Help with metabolism reset while living plant-based

72MonteCarla

Hi. I am attempting to do a metabolism reset - eating at TDEE for 8-12 weeks. My issue is that I am living a low fat/sodium plant-based, whole foods life and am having a very difficult time reaching TDEE. I am trying to keep a balanced menu, so I want to avoid just adding high fat calories such as avocados and nuts.

I have blogged about my plant-based & metabolism reset experiences thus far here:

Any advice on how to get to 2250 calories worth of healthy foods is appreciated!

Maybe this will help.

I'm still trying to raise calories in a healthy way also and making fruit smoothies and adding chia seeds, carob powder and a Tblsp of coconut oil helps. Coconut oil is actually very good for you, so I've been reading..
