bashathe1st asked:Nutrition program? So, I am interested in nutrition, and I just want to learn for myself (not planing to be a personal trainer, nutritionist..etc). I don't want to learn randomly by reading different books or blogs. I prefer structured programs to make sure that I will hit every necessary point. I am looking for a comprehensive online program that will help me to be able to design my own diet to fit my needs, make healthier choices, and be able to decide if a given diet is just fad or is worth following (with all these diets out there I just feel lost!). What do you suggest?
Zequez replied:I use [Cron-o-Meter](http://cronometer.com) to design the stuff I eat. It's awesome.

Leticia L. asked:Hey I've only been vegan for a little over a month, and while I personally feel better about my eating I find I've been completely drained and lacking vitamins! I was wondering if you guys know any places where I can get VEGAN vitamins and possibly and cheap source of vegan protein (keep in mind I make 9.47/hour so REALLY cheap) I figured I should check locally before I use google :PStephanie H. replied:The only supplements I take. You may also be lacking calories, so I'd recommend something like cronometer.com or my fitness pal,etc to track your calorie intake and just make sure you're getting enough in :)

Naomi M. asked:So... I need to put on weight! Any suggestions/recipes that can help!? Thanks in advance!!Richard Y. replied:If you mean you want to gain fat just eat plenty of it, if you mean water weight add plenty of salt, if you mean lean muscle mass nothing other than low repetition high resistance training followed by a belly full of carbohydrates and a couple of days' recovery will actually work, forget protein that's just marketing to carnists. If you want to monitor your input use cronometer.com, set it to 80% carbs, 10% protein and 10% fat and aim for 2-3 thousand calories/day.

Anya D. asked:Hey guys, I need your help again. I'm looking for a vegan-friendly nutritionist/naturapath/alternative medicine practitioner in Toronto that preferably takes benefits. I have a thyroid condition that I would like to treat without taking a prescription pill every day. I had a consult with one naturopath already which left me pretty disappointed as the first thing she was concerned about was my protein intake as soon as I mentioned that I was vegan..*sigh* Thanks in advance & happy Thursday to you all!Anya D. replied:David, the recommended protein intake varies from source go source, new research showing 0.3-0.6 g per kilo of body weight. Regardless, if you eat enough calories for your body weight in plant based whole foods, you will get enough protein as all plant foods are composed of essential amino acids, which are cumulative. I have tracked my nutrient intake via www.cronometer.com and never had an issue with protein consumption, ever. I don't supplement with protein powder because I'm not a body builder but do add flax, chia, and hemp to my green smoothies in the morning, in any combination. Sometimes I leave them out and have a raw day.

Jade Q. asked:Hello, I was wondering what people feel about protein powder, I started to use this in my smoothies a week ago because my health teacher said I need about 60-70g of protein a day training as a triathlete. And the powder is Vega which is a vegan powder. Does anyone know how much protein one needs? Everyone is different after all, so it's hard to say all humans need 40g of protein a day. Thank you for reading, and please comment.Penelope H. replied:about 5-7% of calories from fruit is protein and 45% of calories from greens are protein. I can easily get 50 grams of protein in with 16 mangos alone and that doesn't include a salad. So no need to add protein powders to anything. 50 grams of protein is like 2 steaks! cronometer.com is a useful tool. Check it out!

Lisa E. asked:Does anyone know of a free app that tracks nutritional value and daily recommendations? Scott Sumpter try not to say something smart ass...
Alicia W. replied:One last thing and then I'm done lol. Cron-O-Meter gives you a pretty thorough breakdown of macronutrients and micronutrients. It even breaks down your lipids into cholesterol, SFA's, MUFA's, PUFA's (and then even further into Omega 3's and Omega 6's), your protein down into (almost all) of the significant amino acids they're comprised of, % daily values of micros including all vitamins and minerals (although beta carotene is considered Vitamin A so that's something to be aware of), and even shows the amount of water that you're consuming through your food. And it can be accessed for free online here: http://cronometer.com/ though the phone app is unfortunately not free. I used to just enter my food intake in at the end of the day back in my raw vegan daze, was consistently low in Vitamin E and Zinc... So it's especially nice to give you at least a rough idea of anywhere you may be lacking. Okay, that's all for now haha.

Kitt B. asked:Does anybody get gas whos on the raw vegan diet?Rob R. replied:For good healing, awesome digestion and no stinky gas.. Go low fat. NO nuts or seeds, the fats you need are in fruits & greens. Just make sure you learn to eat enough (weigh your food and register in www.cronometer.com f.ex.) to make sure you don't go calorie deficient.

Lewsyn D. asked:Does anyone know a good website that breaks down sources of nutrition? Have a friend who eats fish and is concerned about omega 3 sources - would be great to show her something that say X thing is found in X vegan food. Would google it but could come across anyone old mickey mouse website. Thanks.Gary M. replied:www.cronometer.com is also good.
