What I Eat in a Day (Plant-Based Athlete)

For more information on plant-based eating here is a good place to start: www.sagerunnin...
PROTEIN: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That means I got almost double of what I actually needed.
I also had some grapes for dessert after dinner but lost that part of the video.

I have to say, if Sandi keep banging out videos like this, she is going to out shine Sage!

[@karvinsunny4199]

What an absolute badass!!! Sandi saying what need to be said!!!

[@GreyRock100]

@Blue Butterfly When my Girlfriend and I ought our house, we realized that our counter space was pretty minimal. We didn't buy a microwave since we wanted the extra space. It's been 8 months and we don't miss the microwave. I have no idea if microwaves are really all that bad but it's something I'm glad we did.

[@mightymia10]

So happy to see a video from you Coach Sandi and this one was great! I love What I Ate In A Days!!! 😀

[@BloodMeridien]

You looking shredded coach Nypaver. You got bigger delts than Sage!

[@runsintheforrest1364]

Nutrition wise this is as good as it gets. Dr. Greger would be proud. You will probably live to 100 eating like this.

[@trailmomma]

nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method/

[@stafili]

Yeah, it is very near to the daily dozen

[@frozebroz]

Coach Sandy killing it in this video! Thanks for the plant based inspiration! You are so gifted :)

[@karolnass2102]

thanks a lot! keep it up! we (the amateur athletes) are very grateful to you and Sage for making these fantastic training and lifestyle videos and for sharing your knowledge with us :)

[@f.w.m.1759]

It's so refreshing to see plant-based athletes. Thanks so much for the video!

[@Sunflowrrunner]

Thanks for posting! I feel like most vegan videos make things way too complicated, but I actually will use these ideas. I already eat entire cans of chick peas regularly. Usually with a little spinach and spaghetti sauce.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

I like to do almond butter, mixed berries and cacao nibs....SUPER yummy!

[@hhslf]

Lots of good ideas in this video. I'm definitely going to try these meals so thanks for going into detail on the ingredients.

[@chinatosinthiti3076]

Welcome back!!

[@brianmossburg2272]

Beautiful. I have been vegan for 1.5 years and also a age group triathlete. Love to see other vegan athletes ideas on daily food intake.

[@RedBar3D]

I still eat fish and dairy products, but I'm trying to slowly move away from that. Videos like these are really helpful, so thank you!

[@dpetrina4625]

Ditch dairy before fish.

[@Keoki57able]

😮It's late, I'm hungry right now and you're killing me! I'm Vegan also and all that looks Really Good! Probably will try your oatmeal recipe first. Gonna get to the grocery store tomorrow & get myself in the kitchen!

[@annachock2121]

Ahhh I love this! Thanks for sharing, I hope you keep doing so :)

[@roustabout4fun]

Do you have an opinion on Olive Oil w Plant-based diet?

[@peterhitchen8940]

Just tried the oatmeal and is really good. Thanks for the recipes

[@rodneymene8747]

Looks good Sandi! Gotta have the gogo juice to charge up your morning. =)

[@mulalomercytshivhilinge4913]

Gogo juice..kikiki

[@connorpuls2687]

what application do you use to track all of your nutrients for the day

[@sonja4164]

I never would have thought in a million thought in a million yrs that I'd be eating rntire cans of beans at once, and yet here I am! Somehow it just doesn't feel right if there isn't at *least* a cup of them on my plate

[@karlmatthews6194]

Great video .... but you need to add some "fat" to your lunch. Nuts/seeds/avocado/olives etc will help you to absorb the fat soluble nutrients in the rest of your food. Check out Michael Greger video if you want the science etc etc.

[@timeless_realm]

Thank you, Sandi. Do you have any vegan recipes/recommendations for people that medically are not allowed to eat raw foods? Also, I drink bottled water as the tap water where I live smells strongly of chlorine.

[@jimoconnor8597]

Great video and information. How many calories do you get during a day training season? I can get my protein in but as I am increasing my mileage and other efforts I find I am am barely getting enough calories. Not wanting to loose weight or not have enough fuel to work and recover.

[@JurgenK56]

Please please make more video. Love your videos! ;)

[@chiarad7633]

OMG! that's not coffee!! Why don't you use a moka?...:-) thank you for your suggestions, I'm learning a lot.

[@stephaddiction]

I eat similar but I have 1/4 avo for lunch and 1/4 avo for dinner and I can't lose weight. Is it because you're a runner? I do crossfit for 3 yrs :(

[@cassidywooldridge2676]

How many grams/servings of oatmeal did you use in this video? Just curious.... Thank you!

