edited November 2024 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I’ve noticed that there aren’t many bodybuilding vegans using MFP, so I’m hoping to contribute to others out there who are looking for inspiration, motivation, or ideas.

I normally lift weights but not for the purpose of body, but since using MFP I’ve noticed that I’m at a protein deficit. It helped me increase my protein intake which I started this week. I always log all my meals and exercises and I’m hoping to notice changes soonnn

    You also have a thread about losing weight....

    Gaining muscle and losing weight are conflicting goals. Pick one!

    Personally, I'd lose weight first, but make sure you're eating sufficient protein; aim for 0.8g per lb of body weight, and doing resistance training to help maintain your muscle. Once you've leaned down, either recomp or eat at a small surplus to grow...

    Try pea protein for protein it's really good and high in protein and incorporating it into things like smoothies makes a really. Nice addition to the foods
