RVC's Vegan Cut

[RVC]

Hi guys, been lurking for a couple days and decided it would be beneficial to sign up and start a diet log (if only for myself).

Weight: 107kg/236lbs
Height: 183cm/6ft
BF%: 25-27%

I'm trying to drop around 15 kg/ 33 lbs of body fat over this summer (november-march)

I'll be logging my diet and exercise daily and will post a progess picture weekly.

I've been training muay thai for around 2-3 months now and my fitness is just starting to pick up. I'm starting mma/wrestling up as soon as my elbow gets over this hyperextension (gf put me in an accidental armbar :redface.

As far as diet goes...

I've been a vegan since birth, and my diet will consist of alot of oats/veg/fruit/fake meat etc etc

My caloric intake will be around 1800 on days I rest, and around 2200 on days I train (my caloric maintenance is around 2800-3000).

Cheers

If you are looking to drop some bodyfat off I would suggest that you get rid of the rice crackers and the fake meat and start eating real food. If you need some decent rice protein powder I would say that Sun Warrior is pretty good (Vegan) and mixes well.

I would also drop the soy out the diet and start with almond milk or hemp milk instead.
