Episode description

FORMULA FOR GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN AS A VEGAN:

1. Know that you are beautiful and amazing and are only doing this to love and care for yourself and inspire people with your glowing radiant health and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or that needs fixing or to prove that you are good enough because you are already good enough. !!!
2. Calculate your protein needs:
- Calculate your weight in kg: ___ lbs divided by 2.2 = ___ weight in kg

- Fat Loss: 2-2.2g protein / kg body weight

- Bulking: 1.8-2g / kg body weight
3. Divide that by 3-5 meals / day to ensure you take in enough protein at each meal and track your intake with cronometer or myfitnesspal (I hold my clients accountable with a professional version of cronometer so I can track their intake and make necessary recommendations)
4. Plan! Have a protein meal within 1-3 hours around workout to ensure you have the amino acids in your blood stream to get to them muscles (basically don’t just eat 1-2 meals/ day, have protein throughout the day and esp. at least a few hours around a workout
5. Include “processed” foods like protein powders, bean pastas, mock meats, and of course unprocessed foods like beans and peas, lentils :P, seeds (I love sunflower and hemp seeds), nutritional yeast, and broccoliiiii
