Vegan, low fodmap struggle...
So recently, the last 3 months I've been eating low fodmap foods. This since an increase in calories to stop weight loss and facilitate my needs for training. I used to suffer badly with bloating and gas prior to going vegan, then at 2800 cals wholefood plant based I was fine. However, the calorie increase caused the old…

TDEE data and questions based on calculations
Hi All, Here is a screenshot of 9 weeks of MFP analysis and I'd like to get some thoughts from people on where I should consider setting my maintenance cals or TDEE. When I initially started on MFP again, I set my goals at weight loss to lose around 4kg, probably a bit too aggressively and so over time I have change my…

Diet, what is falling off the wagon?
I've been tracking my food and macros for 14 weeks or so now, I'm on a mostly wholefood plant based diet, have had maybe 2 beers in that time (stubbies, not pints) and eaten fairly consistently well. At time I might eat two Nakd bars (for those in the UK) a day and I wonder how much that is like falling off the wagon? What…

Athlean X 22 days push-up and pull-up routines
Hi, Has anyone tried these? Did you do on consecutive days? Seems to suggest from the YouTube videos that it is 3 weeks to complete, however, is it wise to do these every day? Or should it be every other day? Thanks

Runner, vegan and back on MFP after a few years away..
Hi All, It's been a while since I used MFP, prior to this stint of logging for 13 days I have not been around since 2015 - it is good to be back! I enjoy running, having run in quite a few marathons and have been vegan for around 3 years now - hopefully not the only one on here. Since going vegan, eating mostly wholefoods,…

Shoulder discomfort at the bottom of pull ups
Hi, I've recently been following the 20 pull up progression challenge so that I can prepare for RR while I'm finishing another workout programme. The last two time I've done pull ups or negatives I have been getting a sharp pain in the side of my shoulder, the deltoid muscle. I've done the rotator cuff tests, plus multiple…

Garmin recording and calorie adjustments
So today like most days I've a calorie allowance of 1560 minus food cals and plus exercise cals. I use Garmin to record my exercise and it also records steps. Today if done 13k steps, with no adjustment in MFP, other days I do less and get an adjustment, so what triggers it? The adjustment is usually less than 100 cals.…

Changed goal from 1kg a week to 0.75kg with zero weight loss
So over the last week I have changed my goal weight loss from 1kg a week, which I had achieved for 4 weeks, to 0.75kg a week as I started the T25 Beta cycle (half way through week 2) which adds light weights to the programme not used on Alpha. Anyone think I may have stabilized due to adding muscle? I've not changed my…

Dietary fat, busting macros..
Hi As I'm vegan, I'm using protein powder and eating a lot of tempeh to hit my protein goals each day. My macros are set as; 25% protein 25% fat and 50% carbs I'm currently on a slight deficit of calories to try and reduce body fat % a bit while easing back to running and doing BW training/T25. Each day I hit or exceed…

When to change targets?
Hi All, I've written this elsewhere, so sorry to be a bore but maybe not everyone will see the original post. To keep it brief, marathon runner for many years (vegan last 2.5yrs), not even really worrying about calories but eating fairly well - hit goal marathon time April 2019 (2:59), then a new baby arrived, running…

Multivitamins and Minerals
Hi, I've not been putting my daily multivit into my food diary, is it something others do? I ask as I'm never completely convinced by supplementation, for example, my vits have 14mg of Iron, which is 100% of the RDA, however, Iron absorption is compromised by Calcium which is also in the vits and at 15% of RDA.

Vegan protein powder UK - no junk/additives?
Hi Can anyone recommend a vegan protein powder please? I'm not concerned about flavours, just something to boost protein after workouts. I eat a lot with foods (tofu/tempah/beans/lentils etc) however, I'm always about 20-30g short daily on MFP. I'm mostly wholefood plant based, so I want something which is wholefood if…
