Full Day Of Eating | My Vegan Macros (and micros)

What do vegan macros even look like? Can you hit 100% of your RDI’s? Find out in this video where I show you what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We dive deep in to Cronometer and find out what nutrients I'm getting.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments section down below. I will try and answer them there or if it's a good & concise question, maybe feature it in an upcoming Q&A video.
Thanks so much for watching.
*I just want to be clear, I say not to worry too much about individual nutrients, I was implying that is once you are experienced and have tracked for many different days like myself. It becomes intuitive after a short time.

I watch KZbin on the TV when I visit my mom. She refers to you as the “positive energetic vegan guy” and thinks your content and attitude would be perfect for Food Network. I couldn’t agree more!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awe that is so sweet! thanks Abigail!

so comforting seeing people still thriving on a vegan diet.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yeah, it's not as hard as people make it out to be!

[@yeahbuddy4712]

Hmm your name sounds like a tasty dish... Is that a recipe??

[@wizardgamer131]

By comforting you mean enabling and vindicating. You know the majority of vegans don't thrive but you take this one as justification. Take away his "supplement" pills and injections and he would degrade rapidly

So easy to watch. I love your food. Beautifully prepared. I am a 75 yr old vegan lady that loves to experiment with veggie/grains bowls. I get lots of ideas here. By the way, as others commented - the eyes. HYPNOTIC!

[@lahsm5050]

I enjoy the nutrient information and stats. I simply find this interesting and educational. Perhaps, if we learned more about this as kids, we would grow up knowing why a healthy diet is so beneficial and important and eat healthier.

[@kathleenbefittwell8179]

It's "Kala Namak" /ˈkɑːlə nʌmək/, This is a hindi word from India. Kala means Black, Namak means Salt, hence BLACK SALT or KALA NAMAK in Hindi :)

[@AutumnBRreeze]

Funny.. when he said the "eggy flavor" I said to myself, black salt will give the same flavor, lol 😁.

[@evelynbaron2004]

@@AutumnBRreeze sulfur compound as you know ... If it's available I'll use it but if not combining it with salsa works too -- easiest way to deal with tofu from a lazy person who loves food.
