I'm pretty okay with people at the tails of the risk distribution curve paying more or less than the average (depending on which side they are on).

Sure, but the primary referenced thread was not in the debate forum, so a more generalized reply seemed appropriate. Obviously, any statement is free to be challenged in the debate forum.

In isolation, maybe. However, in my experience if the answer isn't for ethical reasons or specific health reasons, that shouldn't be seen as an invitation to a debate about their woe and the question certainly puts me on edge when i'm not really looking for a debate (I do think it's more appropriate when they're just…

Before taxing products, maybe we should consider whether or not we really need to subsidize agriculture products, and see if we can get good results by just letting everything cost the fair market value, instead of taking advantage of artificially low corn prices.

I don't think it's to necessarily avoid using the term vegan, but rather to be clear that you're only adhering to the dietary restrictions of a vegan, but are not actually vegan (eg: you might still use leather or other animal products in everyday life).

In none of those cases is it appropriate if they've already made up their mind. If they are merely considering it, then sure that's different. However, challenging their preference for your preference doesn't seem appropriate, particularly when your preference has no physiological advantage. Context matters.

I've had cacao (don't like it) and salted caramel (it's ok). It's not my preferred powder, though, and it takes way too long to ship to the US for me to purchase again. The main thing it has going for it is the calories per g of protein is quite low.

Sodium has no impact on fat (only water retention) so I wouldn't worry about it much. I'd give it at least a week or two, though.

For weight loss, no. However, I do use it to meet dietary fat minimums sometimes.

If you like it, things like vegetarian indian food is a great choice since a lot of choices are designed to be meat-free, instead of just a meat containing recipe with the meat removed. I'm also a big fan of hotforfood's youtube channel, but that's fully vegan, so it might not be your thing (it's also not aiming to be low…

I also sometimes don't reach reasonable amounts of dietary fat. I personally opt for 85-91% dark chocolate or nut butter, but you'll need to allocate more than 50C. I don't like using things like oil because if i'm going to have to allocate a lot of calories to dietary fat, it should at least taste good to me :smile:

I think it'll depend on the viewer. They're fine for me, and I enjoy watching them and other things like fitness youtubers doing cheat days and so forth. I could see how they could cause problems with adherence in some, though.

Plant based whole food proteins are probably your best choice, since they tend to be primarily carb/protein combos instead of fat/protein combos. Things like brussel sprouts, peas, lentils, beans, etc. I think most people treat fat limits as minimums and not targets, though, so there's not really a strong reason to limit…

Orgain tastes pretty good as far as mass market plant based powders go (especially the PB flavor). Additionally, I think vivolife salted caramel tastes good (but I don't like raw cacao). Not sure how widely available vivolife is in the uk (strictly online in the US, but since they're a uk company, I thought maybe it's…

Due to bioavailability, vegans need a bit more protein (as do those older) but 1.0g/lb goal weight(ish) should more than cover it since exceeding 0.8g/lb is often not beneficial for omnis, at least for most of the population bell curve. If consuming powder, I personally opt for pea/rice blends or another blend which fixes…

Trend tracking tools like trendweight work nice with it

Hanging leg raises

If you mean from the recent list, you can't other than going to your previous entries and deleting every instance of those foods.

It's not available retail (as far as I know), but I like LivWell Nutrition's protein, especially the coconut flavor. Barring that, i'll use gold standard's plant based protein sometimes or orgain.

If you don't like tofu, give seitan a try. There's also a lot of (pretty highly processed) meat substitutes composed of a variety of things (soy, seitan, and pea protein being the big 3) which can help you reach your protein goals (especially if calories get pretty low).

Going vegetarian doesn't have any advantages in fat loss. However, that said, in your condition i'd just work on eliminating meat, and replacing it with higher protein plant foods (especially legumes, tofu, seitan, etc). If you're so inclined, you can work on reducing your consumption of eggs and dairy if you want to go…

sodium, but enter the right amount by using a salt to sodium calculator.

This is a dumb question, but do I need to keep my phone with my for walk to mordor, or will it sync with apple health and pull steps from my apple watch (or other apple health compatible devices).

Beans of various kinda have pretty healthy amounts of iron. Remember to pair non-heme iron with vitamin c to increase absorption. I'd especially not recommend raw spinach as a source of iron due to the oxalate content but it's fine if cooked.

Fat has 9 calories per g and Carbs and Protein have 4.

As far as I can tell, plain nuts would be subject to the tax as well, so it wouldn't necessarily have to be processed (assuming it's really just a calories per 100g threshold).

Unfortunately, it's a correlation study based on food diaries. That's not really a study that can determine a causal relationship -- you need metabolic ward studies for that. The fact that the correlation wasn't even identified when the protein wasn't animal derived sort of makes it seem out of place on a vegan protein…

At least halo top isn't junk food, since it's like 109-127C/100g. Clearly more wholesome than junk food like pumpkin seeds and almonds. No doubt this will solve the obesity problem :smile:

The RDA is not appropriate when you're on a calorie deficit, and will often result in lean mass loss. 0.7/lb is generally the minimum recommended on a deficit, with 0.8 - 1.0/lb if you'reon a strength program (on the higher side if you're older, or consuming mostly plant proteins due to the slightly lower bioavailability…
