im realising now the weight definitley has something to do with it! I dont drink calorie beverages EVER, i drink only water and one coffee a day and i account for that. I also dont eat salad dressings or condiments. These are usually non vegan and contain nasties which i dont want in my body.

i really wish more people were reading what i was writing :S Im not cranky or tired, i just need to know what to do better. im getting there. I just amended my goal in my diary to 5000kjs which is about 1200 calories?? thats got to be better and healthier right??? Anyway, thank you again to all.

wow!! so informative...i never knew all of this stuff!! thank you thank you thank you....i am readjusting everything now accordingly. Cant say thank you enough.

thank you for the lovely advice, i *do* take a b12 supplement because i have been deficiant before. With proteins i know i eat lentils, tempeh and peas but i dont think i eat enough....i really need to readjust my thinking by the looks of it... thank you again so much :)

i just did this and these are my results: Your BMR is:1876 Your TDEE is:2251

i just opened my diary...its not very long in terms of days that ive had entried because im just new but...go for it!!!

oh thats great advice!!! thank you!!! :)

i never said i was eating only 800 calories a day??? On very rare ocassion i was but mostly maintained around the 4500kj mark.... i didnt come here to have anyone tell me to get real. I came for help. Help is what i am getting from other members. Thank you.

wow thank you so much!!!!!!!

I will! I have no idea what those are, I'll have a look :)

Pardon?

i just do cardio at home

oh no no, im not buying any products....im just eating a completly plant based diet. I dont consume animals or any animal products. I do, however, need to lose extra kilos, doing this on a vegan diet can be difficult and confusing about how much i should eat!!! lol im eating for health :)

Melbourne girl!!!!!

youre right....its hard though because i feel so good??!!!! I get 7 hours sleep, i drink water, im happy, i dont feel tired or dizzy and i dont get sick. I just thought i was listening to my body :(

hmm good point!!!! i didnt think of it like that

thank you!! I keep forgetting to be aware of it, i know its important!! Im vegan for both reasons. I dont believe consuming animals and animal products is healthy. But...lets not start that discussion!

protein is difficult for vegans yes...im still learning. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone recommended pea protein? Any takers??

i have nooooooooooooooooo idea. I just know the last 3 years ive slowly gained about 15-20 VERY unwanted kilos. I used to eat whatever i wanted and i looked and felt great!!! That was when i worked in the hotel indsustry and i was running around for 8 hours like a maniac. Boom. I get a desk job, i didnt change what i was…

i thought about that to be honest and i got a little scared thinking...if im doing this now what happens when that time comes?!!!!! It scared me, i felt lost and unsure what the hell id do because i really am trying. More than anything im eating for health, losing weight is a very verrrrrrrry close second. Im just trying…

its a little difficult for me being in Australia, a lot of the places i eat arent in the database. I really actually do try so hard to be accurate with it. Especially with the portions i really do try. I shall have to take another angle!! Thank you again. I probably have incorrectly selected a couple of entries here and…

I just opened my diary. Go have a look. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Like I said before, I feel full, I have lots of energy, I don't feel dizzy or sick.

Probably a month?? I don't mean to trash it. I was just doing what I thought was right. I'm not tired or exhausted, I'm not dizzy, I'm never sick. I don't see the problem. :( I didn't mean to come across like an idiot. Sorry

Yup! I consume probably about 850-900 on an average day. Some days more, maybe 1020? I have had low days where I didn't mean to but I consumed maybe only 850?? My weight in kgs is about 118 currently. I'll try to open my diary now...I'm not sure how to do it. Lemme try!

Thank to so much for the reply! I'm 5'3 and am not sure about my weight in pounds. I think 200 sounds right. Thank you again so much for your time! Look I think I'm consuming much less than I'm burning. I have a very sedentary job but try to be active in the evenings and afternoons but it's difficult. Which is why I think…
