Starting the V-Diet 12/15/08: Details and Questions

December 16th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

Hey, I am starting the V-Diet tomorrow and would like to clarify something before I dive in. My approach is going to involve one HSM per day (I want to eat with my family.) Is this sample non-training day seem legit?

SAMPLE NON TRAINING DAY (1450cal)

Shake 1 (2 scoops plus half serving of milled flax seeds) 255cal
Shake 2 (2 scoops) 210cal
Shake 3 (2 scoops plus half serving of milled flax seeds) 255cal

V-Diet Calculations Question

December 15th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

I'm thinking about doing the V-Diet in March (Need to save up funds for it) and it's looking like in order to meet my goals, I will be doing the second calculation for 30(+) lbs.

That's all good, but when looking at the recommended supplements (fish oil, flax, pb) I keep overshooting my total calories.

Obviously, one of the key components is getting 1 gram of protein per pound. Irregardless of where the protein comes from, I will be taking in 880 calories of protein. That only leaves me 370 calories for fat and fiber.

I can take in 30 grams of fat and 25 grams of carbs and not go over my calculations.

I guess my question is whether or not the '1 gram of protein per pound' is absolutely important, or if I could drop it down to say, .9 grams of protein (200 grams total) to place into my other macros.