[@obiwanschinobi]

All in all great content + it made me hungry 😋. Just less microwave!!

[@franciscocorralesmorales7608]

I never tried cronometer.com before. It's awesome. Gives you a lot more information than myfitnesspal.

[@splashmt99]

A lot of carbs. A lot of greens too.

[@arturpojo]

please.. remake the video with better light and sound.. looks very interesting.. but i couldnt watch it :(.. with 75K subscription? get a better camera and mic :)

[@utharkruna1116]

I can never eat that much food in the morning.

[@justmeemi6350]

Is it just me or does she look like Emma Watson? 😉 Amazing video :) u r really sweet ^^

[@sineadcronin6998]

I think so too, especially with her hair up😀

[@mahoney6590]

Avocados are not good for the environment, or humanity, for that matter. I don't know why you are doing vegan stuff, but please rethink this decision.

[@markivkovic7235]

Now I feel better about how apparently large my oatmeal bowl is in the morning. When ever i stay over somewhere new people always comment about how much of the stuff I eat......

[@Lion_McLionhead]

With meat prices taking another leap this year, lions are starting to look for more plant ideas.

[@mulalomercytshivhilinge4913]

🤣🤣😂

[@potterylady44]

Lolololololllllll

[@Opi395]

Thanks for uploading this content. I've been more plant based since I've been reviewing yours and sage's content the last year as I focus on distance running more. I didn't really make the conscious decision to be plant based but honestly it makes me feel better with doing over 100 miles a week in mileage. I love the salad idea especially. Thanks again Sandi!

[@karvinsunny4199]

Omg... This video is sooo good. Great contents!

[@Brett33]

Great information, thank you. While I have not switched over to a plant based diet (yet), it is great to have ideas like this to throw into the menu rotation to add some variety.

[@dpetrina4625]

Same. Mostly plant based here but I have to think of my health first as an athlete and long term health of muscles, tendons, collagen, etc. I can cut dairy but refuse to give up fish. I could easily be vegan but our bodies need B-12 and omegas only absorbed from meat sources. I still take supplements for B-12 and Vit. D but, with fish as a compromise, I know I'm not missing any essential nutrients. xx

[@Blair62]

Was vegan for 16 years and switched to WFPB, no oil, no sugar, 3 years ago. Cronometer says I get over 100 grams of protein every day. It seems that whole plants are loaded with protein. Agree that my taste buds completely changed also. Now enjoy lemons, limes and cranberries with no added sweetener.

[@nealarmstrong3050]

LOL I love comparing this to Sage's food diary videos. "Mmm coffee...coffee is life."

[@rnprr62]

This person opinion is that you should definitely make more videos. Thanks for sharing. Can't believe you eat that much in a day. God Bless you. You work hard. Best of health to you both.

[@IRunThings]

I like your ums :)

[@billlacasse9414]

Where did you put that salad? I am 63, post heart attack, now on a plant-based whole food diet and contemplating a return to running. Watching how you guys do it. Thanks.

[@Gifdr]

Brilliant thank you. Found you after Ben Parkes and both great ideas

[@stokepusher5481]

I like to use my thicker base stainless steel pan. I sit it on a low heat after adding the water and let my oats soak up and soften, meanwhile I have my frozen blueberries and few cherries sit out for this time. The oats always soak and soften before the berries thaw so I use the heat in the pan's base as well as the hot oats to finish the thaw and also cool the oats down. I'm gonna sound like a know it all now, but I like to think this gives a more gentle and even thawing to those precious blueberries. I also often just pour the bowl of berries into the pan as it's easier to mix then in the pan when the porridge goes soft

[@ericsisk1]

Most of my salads these days are topped with EVOO and balsamic vinegar. 👍🏼 The Trader Joe’s dressing is awesome too!

[@THlRDEYE]

*में यहां जरूर आऊंगा*

[@bikeanddogtripsvirtualcycling]

i eat a lot of porridge too. i tend to add the oats, banana, frozen berries, some cinnamon flavouring, chia seeds and sometimes peanut butter and use soya milk rather than water. It is a rather large bowl though, so takes 4 mins in the micro, quick stir (almost wrote stare then, but i only glance at it) and then another 2 mins. completely vegan and all of the fruit flavours blend with the oats. for extra sweetness i may add some raisins or a small scoop of Tailwind. I absolutely agree on having a daily smoothie too. I like mine really thick (eat with a spoon) and always add turmeric powder and black pepper (to limit post run inflammation) along with beetroot powder for the nitrates no matter what flavour smoothie I make. Always frozen fruit because smoothies must be cold and if feeling pretty hungry - add oats to the smoothie

[@natdesjardins24]

Sage sent me - but I'm so glad he did! love your channel :D

[@dragonchr15]

6:50 lunchtime....Sage is still sleeping?

