I’ve been wondering about alcohol consumption in my life. What does a healthy consumption of alcohol look like? Is it complete abstinence or is it still considered normal and healthy to have a few drinks to celebrate life 2-3 times a year? Nutritionfacts.org always makes sure to remind me that “alcohol is bad for you” so I always feel guilty. How often do you people drink or do you not drink at all? My birthday is coming up and I was contemplating on should I break my zero tolerance policy or should I just have fun without it (which is also fine imo) ☺️ thoughts?

Hi folks! I've just started counting my macros and I'm unsure how to measure TVP, whether I should do it when it's dry or when it's been rehydrated. Could anyone help me out?

I’m about to embark on my first seitan attempt. I’m a big fan of my instant pot. Has anyone made seitan in the instant pot? If so can you share a tried and true recipe? submitted by /u/Ididntasktobehere96 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm 16 years old, been vegan for almost 9 years. I've always been skinny and struggled to gain weight my entire life, despite working out a lot and trying to eat as much as I could (I suspect the main culprit is the fact that I run track and cross country year-round). Recently I got sluggish and lost some weight. Now I've gotten sick and lost 10 lbs over the weekend, so I'm sitting around 120 lbs right now (I'm 5'9" btw). I feel super weak and tired. I need to regain this weight (hopefully getting up to 145lbs by summer). Does anyone have any advice to help me? I'm not looking for the usual ..read more

hey all, long time lurker, first time poster (hopefully i do this right! :3). i've been having trouble with a weight loss plateau and it's really starting to annoy me, so i wanted to ask for some advice. i (27F, 5'1") started my health journey in may 2023 at 172 lbs, and am now down to 139lbs. i've been religiously using cronometer and a fitbit since then to keep track of food intake, macros, and exercise and it's helped a lot. i've had steady weight loss of around 1lb per week, sometimes with a week long plateau before i'd start losing weight again. however, i've hit a plateau and have bounc ..read more

I’m trying to eat more protein, but it seems like whenever I go out of my way to eat more protein-filled foods I get hemorrhoids…any solution to this? Context: I weigh 175ish and take about 80-100 grams a day. Maybe more, maybe less, I don’t usually track my intake. submitted by /u/GreatGoodBad [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been vegan now for almost a month, and my schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of workouts during the week, but I try to hit light strength/body weight workouts 3-5 times a week. I know I’m a bit behind my sleep, but I’ve been feeling so worn out and sore the next day. What are your favorite/best go-to foods to replenish energy and prevent fatigue? I’ve been adding in vegan protein smoothies with frozen fruit and almond milk but am looking for more variety! Ty!!! submitted by /u/EtudePrincess [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
