I'd think it'd be far cheaper to eat lentils, grains and beans from a than meat.

A dry pound of pinto beans, black beans, lima beans, lentils, peas, bean soup, and most grains like rice, quinoa etc etc cooks up to over 7 one cup servings, and that runs $1/per dry pound.

i'm fully supportive of your choice of diet, however this is funny right here.

btw, french fries and ketchup are totally vegan.

Haha, that is funny.
Yeah, but I don't eat fast food, anddd my mom wont let me use the oven in the summer. Haha.

you can make your own french fries... on a frying pan... on the stove... your mom won't let you use the stove in the summer?? how old are you??????

Can you? Without deep frying? Cause I don't eat anything deep fried.
Haha, 18.

And I do eat rice quite a bit, but it really heats up my house to cook, so I can't make it often.

Make a large batch one day a week and heat up the leftovers in the mircowave the rest of the week.

That's what I do. Because I hate cooking it all the time.

Never really thought about beans. Thanks.

you can make a baked potato/sweet potato in the microwave

bananas are about as cheap as you can get
my favorite way to eat them is in banana nice cream

You need to eat more than 1200 calories.

I'm vegan. Not much out there that I can afford. Hard to avoid dairy and meat. It's everywhere I go. I try though.

Excuses! There are so many things you can eat as a vegan to reach 1200 calories. My friend is vegan and she eats a hell of a lot of food. You can easily eat that much or more. Beans, veggie sandwiches (calorie dense bread), potatoes and rice (all high in calories), quesadillas, wraps, tacos, pastas....There are a ton of cheap high calorie vegan meals you can make.

Fair enough point. I don't really cook though. Not much time. And I don't eat fast food. EVER. So I usually just make a salad or fruit salad real quick, or grab a can of vegan soup from my pantry.

:huh: You are vegan and never thought about beans??????? It is one of the main sources of protein for vegans.

Pretty much. I know I probably sound pretty dumb on here, haha, but I'm kind of a picky eater. Don't really like beans so they stay off my mind.

jwooley13 · June 2014

I've never heard so many excuses in my life. I know plenty of vegans who get enough fat and protein in their diet and don't break the bank to do it. Food isn't sold by the calorie.

u don't have to change your values or starve. tinned kidney beans are really cheap and make nice vegan chilli or puree them make nice high protein mash. u cud post cheap vegan food question in another forum if u cant afford much. get a run tracking app n start brisk walk it will give u all the stats then go from there.

vegan, you're doing it wrong.

and there is nothing wrong with deep frying things. especially if you are cooking the right way. you don't have to drown the fries in oil. and use a proper healthy oil, like canola. do NOT deep fry in olive oil.

KylaDenay · June 2014

You should focus on getting your diet together before focusing on walking a certain amount of miles. You wouldn't be fueling your body with enough energy to sustain a lot of exercise. You will be sluggish, even as a vegan eating fruits, veggies and soup. Eat more whole grains. Almond butter and jelly sandwiches with your soup. One jar of almond butter maybe be pricey to you, but it will last a good month. For some.

endermako · June 2014

I'm pretty sure she is just a troll on here at this point. No one makes that many excuses and if you say you were only eating what you said you wouldnt have to worry about losing weight. So either you are lying about pretty much everything or you are a troll to the nth power...

Experts recommend that we ALL get 10,000 steps a day. It takes approximately 2000 steps to reach a mile. So ... 5 miles a day sounds great to me!

Well anything even slightly too oily gives me acne. And I'm not a big fan of eating anything greasy anyway, so I stay away from it.

I started out walking 1 mile for a half hour on my lunch, and over 6 months that became 6 mile hikes. You will see results for sure based on the activity you put in. I had to ramp up my knees, hips, joints and lungs but over time you will crave more and longer distances. Just get out there, put your feet on the ground and enjoy the trail - the fitness trackers help too because you can see how you've progressed over time and they can help keep you motivated. Good luck!

How many miles a day should I walk to make a difference?