[@OmahaRiverDonkey]

I used to hate oatmeal, but now I eat it salty (as a congee substitute) or sweet (nuts, berries and bananas turned sweet when cooked). I used to hate salads, but I realized I just hated the prepackaged salad dressings and now make my own. Still a frequent carnivore though.

[@daddac]

Wow, first video in 9 months!

[@runningwithmarc]

Loved this Sandi, thanks for sharing, and your killing it with all that great food, :)

[@Unclewhistler007]

Good video. 😃

[@Pinkpanther100x]

What kind of Mexican food is this

[@piquedinterests143]

Ty for being “real” with the volume of food you eat in a day. I tell people I eat like a truck driver. 😁 Nice to know I’m not the only one who puts greens in her oatmeal. I’ve preferred savory oats for a long time. And SAME on the salads. I rarely dress mine. I typically used lemon pepper seasoning only. Balsamic is a splurge. I like to taste my food. Keep up the good work! I just subscribed based off this video. ✌🏻💙🏃🏼‍♀️

[@stevocanuck]

I don't know why, but my stomach can not handle oatmeal. My everyday breakfast is cereal with cashew milk.

[@laurencurley5062]

Do you take any iron supplements, or you get everything you need from your diet? I think I'm low-iron since transitioning to a more plant-based diet and my runs and workouts have suffered.

[@bobbosworld6795]

Youre cool

[@cameronboswell5459]

k you lost me when you put spinach in the oatmeal

[@trailmomma]

I am one of those kale oatmeal peeps!! Great video coach!

[@ignacioinder]

i love the way you coach as a couple! deffo i can relate to your eatings. keep em coming!

[@Dru2Ninja]

Goddamn, I am vegan also, but why does every Vegan eat the same breakfast? You can eat breakfast besides oatmeal

[@laundry08]

Awesome! I think your oatmeal was begging for some almond butter though =)

[@mountaingoat8788]

very similar to my Morning lol and the Coffee only One cup..

[@Elizabeth-dg8dn]

I really liked your video. Great eating! Chocolate oats are so good. That Santa Cruz pb is my fav. Have you tried Navitas cacao powder? I like it better and I think it has more flavanols than cocoa powder processed with alkali. What brand of nibs do you like? I've tried them before and love the rich flavor, but I seem to get crunchy shell bits in them.

[@cameronboswell5459]

plus you're not even eating alot stop acting like your eating a ton of food ^

[@lizlund2351]

Awesome video! I've realized that my training is really suffering because of my poor diet. Thank you so much for making this! I hope you do more like this in the future :)

[@kermeythomas9941]

fookin hell sandi luv.......you tool a LONG time to post another video.........wtf????? :(

[@CAIrondad]

Love it... thanks for sharing!! Sandi, you're looking super fit! Any races coming up this late spring / summer??? I hope to see you and Sage at Pikes Peak.

[@kristyemma]

YASSSSS Sandi! Great video! Can't wait for more content like this! Definitely going to try spinach in my oats! Thank you x

[@winstonsmithsneighbor7604]

Watching you and sage cook has gotten me to change my diet to at least 40% veggies and fruit and I just started doing oatmeal most mornings. Cheers to both of you. Also, I'm 6'6" and even when I was 300 lbs I could never eat such a huge breakfast and I was like more than two of you put together.

[@bsutton530]

I watched this a month or so ago and somethings in here just stuck with me. I pulled it up again today to show to my wife and we decided to make the dinner you had. It was delicious; we loved it. Even my skeptical kids liked it. Thanks for sharing these tips / view into how you fuel.

[@shengchunguo2380]

If Sandi keeps uploading, this channel will have more subscribers than Sage's in a year.

[@elevationview673]

Just added loads more veg to my vegetarian lunch after watching. You're inspirational Sandi.

[@batbawls]

100g quick oats, 20g coconut sugar, 20g almond butter, 300g soy milk, 200g frozen blueberries.

