They really are. I tried to share some kind words at the beginning of the video but I just couldn't express myself correctly and took it out. I wanted to because it seems disingenuous to just go on like everything is fine, when we all know it isn't. But you all know I care and am deeply affected by what's happening. As are so many of us. Stay strong out there, lead with love!
For what it's worth, Zinc and Vitamin E used to be my struggles as well but I've all but solved this issue adding a couple tablespoons of toasted wheat germ in my overnight oats (roughly 18g). It supplies a huge amount of Vitamin E and Zinc allowing me to easily hit those targets with the rest of my meals and I only consume around 1800 calories. The only downside is you will more than likely way overshoot the upper limit of Manganese. The upper limit is fairly arbitrary as the studies on this are extremely limited, but it is something I keep in the back of my mind.
@@TheTacoBros where I live mushrooms are sold in 8oz packages, roughly 230g. That entire package only has 11% of your daily zinc needs. I would hardly call them a good source lol. Vitamin B5 on the other hand, sure that's a decent source and also not the easiest vitamin if you're not in to buying avocados or a coffee drinker
This video was really well done! By the way, you'll probably appreciate this: my 4 year old son tried nutritional yeast yesterday and when we asked him how much more he wanted, he said "all of it!" meaning the entire large container...I think he likes it🙂
I don't know if you're in the US, but check out Dr. Schulze's SuperFood. His vitamin mineral formula has the best nutritional yeast in it. It's loaded with nutrition.
Really enjoyed this & your voice-over and commentary! I especially like how you dont really count calories. Your food always looks delicious. I'd love to see you do this on a budget (or just talk about how you'd adjust some ingredients for cheaper ones, like, where you would save/buy something cheaper or where you'd always splurge).
So good! I have been struggling with trying to put on muscle in the last few weeks. I found myself compromising the quality of foods for quantity in order to get enough calories. This helped me realize that what I really want is to be healthy and happy, and for me that means eating a variety of healthy, delicious, whole foods. Well done, Derek.
LOVE this video. It totally answers some questions i had around Macros. I work with a fitness person here, and they are telling me to get in an absurd amount of protein; I just can't being vegan. I noticed you don't have these kind of goals with your protein and clearly you are not lacking in muscles or energy. People i feel are uninformed about a vegan diet and relating it to exercise. Thanks again for your time!
I loved how you didn't have music behind the video the whole time. Just a little bit of music goes a long way. Love your energy and your information. Again, thanks for not having music the whole time because for people on the spectrum it's pretty challenging. (Also, for people who are hard of hearing or speak English as a second language, it can be a challenge.) You're so entertaining, you don't need all that background racket.
Thank you! It’s very helpful that you pointed out getting macros, especially PROTEIN, is not the that big of a deal! It would be neat if you made a vid of eating strictly whole-foods (no protein powders/supplements) for a day and seeing your macros!
Thank you for brightening my day :) Could you do a video like this without the protein powders? Just to see how it compares, please? Maybe Crystal would agree to do nutritional breakdown of her day of eating ? I imagine it's harder to hit RDIs when you eat less calories, or maybe I'm wrong, it'd be interesting to see.
Thanks for the refresher! It’s just what I need as the pollen is starting to drop. It means the summer and beach trips are near. The most interesting point I take away from your Cronometer breakdowns is how the body is incredibly intuitive and I have learned my baselines of both consuming and exercise. Not to mention rest and meditation. Thanks, Derek!
EAA vs BCAA preworkout. I have seen videos where you did BCAA before and Pre. Whats the deal with all that? Whats Betters whats it for?a EAA vs BCAA Video would be great to hear your take on it. PLEASE!
Great point about macros and how if you focus on macros you tend to forget about the food quality and variety! I see this so often! + the protein not being the be all end all is another great point ;)
I wouldn't worry too much about hitting 15mg for vitamin E on a daily basis. Recommendations vary quite considerably between countries: for your age range it's 15mg in the US (and possibly Canada), where I'm from (Slovenia) it's 12 mg (F) and 13-15 mg (M) and 3 (F) and 4 mg (M) in the UK.
