Hello! This is my first post here on the forums. I recently decided to make the switch to being vegan and while so far I am thoroughly enjoying the lifestyle, I am completely lost with my macros. I am not new to bodybuilding I have been lifting for almost two years now and was in the middle of a cut when I switched over to a vegan diet. I was cutting on a standard 40/40/20 macro split, c/p/f respectively, eating the standard bodybuilding foods, brown rice chicken breast etc. I have been wanting to make the switch to a vegan diet for a while for the usual reasons, health reasons, disgusting meat and dairy industry, but I was always afraid I would lose my mass and would not be able to lift effectively. Upon some more research I learned that this is in fact not true at all and also read about how I don't need as much protein as I thought I did. So for the past few weeks I've been eyeballing my foods and haven't really set up any strict macros or guidelines as I wanted to give my body time to adjust to the diet. Now I am gearing up for my lean bulk in a few weeks and I want to finish my cut strong before I transition. So my questions for you guys are the following: What kind of macros do you vegan bodybuilders run on a cut? What kind on a bulk? I'm setting my protein much lower than I previously have at .8 grams per lb. of bodyweight, this seems low to me but from my research it seems like this will be more than enough. What do you guys think? Also, I'm a little concerned about keeping my fat intake so low, i have heard that this can mess with my hormone levels, any insight into this? Any help or information regarding these subjects is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
