⏩ Good Macros for Vegan Athletes ▫️ For non-athletes or “normal” people I recommend less protein, more around 10%. I’m sure a lot of you think even 15% is little protein but it is more than enough. 🙌🏼 ▫️ It is much more important to eat a variety of healthy whole plant foods which consist mostly of complex carbohydrates and provide us with everything that is essential like vitamins, minerals, fiber, and yes protein too. ▫️ All plant foods contain protein. 🙌🏼 ▫️ Some might say 20% of fat is too high and for some people that is true. Experiment with what works best for you. I feel great with a little bit more healthy fats and I believe that is also true for most people. 20% is also still fairly low fat. ▫️ ⚠️ Important: Don’t see foods as simply macronutrients because every whole food contains all macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) but rather focus on eating healthy plant foods and that automatically gives you a ratio of mostly carbs, moderate protein and fat. 👌🏼 ▫️ So don’t focus on numbers too much but rather on WHAT YOU EAT. Eat out of these food groups every day: fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts & seeds. ▫️ ⚠️ Important: Don’t be too strict. It doesn’t really matter if you hit one day 9% protein and on the next day 20% protein. Just focus on a healthy weekly/monthly balance. As long as your main calories come from a variety of whole plant foods you are all good and don’t need to make it extra complicated. 💚 ▫️ If you want more advice on this in much greater details I highly recommend you my ebook: The Vegains Nutrition Guide vegains.org 💪 ▫️ Credit: ➡ @vegainstrength ▫️ Follow 👥, Like ♥️, Share 🔄 & Comment 📝 #macronutrition #fats #protein #carbs #carbohydrates #vegan #vegans #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #veganism #veganlife #plants #healthyfoods #fruit #plantbaseddiet #organic #govegan #nutrition #veganathlete #veganfoods #foodratio #veggies #knowledgeispower #health #fitness https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsCyvnAEtk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=25hsldojurvo
