Lol. I was doing this to figure out the caloric content of the foods I eat regularly to ensure I was getting enough of each macro nutrient. I am not counting calories now, I just wanted to do that as a method of insurance. I have a fast metabolism and have in the past had trouble putting on weight and muscle.

I made a diet plan. I made a list of foods (and their caloric content for macro/fitness purposes). This made is easier to grocery shop. Then I added up caloric content of specific foods and added them with the recipes to find out my total. This made is easy to know I was getting enough calories. Oh She Glows is a blog FULL of AWESOME vegan recipes. She also has a book titled Oh She Glows. SO much good stuff in there. As for snacks - nuts toasted with cinnamon and stevia or fruit or something along those lines.

Has anyone had this issue when calculating their macros? Take the label for a popular brand of coconut milk Calories: 70 Total Fat: 4.5 Total Carb: 8 Protein: 0 No alcohol is in the coconut milk, so total fat + total carb = total calories. Total Fat: 4.5*9 = 40.5 Total Carb: 8*4 = 32 40.5+32 = 72.5 According to the label there is a discrepancy here. Now, for one part of my diet this doesn't necessarily bother me, but there are the same discrepancies found even in the FDA nutrition facts for nuts, fruits, and veggies. This really throws off my macro calculations. New to the whole calorie counting as I am trying to be more diligent about discovering my particular needs. Can anyone help me with this?

I'm based in California. This is Europe only.

I'm a new, transitional vegan. Right now, I've cut out cheese and eggs but stuck on whey. Looking for vegan protein powder for pre/post workout. Was hoping someone here could give me some advice on the best overall vegan protein powder that combines pea, hemp, and brown rice. Preferably this supplement would be all-natural, and maybe even organic (but I won't push it). It also wouldn't be too expensive - hopefully. I'm cool if it includes chia and flax too. I've read the perfect combination is pea, hemp, and brown rice for essential amino acid profile. I'm looking for something that can rival and really replace whey. The market for this is bloated and I can't decide which one is best. They all say they are fantastic, but was hoping someone real could give me an answer.