[@Slow-wipe]

spinach, peanut butter, cocoa powder, banana, frozen yogurt = best shake ever

[@1mikeydiaz]

Very nice vídeo ! Me and my wife became plantbased this year. How long do you wait to digest your oatmeal before you run?

[@afos32]

Make Cookbook I love your meals. I've been eating plant bases all my life. Protein is not a problem thank you for the video

[@dpetrina4625]

I've never questioned protein in plant based diets but at such a high athletic level, I'd be much more worried about B12 and Vit. D which are imperative to repairing muscle and collagen (vit D for calcium absorption and immune system health). I know that nutritional yeast has B12 in it but I also know many vegans who sustain this lifestyle, at an athletic level, for years and do not realize the deficiencies until muscle and collagen are so badly injured that they cannot perform any longer. B-12 shots become a "must" and dissolvable B-12 tablets, infinitely. So, no, you cannot get *everything* you need from a plant based diet without supplements and at this athletic level, just be aware that many are forced into at least eating fish, as B-12 is only absorbed from animal sources. ~ Dr. DPP

[@Vo2maxProductions]

"B-12 is only absorbed from animal sources" That is False. While I agree with you that every athlete should watch their Vitamin D and B12 Levels regardless of diet. There is a good chance probably about 70% of all Americans are low in Vitamin D. Plenty of meat eaters....and those that run a lot and get low on iron too. I regularly get these levels checked and I also take an algae oil based form of DHA/EPA essential fatty acids (much better source than a lot of fish...esp those filled with mercury/lead/PCBs etc). All athletes (regardless of diet) should watch their Vitamin levels for optimum performance.

[@dpetrina4625]

@@Vo2maxProductions academy.plantbasednews.org/blog/b12-vegan-diet -- I am not trying to argue against veganism. Nor am I saying that anyone, vegan or not, isn't deficient in vitamin D. I see it daily, especially in the climate where my patients live (very little sun). High dose D-2 is usually warranted. You are correct in that area. I have seen it up and close: *Some* vegans do not realize the importance of B-12. Most people seem to understand what a Vit. D deficiency, in my experience. However, you'd be surprised, since you are quite well educated, how many try to go vegan, especially athletes, who end up ruining their collagen for life by not being educated on B-12. Example: An Olympic bound 15 year old who was vegan for 4 years prior to having to come to a halt and never skate again. Her tendons in her feet weren't healing at all. She is in extreme pain, had dangerously low B-12, needs B-12 shots (because her gut would no longer absorb B-12 from any source) and will never be pain free or wear normal "teenage girl" shoes. Even being on her feet for 3 hours of work leaves her in excruciating pain, needing the knots in her feet rubbed out nightly. My original answer was just a quick, non-judgmental warning. Still. not judging but I understand how the vegan community is very passionate. This is not an attack on diets. It is just fact. If it makes one person aware, then my post was worth it.

[@davidsgardell]

That salad! 🤤 I’m doing a short grape fast now, so I shouldn’t be watching this.. 😐😂

[@nberkel]

Great insight to what you eat in a day. Lots of familiar foods. Still can't believe the whole can of beans though haha. Good to see Sage make an appearance too!

[@Lulunme]

more of these videos please!!! everything looked delicious

[@MsSupaflyguy]

Nice video Sandi! Just wondering how soon after you eat breakfast do you go for your run?

[@Ian-ci8or]

looks good , h e a l t h y...hmm you didn't sweat, I sweat on the coldest days. Even mild conditions; very wet. Lucky you.

[@upfulsoul826]

You look great. But I wouldn't be able to digest either your breakfast or your lunch. The dinner looked good though.

[@topoisomerace]

Great video! I enjoyed the cameo from Sage the Rage, but where was the Worcestershire sauce?

[@KshitijPadalkar]

Great video. Your happiness around good food is contagious:) thanks

[@Matiaza]

Great video, but ditch the microwave! Imo the best salad dressing is half a lime with some chili, curry and salt.

[@owenf9793]

soak the oats in orange juice overnight ....mmmmm

[@remotecontrol9874]

Look into drinking filtered water cos tap water has a lot of crap in it. If you do some research you'll get what I'm saying.

[@victorialie2352]

Very curious how you used the bananas in the mexican food? Im intrigued

[@jessiec8578]

Looks so good! I run around boulder res often, I hope to see you sometime!

[@jompymarz2698]

putting that in the microwave will destroy all of the nutrients!

[@lizzerdlegz2732]

Love the vid ! I strive to eat the way you do. Amazing.
