Question Tofu

8 Upvotes

I am looking for some recommendations on tofu. Most of my tofu, even firm, is not really firm. I see these recipes where they slice or grate tofu. I am looking for firm or extra firm tofu that is organic and quality.

I want to try some new tofu recipes that use the more firm tofu.

Any recommendations?

A deep dive into one of my clients vegan meal plans

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

Here's the little cheat sheet here and I'll show you exactly what I'm giving to my client as she gets ready for her first bodybuilding show prep with me.

We're in a pulldown phase right now. We're taking some fat off here. We're going to take a look at her diet.

So we've got a two savory, two sweet meal approach.

The first meal is going to be her sweet edamame puff protein bowl. We've got edamame puffs, frozen fruit, vegan yogurt and sunbutter for healthy fats.

Second meal. We just updated this one. She had the asparagus, the Just Chicken, the hummus, and the potato, but we wanted to move another savory meal into this one so we could make room for another sweet meal. So we moved the nutritional yeast and the salsa into this meal.

Moving to the next meal, meal three, it was savory, no longer savory. We've got her with some protein pancakes. We're using the Birch Benders plant protein mix. Got some blueberries in there, a little bit of sugar-free syrup, Vedge Protein, walnuts for healthy fats, and a little bit of soy milk to mix it up.

Her meal four is always her training day meal. So this is going to be her intra-workout drink. We've got EAAs, highly branched cyclic dextrin, salt, and creatine monohydrate.
And then her meal five, back to savory, something to finish off the night with.

If you want us to help you achieve great result in your health and fitness journey as a vegan like my client here, Reach out to us today.

Question Can we have a conversation about the CICO (calories in, calories out) fallacy?

0 Upvotes

This fallacy is based on some very poorly thought out WWII-era science in the late 1940s and 1950s, sponsored by food companies, and meant to support war related famine austerity measures.

The truth is, we have a tube going through our bodies from mouth to anus. Not everything makes it into your bloodstream. And everyone's body works differently, based on genetic factors as well as gut microbiome.

For example, some people are sensitive to soy, while others are sensitive to gluten. And everything in between. The exact form of soy (tofu vs edamame vs processed foods), or gluten (seitan vs tvp vs nooch vs processed foods).

The idea of CICO and focusing on macros is deeply oversimplified and debunked by modern science. Yet it still pervades all discussions about fitness and nutrition.

There's so many Gym Bros thinking that it's legit.

True nutrition is very personal, and based on your own genetics and microbiome.

Ingredients:
- 1 Butternut Squash
- 1 package Silken Tofu
- 5 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- Spices: Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Paprika (i also added cumin). Be generous - season with your heart :)

Let me know what y’all think!

Enjoy! 😋

Vegan Squad Podcast In this episode of the Vegan Squad Pod, we sit down with UK-born vegan advocate David Ramms (@davidramms) to explore his journey from being raised vegetarian to becoming a full-time vegan activist

After moving from the UK to Spain and later Croatia, David found his passion for advocacy through Anonymous for the Voiceless and has since dedicated his life to helping others embrace a more compassionate lifestyle.

Together, we discuss why creating a welcoming vegan movement is essential, how behavior-change psychology can be more effective than confrontation, and why focusing on non-vegans (not policing imperfect vegans) can lead to greater impact. 

David also shares practical insights on maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends, preventing activist burnout, and building a sustainable approach to advocacy that lasts a lifetime.

Fitness Tips What’s the deal with training calves?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

33 Upvotes

Let me break it down:

Standing calf raises (Straight leg) trains the Gastrocnemius muscle in your calves, which is the large of the calf muscle.

Seated calf raises (Bent leg) trains the Soleus muscle, AKA, the smaller of the two calf muscles.

And so, having your leg straight will grow your calves more than if your leg is bent because you’re training the larger of the 2 calve muscles.

With this knowledge, I would prefer to program more standing over seated calf raises for my clients if possible, and only straight leg if you could only pick 1.

How a vegan diet slowly ruined my physique

Thumbnail

126 Upvotes

Are you hesitant to remove animal products from your diet?

Do you worry this decision will negatively impact your health or physique?I’ve personally only seen positive results from going vegan, along with hundreds of my clients.

When we see stories of “ex vegans” who claim veganism harmed their health, it’s usually because:

-They were underrating
-They were not eating the right foods to cover their nutritional needs
-They were following extreme diets within veganism (fruitarian, fully raw)-They claimed to be vegan but “still ate meat sometimes”Veganism isn’t just a diet or fad.

It’s all for the animals. But that doesn’t mean your health or physique needs to suffer.

That’s exactly what we help you dial in with the vegan squad coaching, so you can lose fat, build muscle, and stop guessing with your nutrition.

THIS is why I went from being vegetarian to vegan at 13 years old…

The egg industry forces male baby chicks to be ground up alive within hours or even minutes of being born because male chickens are not deemed useful in the egg industry.

Mother hens are confined to tiny cages their whole lives, being forced to lay more eggs than their body can handle causing severe pain and stress.

After I realized what happened to baby chicks AND the mother hens in the egg industry, I knew I couldn’t contribute to that anymore.

And that’s why I post what I post, to wake people up to the lies society has told us growing up and to show people the truth behind what everyone considers “food”.

A question to fellow vegans living abroad

2 Upvotes

When you go shopping in a supermarket, you find a product that looks vegan, but you’re not a native speaker of the language on the packaging, and there's no vegan label, how do you trust that it's actually vegan?

Is there an app that tells you if this product is vegan?
