I have been viewing your postings for awhile and just recently sub. You are one of the few fitness/vegan/athlete I follow. Thanks for always sharing your eating regimen off and on season. Your advice is very sound and practical. Please post more videos like this with workouts on specific body parts.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

That means a lot, thank you!

[@ltesh1332]

This is great! I’ve never heard a better explanation about Macros Until now! It’s so refreshing to have a glimpse as to why. I especially love your “real” way of eating and that you let us in. I need to eat simply and quickly while traveling and fitting in workouts Your life style is similar with the focus on quick, working out and traveling. This is a huge help Natalie♥️ Thanks!

[@mrs.Columbo22]

Your content helps me so much and your personality is so sweet and genuine. Love all your videos 💪🏼🥦

You should do a grow series! I’d love to see your change in macros and over all progression over the next view weeks!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Great Idea! I'll start a playlist with all my improvement season videos :)

[@modee2213]

Great video! Thanks for the tip of weighting the peanut butter jar !!! Genius! Gracias!!

[@evolvetravel1]

These videos help so much. I just try to remember one thing and try it. Been doing the protein oats, now I want to try the tofu/fry salad! (with a little bit of vegan cheese ;) ... I guess it really throughs off your macros if its regular baked fries instead of squash fries?

[@katyblazcikova]

You are so strong and beauty at the same time💪😻 I just love following your journey. You are such a sweet soul💗🌱

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thanks girl! BTW congrats on your win!

Great!! Exactly. I have found that keeping a consistent eating habit. ( Correctly ) I can not only grow in muscle but in total body mass. Be consistent.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Trixie Rose Thank you beautiful 💕 These are some great ideas!

[@shelleypicott3239]

Always a pleasure to take a peak into your everyday life...George you can try to act mean but that is not coming across on film. Different styles of eating (taste/looks vs. filling/gains). I guess what they say about opposites attracting is true....

[@MA-mc7vq]

George is the best boi ever! We love you George and we get your great personality ♥️👍🏻 and when you do food grunts , its the BEST 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Dear Natalie!I love this type of your videos it's always enjoyable to watching them, so thank yu so much again

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so happy you're enjoying the content. A: I personally think is ok in moderation. I do love it, but I don't consume it every day. I like to switch out my protein sources and I like variety. I personally haven't experienced any negative effects from it. It's completely up to you and your personal choice. ;)

Tell me please how I can get shoulders and arms like yours? I take a vegan protein shake

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Love 2B Free Thank you I’m flattered 💕 Is not about supplements... Is about going to the gym pushing yourself, tracking progress, and lifting heavy 💪🏽 + Eating enough to support those workouts. I used to surf 🏄🏽‍♀️ for a long time... my back and shoulders were a bit developed from years of swimming and surfing.

[@jocelyncandace9753]

Loved the video and info!

[@wersza3237]

I'm completely obsessed with you, Natalie! You give me tons of motivation to get better (as an athlete and a vegan), thank you so much for all your amazing work! I have one question, maybe you have any advice for me;) - I live in a country that is crazy strict about people with tattoos (and I have a few of them;P) and because of that I can't work out in a gym. That's why I workout only at home (I have some weights but nothing to big, unfortunately) - do you have any advice or ideas for good home workouts? I do Fitness Blender now, and I really love it but I don't see that much progress, to be honest.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you so so much! If you're working out from home, try investing in some resistance bands and dumbells. You can google variations for each exercise. With a little imagination, you can modify any program to a home workout program. You don't need crazy heavy weights. Focus on the movements and squeezing the muscle ( mind-muscle connection is everything) The most important thing is that you stay consistent with whatever you do.

Do you online coach!? I am a vegan & I weight lift, but I’m not sure if I am eating enough to gain some pen muscle mass!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Cennedy Padilla Hi! I don’t do online coaching. I definitely recommend my coach Paul Revelia from prophysique.com or Dani from veganproteins.com

[@1019jen]

How do I even being to know what Im shooting for as far as macros?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

1019jen I made a video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXvNZJdve5yspdk You have to track what you are eating right now to figure out what is your maintenance. Veganproteins.com sells a one time personalized macro calculation www.veganproteins.com/product-category/vegan-coaching-tools/

Hey girl I am newly vegan, and new to your channel. I was wondering if you had a video on why and when you went vegan?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Hi there! Welcome :) I share a bit of my story on "my epic cheat day video": kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2G6c2Nqqs9gnJI I also go in depth about my whole story on this podcast: www.thevegangym.com/vegan-power-couple/

Thank you : )

[@jacquelinejordan6939]

Lol my boyfriend and I are are the same way about food! I'm all about taste and he only cares about vegan gains

[@nitotwirler]

Hahah... my husband and I are literally the same way it could taste like dog poop and he would eat it if it is healthy for you. He will cook kale and eat it and I am gagging like “that wouldn’t even taste good with a bag of sugar on it!” 😂.... but back to being serious, what do you suggest to a beginner that aspires to being a vegan fitness athlete?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Haha, That's awesome! 1.If you're a beginner at the gym... I recommend hiring a trainer that shows you proper form, the form is extremely important to avoid injuries. 2.My second tip is to track your progress... keep a journal with your starting weights and make it a goal to slowly increase weight over time. Strength gainz = Muscle gainz 3.My third tip is to be consistent! Consistency is key to anything in life. 4.The last tip is to be patient! Change doesn't happen overnight. Hope this helps...best of luck in your journey :)

[@nitotwirler]

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer back! I greatly appreciate it! Hope to see you in the Pittsburgh, PA area soon!

[@samantha-kemp-therapy]

I wont drink my calories either. Excellent work out footage x

[@rudiead]

Do you watch your sugar intake? How much do you consume? I saw those Trader Joes oat, but didn't want the added sugar.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I personally don't. I'll share a pumpkin SF overnight oat recipe on a future video :)

Hello! I tell you that I am vegan and I am training hard. 💪🏽 My upper body is well on its way but my butt and legs do not want to grow ... Can you help me a little bit with some advice? Thank you!! from Buenos. Aires, Argentina💕

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

YASSS Hola!!!!!! I used to have the same problem, I'm very upper body dominant. I've changed up a few things and have been able to grow my lower body this year. These are a few things I did that helped me: 1. During my warm-up, I use a glute band to activate my legs and my glutes...It has helped me engage better and feel that mind muscle connection before and during my lifts. 2. Do heavy compound lifts! My top favorites are deadlifts and squats...and for the bootay heavy barbell hip thrust. 3. Track progression. strength gainz=Muscle gainz

[@julielance6142]

Ha ... Natalie such a cute plantlete ... rocking the double hair buns. 😃 And George the King of Consistency. Sometimes I can go a week eating the same thing everyday too. Plus it helps put me in the mood for some "Mean Mugging" 😠 ... 😂😂😂 ... But man, those butternut squash fries sounds like something I definitely need to try out. 😋 So I bet Natalie probably said this before ... but I will risk being a knucklehead and ask anyway .... does it depend on the workout you have planned that determines whether you have more calories before or after it ?? Or is it just all intuitive regardless ?? And of course ... no secret ... gym time for Natalie = good times for viewers. And her back muscles are certainly lit. 🔥 👍😊

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Vindicator73 Thank you so much! To answer your question: At the moment my macros are the same every day. I don’t calorie cycle if that’s what you mean. At least not at this moment. I don’t worry about that. I’m in a slight calorie surplus. When I go to the gym I focus on progression and utilizing the extra calories to crush those workouts.

[@Vindicator73]

Ah, ok, gotcha. 😎
