I usually use pf changs as a rough estimate. I'm not sure if there's any better chains to use for estimates, though. https://www.pfchangs.com/nutrition/main-menu

Leangains(ish).

That's not true, it varies on a state by state basis (although in no states is the requirement anywhere near as high as a rd program).

I weigh mine frozen, cook them, and then subtract the weight of the packaging for the steam-in-bag ones. If it's not a steam in bag package, then weigh it frozen outside of the packaging.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4690088/ The present systematic review of 16 studies has demonstrated a moderately beneficial effect of oats intake on glycemic control and lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review of oats consumption in patients with…

I've never had it, and certainly i'd prefer a nut butter/chocolate combo to not have sugar and oil as the first 2 ingredients, but I dunno ... it seems fine to me, if it is within your calories, and you're meeting the rest of your micro nutrient and macro needs.

It's likely because they were basing their request on an untrue assumption (that any specific macros - carbs in this case - are particularly good or bad for weight loss). If they had said they were following a low carb diet, and wanted low carb bread options to go with their veggie burger, they would have gotten a…

I've never put butter in oatmeal, so I can't compare, but I often pick one of blueberries, strawberries, or peanut flour/pb2 to go with my oatmeal.

soy mocha frapp, no whip. However, I don't have it often (not worth the calories).

I just do the best estimate I can and usually assume 1k calories. I generally opt for vegan-friendly indian food or jinya, but that's mostly because I really like spicy food.

I prefer 1 + snacks, but I suspect most people stick to a traditional 3 meals a day + maybe a snack or two.

Carbs aren't really needed, so if you're going to get rid of anything, carbs are usually a pretty good place to start for most people. Protein and fat, on the other hand, are both necessary. Certainly you don't have to get rid of carbs, and there's nothing wrong with them, but there's nothing wrong with stocking to a low…

The only study I saw was pretty awful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5448202/

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Dietetic Association (along with many other similar organizations) don't agree. It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health…

I like cheap lazy vegan (youtube) for simple meal ideas.

Maybe it's vegan heresy, but for protein, I generally find tofu to be pretty mediocre. If I need extra, I almost always opt for seitan -- just keep in mind that it has no tryptophan (the tryptophan in wheat is contained in the non-gluten parts).

If you have it with vitamin c, it's absorption is only a little bit less than heme iron (heme iron doesn't benefit from vitamin c). non-heme iron is present in animal products as well (it has both generally with more non-heme iron than heme iron).

I like bean based pastas (either tolerant or pow) and I keep eden beans (kidney, black, aduki usually) on hand for when i'm too lazy to cook from dry.

45mg is the recommended UL, so you probably don't want to exceed that. 175% rda is around 32mg. You should be fine. Keep in mind that a lot of the items in the mfp database aren't accurate, so unless you entered all your items in yourself to ensure accuracy, I wouldn't personally put too much faith in your vitamin status…

My two powder preferences are orgain and vega. I usually use vega for the extra nutrition, but I like the taste of orgain a bit better.

http://veganhealth.org/ is a great evidence based health resource for vegans

mfp. c25k, and happyscale are all I have

If you're close to normal weight, then you'll probably want to adjust weight loss goal to 0.5lb or so per week.

Pulses (usually kidney beans or black beans), Nuts, Peas, Peanut Butter, Mushrooms, occasionally seitan or protein powder, and a bit of protein here and there from vegetables.

All you need is a calorie deficit, and there's no harm in excess protein consumption (again, assuming you're in a deficit). If anything, consumption of protein and fiber has a slight advantage due to the thermal effect of food.

Dry frying helps somewhat with that.

It's just a logging tool. Relative to the logging tool a lot of vegans use, it has a much larger database of items, but it lacks the micronutrient breakdown that other tool has.

possibly satay with no/light sauce or pad ped...or both

I do IF, and enjoy it. However, I treat it strictly as an adherence helping protocol and don't expect anything more from it. The science is a bit mixed, and most of the studies haven't used the leangains protocol, which is the version most people seem to be using.
