Just Another Vegan Athlete

After spending years being ill, I finally found that a vegan, gluten-free diet works the best for me and my body. Trying to accommodate that to being an athlete was a little tricky. I think I've finally managed. All recipes will be gluten-free, vegan,...

I get full off of 1500 cals a day but the thing is im pretty active. I workout in the am(1hr), 5K in afternoon, 45 mins of sprints or field hockey at night. I have half a watermelon for bfast, some grapes throughout the day, and a large salad w rice and lots of greens for dinner; i also dont eat after my night sprints or field hockey because i et back around 11 and am not hungry nor do i wanna eat that late. I stay hydrated and all but im just not hungry. Is this ok?

As long as you feel okay (emotionally and physically) you might be fine. I can’t answer that question with any assurance though as I’m not you and I don’t have your body. If you’re worried about, go talk to a nutritionist, a doctor, or whatever. It does seem a little low to me and lacking in certain nutrients but again, my body doesn’t function the way your body does so I don’t know.

Help! Did you have any trouble with amenorrhea when you went vegan? How did you solve it or do you have any advice for solving it?

Amneorrhea is generally caused by too low of a body fat percentage. I personally didn’t have problems with it due to a variety of things. I doubt veganism alone is the cause. I would go talk to a doctor soon.

Do you have cheat days? How often do you have cinnabon buns? :)

No I don’t have cheat days because eating is not cheating

The summer makes me so uncomfortable

I hate how every summer everyone decides to lose weight and get shredded

WHY CANT WE JUST BE HAPPY WITH OUR BODIES? LIKE YOU DONT NEED TO BE LEAN TO WEAR SHORTS OR A BIKINI OR A DRESS

WE DONT NEED TO CHANGE OUR BODIES JUST BECAUSE ITS SUMMER

The constant bulking/cutting/bulking/cutting mindset is actually extremely toxic

So here’s your reminder that you look perfectly fine and you don’t need to lose weight to wear your cute summer outfits

Okay bye
