What's everyone's thoughts on coffee/caffeine? I love my morning coffee but I'm not sure if it's serving me...

Is there a good app you all use for tracking meals, calories, nutrients; etc? Last time I was doing it we used MyFitnessPal, but that’s been a while. Bonus pics of me and the wife in Columbus, OH this weekend, eating at 4th & State Diner, a super delicious vegan restaurant downtown.

You're going through a breakup, someone you love died, you lost your job, or it feels like the world is crumbling around you. That isn't to make light of what you're going through. But often the hardest seasons of our lives become the ones that shape us the most. For me, losing my dad and losing a relationship that was tied to my identity forced me to grow into a different version of myself. Looking back, those losses were painful, but they also helped create opportunities for growth that I never would have experienced otherwise. I've come to believe that we don't just go through hard things, we can grow through them. What loss, setback, or difficult season have you grown through, and what did it teach you?

What do yall think about the 80/10/10 diet? (80% calories from carbs, 10% fat, 10% protein).

I think it comes down to what are your goals, but also, what are you currently eating? A lot of vegans are eating things like beans, nuts, peanut butter, oats, whole grains, and they're saying this is how I get my protein on a vegan diet. And the detail we should pay attention to is, those foods listed above are comprised of more than just protein. When you get nuts, you're getting more fat than protein. When you're eating beans, you're getting more carbs than protein. And so, you're setting yourself up for a not-a-very-high-protein diet. So, how much protein do you need? I still believe it depends on your goals. If you're just trying to live to a ripe old age, 50 grams of protein a day is probably great for most. But if you're really trying to build muscle, if you want to grow in the gym, if you want to start hitting PRs, if you want to stop being skinny fat, I stick with the tried-and-true 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of body weight per day. It seems to be working really well. I've done it with myself, with other pro-level vegan bodybuilders, and over 500 clients. If someone you know haven’t yet seen my High-Protein Vegan Recipes book, grab it here: https://vegansquadcoaching.com/cookbook I’d love to know what your favorite source of protein is currently!
