That's why my DS is on lockdown until my papers are done...

Thanks for the advice y'all! @gio14 doing 5x5 now and it's good, saves me so much time at the gym as well thanks!

Thanks! I've bulked in the past, but I wasn't sure if the difference. I even read that you eat slightly above but just do lower, heavier reps.

I've been vegan for almost a year now, and lately have been pretty adamant about building up my strength. Don't have any body building goals, but I love to workout and exercise!

"30 day Vegan Challenge" is a good book to check out, and http://veganhealth.org/ is a great resource for any health questions about a vegan diet. Ever since I started logging in my food I was shocked at the amount of nuitrients I was getting from food alone and somedays not even with fortified foods or any vitamins. I'm a…

It's hard to ignore the ethical side of food, I feel you. Been vegan for almost a year now and have done so on a college student budget, feel free to add me!

I've found it to be very beneficial, and I'm a cheap-*kitten* college student and have no prolem with reaching my nutritional and caloric goals. Protein is no problem at all, I don't even use protein powder at all anymore. It's in everything from grains, legumes, veggies & nuts. Plus you'll be doing the animals and planet…

Personally that sounds like WAY too much protein, should only be around 15% of your calories, even for building muscle. Too much can be stressful on your body in the long run.

As a naturally skinny guy, I've had great success with gaining weight & muscle on a vegan diet. My personal favorites were oatmeal, bananas, soy milk, flax seeds, sweet potatoes, and of course PB!

Agree with everything you said. And if it's bread carbs you're avoiding fruit is an excellent option. I'm a huge fan of soynuts, they're full of protein and can even make your own from soy beans http://www.food.com/recipe/roasted-soy-nuts-280911. I suggest Pintrest if you haven't already, literally hundreds of ideas. Also…

Good work!

I also have the same problem with a full stomach, I hate the feeling. You can bypass it though by adding toppings to your foods (cheese, butter, dressing, peanut butter, etc.). Also try to avoid drinking large quantities of liquids before a meal to save room for the solids. Drinking high calorie juices also help, but I…

I hope that you can get back to a healthy weight along with everyone else. We all joined these forums for support so we should give it to each other as much as we can!

Thanks! I'm just trying not to sweat the small stuff anymore and be worry-free again.

Hi my name is Jordan Lombardo I'm a 21 new student at NIU, and I was recommended to this site by my doctor. Through a combination of a high metabolism, genetics, mental anguish, and I admit, some nervous OCD about nutrition I am currently underweight and trying to get back up to a healthy weight. My goal is to try to get…
