Hey. So, I’ve been vegan for 7 years, vegetarian for 6 years before that. I recently started using my fitness pal to track fitness and calories over the last 4 months. I’m interested in what other vegans nutrition looks like. I’m big on whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, & just all around healthy eating. I’ve noticed my carbs are around 300g per day, fiber is about 50-60g, and protein is 80-90g. This is on a roughly 2,000 cal diet. 5 foot 9 woman 145 pounds.

My calorie intake varies throughout the year depending on what type of race I'm training for, but right now I'm averaging about 2,200 calories a day. Carbohydrates are around 280 grams, fiber is around 45, and protein is 75.
Are you sure your carbohydrates are right? Carbohydrates are about 4 calories per gram, so 500 grams a day would be 2,000 calories all by itself.1 -
Oops you’re right @janejellyroll I meant to say 300g of carbs & I should’ve mentioned I’m set to 2030 calories but I also eat back my workout calories1
