I've just recently gone vegan and I'm trying to stick to the HCLF lifestyle. Does anyone have any tips about how to maintain this diet and hiw to know what foods (that are HCLF) to eat?

    Yeah but only the nuts and avocados in your post are actual food. The rest are processed chemicals.

    Hello! I am (very strictly speaking) a vegetarian, although my diet consists 95% of vegan foods. I aim to consume between 1800-1900 calories per day at a ratio of 40% Carb/30% Fat/30% Protein. This is an optimal nutrient ratio for me as I am trying to grow muscle while staying lean. I'd imagine you want a slightly different ratio for a HCLF diet --80C/10F/10P; 75C/15F/15P.

    I am pretty new to myfitnesspal, so my 'food diary' is relatively sparse. Regardless, I'll direct you to a couple days where I had higher Carb:Fat days. This will show you how you can eat somewhat HCLF meals. Unfortunately, I under-ate on some of these days, so my calorie counts are low, but the HCLF principle is still there. Bananas, oatmeal, quinoa, salad mixes, broccoli, sauteed pepper/onion mixes, yogourt, green beans, peas, bean sprouts, rice cakes, and Green Giant "Japanese Mix" bags make up most of my HCLF foods. A relatively HCLF meal I regularly make is a giant sauteed mix of broccoli, pepper, onion, green beans, peas, bean sprout, cucumber, edamame and carrot. Subtract the edamame (it has lots of healthy fat) and you have a super healthy HCLF meal.

    Check out my food diary for more in-depth details. Here, you can see the actual carb and fat counts per food-item and per meal. In particular, check the days of Mar 27, Mar 31, April 1, April 2, April 7.

    Sorry to ramble! Hope this helps :)

    I was already establishing a healthier lifestyle by going vegan but I hope to actually lose weight through high carb low fat. Also, this diet really helps me restrict vegan junk food, peanut butter, and oils.
