Hi all...
I am a high carb vegan and I was wondering for some insight on other vegans daily calorie intake and activity levels? Thanks

    I'm pretty small (5'0-95 lbs)and sedentary, I usually eat to maintain as I don't want to lose any weight from where I'm at or I will look scary, I eat 1800 ish calories

    Vegan at 4'11'', 108lb and at 54 mfp says I should be on 1200 calories to lose less than half a pound a week but I eat much more than this most days. Diary's set as mfp recommends (50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein) and usually I meet or go over these, especially carbs. Currently temporarily inactive due to a sprain but I used to walk about an hour a day and do cardio or use an elliptical for about two hours a week; really missing the exercise. The lowest I've ever got to was 97lb by eating about 1100 cals a day but looked too thin at that weight.

    Veganish, with yoghurt.

    My BMR is ~ 1500 kCal a day for a 57 y/o male 166 cm tall, 130 lbs.
    Winter snow days I don't bike ride and then am pretty sedentary. Other days I usually exercise 250 - 750 kCal.

    Daily calories and activity/exercise is not Vegan dependent -- it works the same for everybody.

    So .. what is your question ?

    I'm high carb vegan with an open diary. I aim for1300 net cals per day to loose 0.5lbs a week. I at least have a 30 min walk per day and goto the gym/swim 4-5 times a week and eat back around half of my exercise calories :)

    My diary is mostly high carb, all vegan. I think I have set to friends only but I will add anyone interested. I'm still looking to loose weight, but maybe not over winter. I maintain at about 2000, 5'2" 133lb
