shrinked and that makes it difficult to eat much. Besides I also tend to eat less often as I should. But I'm trying to work on these two.

But for now I need some advises to get my calories and protein intake right and I need some help with that. So I ask you: What should I eat?

I'm not really into cooking, so I guess that I'd need some seeds and nuts - alot - to get my protein and fats. Currently I eat a large dose of oat meal with bran as a breakfast and it makes my appetite disappear for like... four to six hours or so? So I guess, that it's too much for me and doesn't serve me well as I want to learn how to eat better and more frequently.

I'm 5'11'' (173cm) and currently I weight about 127 lbs (58kg) so my BMI is somewhat 19,4. I train three times a week at the gym and besides that I have to walk the dog twice a day. I haven't really calculated my calories, but I just have a feeling that I eat less than I should.

And so, what I need is suggestions about quick and easy to make type of whole foods/meals (which are awailable in Finland) that are high in protein and calories. Oh and any other advises about eating better/more frequently are also welcome. I don't have any allergies, so no problems there.

Tervetuloa! It's nice to see other Finnish members here.

Now I could easily say, that I hate it, so I won't vote for now.

Today I trained with a bunch (3) of vegan girls. When they were exhausted after doing some moves and they were all lying in my bed I realized that I have done something right in my life. When your bed is full of vegan girls you've done something right. Period.

I've had like three girls in my 120 * 200 sized bed, sleeping with me. It really was a pleasure indeed.

On topic again.

I can't do a single pull-up nor even a chin-up without some help. So now I'm trying to make a difference there and I've practiced doing chin-ups in a near-by park, where's a nice bar for this.

I've been there like three times by now, and I've already had some progress. At first it didn't work at all. My arms weren't strong enough to pull my chin all the way up or keeping me hanging on feet above the ground. I kept on falling back.

Second time was little better. I wasn't falling that fast and I managed to get a better grip for the downward motion and I managed to control it a little better.

Third time I managed to control the downward motion altogether and as I practiced the chin ups with a lower bar (*) I managed to find my lats and I also managed to do some pull-ups with the same method. And it felt awesome.

And today I may have a chance to try assisted chin-ups, since I'm going to the gym with a partner (who's probably willing/able to help me )

* My feet on the ground holding the part of my weight I wasn't able to lift - but passively, didn't use them (that much) to pull myself up... hard to explain.

My entry!

Virginia Tech

 

In a tragic episode Monday morning, the worst shooting incident in American history, a gunman shot and killed at least 32 students and faculty and wounded dozens of others on the campus of Virginia Tech university in Blacksburg, Virginia. In the end, the gunman turned the gun on himself.

We also had here, in Finland, a school shooting massacre, which was highly related to this and the Columbine school massacre, 'cause the gunman admired those shooters. You can read about it from Wikipedia: Jokela High School Massacre.

It was really a tragic thing to happen.

And we also had a school massacre threat in our school on a day (16th of April), that I discovered to be the anniversary of The Virginia Tech massacre. But I'm glad that there was no shooter in our school 'cause likely she/he would have shot me, 'cause there weren't a lot of students attending that day (they were scared because of the threat).

Would it be that he's bored? I don't really know about daschaunds, but he seems pretty active type to me. Do you play with him or activate him in any kind of way? I mean that it could help, that you'd play with him more often. Leave on the floor something that he could play with.

And maybe close the bathroom door so that he's not getting any razors to play with.

I'm sorry to hear that. I also have a bunny and a few wild rabbits lurking in our garden () and it would be dreadful, if anything happened to her/them.

My partner also has a bunny, 1,5 years old and she's sick. And it seems that she's going to have put to sleep, 'cause she has already had three courses of antibiotics and they don't seem to work. She has Pasteurella.

I have also lost many loved ones. Two dogs, two bunnies and two guinea pigs. Now I have one dog, two guinea pigs and one bunny.

not too mention that the bear might die now because he is refusing to eat.

 

What irony that the Wildlife PROTECTION people took the bear away only to have the bear possibly die as a result of those actions!!!! As a society, we are constantly missing the big picture!

I agree. Very irresponsible to separate them like that.

Fallen horse said, that we shouldn't compare omnivorously eating individuals to those, who have vegan diet and who consciously watch what they eat. But there's a problem there.

I mean that many omnivores THINK that eating meat, dairy and eggs is just enough to be healthy and get all the nutrition you'll need to live healthy. And they just aren't aware of that what they eat isn't enough - that it's also important for them to eat green veggies, beans and that sort of things.

Omnivores are so brainwashed to think that only the ones that refuse to eat meat/dairy/eggs are the ones that should look after what they eat. So they just don't give a damn about what they themselves eat.

My relatives are very meat-and-dairy-consuming people and it shows. My father (over 50-year-old) has very high blood pressure, my mother and both my mothers parents have diabetes (type two). I told my father, that his blood pressure would surely drop, if he stopped eating meat and he just laughed at me. So I borrowed his blood pressure indicator (sphygmomanometer) and showed him my blood pressure (115/55). He really was impressed then, but he still consumes more meat and dairy than he should.

I think he's eating those (blood pressure medicine) pills for the rest of his life.

But yeah, my point was to say that meateaters should also watch more carefully what they eat and so it's only educational for them to see that average vegan has less deficiencies than average meateater. It's kind of mind-opening.

Tervetulua

Or something...

Kiitos. (It's written "Tervetuloa" btw)

Those images remind me of Mad Max-movies. Thanks for sharing.

They are all so beautiful!! Nice work!

I have Nintendo DS Lite. <3 It's great for traveling, since I travel quite a lot by bus to get to see my loved one and it takes 1,5h to get there. So I play and listen to music at the same time and I totally forget that I'm actually traveling.

I've bought most of my games from stores that sell also second-hand games, 'cause it's cheaper and better choice than buying everything brand new. I also tried to find used DS Lites, but there were none at that moment.

My fav games are Project Rub and LifeSigns: surgical unit.

Thank you all. And hi to you too, tuc. Maybe some day I will. Now I'm just too skinny and have too much bf to post any pics just yet.

And again the cat came on my lap just as I started to write this post.

... And now she fell asleep.

I'm happy that my humor is understandable, even though I'm not used to joke around in english. Or maybe I just worry too much, as usually...

Welcome!

 

I hope you can get to a gym or perhaps acquire higher weights, a barbell and a bench at home. 3 kg will not build much mass, unfortunately. There are some things you can do with your body weight, however, and I think there may be a thread on that topic somewhere on the board...........

(Hard to write with a cat on my chest...)

Well I'm heading to the gym, I'm just warming up my muscles for now. And also building up my courage and knowledge about weightlifting.

He really was a great comedian. It's so sad, that he passed away so early.

Oh well, hi. I'm a beginner bodybuilder from Finland and have been vegan for four years now. Thought I'm not the best kind of advert to veganism, since I'm pretty skinny (5'9" and 123 lb). So therefore I have decided to make a change in that and I'm here to get some ideas about nutrition and weightlifting.

It's not just about looking good, though nothing looks as good as well-trained muscles. But the whole point is to feel good and gain some (massive!) strength into my skinny, tiny arms and legs. I have been in a gym before and done some weightlifting regularly and I did get some muscles back then, but now there're gone and I'd like to get them back - bigger and better.

Currently I don't train at a gym but I train at home traditional push-ups, sit-ups, squats and such. And I have two 3kg (~6lb?) dumb-bells here, but they're not really helping that much.

(I got hooked up to this forum after I saw some good-looking women and men posting here and I just had to register. )

Okay, not just for that.