Great video !! Derek my secreat to hitting vitamin E every day is, that I grind sunflower seeds with pumpkin seeds ( because od zinc ) in food processor in 1:1 ratio , and sprinkle 1 tbs on lunch and dinner :) It also gives grat taste to every meal
A yam is a brown hairy thing that grows in the woods. Sorta like taro, not very sweet and very starchy. You have probably never had one in your life. Neither have I. All the stuff sold in grocery stores are sweet potatoes(even though they are often labeled as yams, they are NOT yams) Sweet potatoes can have many different colors and flavors.
One of the things I struggle with as a woman is eating enough .. I want soo badly to eat whole vegan life with enough protein. I’m 52 5’1 and 130 Lbs can’t stand the way I feel .. I’m also about to start living pretty nomad and off grid . I struggle to figure out what I. Can eat ( as a minimalist) and achieve the fat loss and muscle gains and health with hypothyroidism. I just started HIITT work outs and walk or hike regularly. I hate keeping track of what I eat , however what I am doing isn’t working . I hope I can learn how to do this properly! 💙
I was eating WFPB for a long time and I was still somewhat overweight. I had lots of seeds and nuts all day, I cooked with oils and also ate avocados and I cooked with coconut milk very often, but I ate very healthy, I even did detoxing but (!) I did not educate myself on calorie density. The enlightenment came when I learned to cook without oils and (gently) limit my fats, and also limit dried fruit. I lost a lot of weight without cravings or hunger! (Lots of nuts and seeds mean that I had them for almost every meal, on top of brekfast, salads, stir frys, plus cashew dressings/cheez AND as snacks as I didnt believe “only” fruit was satisfying. Which it is..) I know that Derek and Crystal don’t consider themselves “low fat”, but he cooks without oils and it looks like he keeps fat on about 20-25% fat according to this video. Which, in my opinion, is “lower fat” compared to how I used to eat and snack. The theory of calorie density makes it so that you don’t need to count calories...as long as you monitor fats and dried fruit (and other high calorie foods;)
How do you manage weekend binge? Do you never eat processed foods or junk foods over weekend at all? if you do once in a while, how do you manage to stay lean and still build muscle! Appreciate your videos and they have been life changer for me. Keep posting such amazing recipes and also entertaining and educational content at same time!
Great information. Now I just need to get my hubby to watch some of your videos so that we are 'on the same page' about how to eat healthfully. Thanks.
These videos and especially the micronutrients are really helpful - even though I've been vegan for almost four years now there's always something to learn or a new meal idea to try 🌱 I'm also finding it a bit hard to meet the requirements for Vitamin E and B3, any more tips on those? Planning to give wheat germs a try for Vitamin E, but B3 seems to be a struggle for some reason.
The less bone fracture areas that get “less calcium” might be in areas that get at lot of vitamin D from the sun AND they work hard for their life (strength training)..Those things strengthen bones..
A sweet potato according to chronometer is 130g. That is Tiny. Often the sweet potatoes at the grocery store in the loose bin are over a pound or sometimes in 2 pounds so you could log a "sweet potato" as 112 calories when it's actually like 800 calories. Same goes for squashes, papayas, melons. I dont know why they chose a size thats like 1/5 the typical size. I use a food scale. I wouldn't recommend trying to count calories without a scale unless your eating pre- portions food (which I wouldn't recommend either)
So true. People definitely have a very poor intuition on how heavy different foods are. One huge example I can think of for Cronometer specifically is Acorn squash. I don't know where they found their Acorn squashes but clearly mine are twice as large because for a while I was assuming their "half" acorn squash portions had under 100 calories and they were very very wrong once I used food scales. And you're also right about 100-130g. That's such a common portion size for a lot of things but it's much much smaller than people realize when it comes to potatoes or beans.
Hey Derek, I've been watching your videos for awhile and had a video idea! You should cover the pricing for a grocery haul and if you're up for it the rough pricing of each meal you have in a day. (I know it'll differ per country but still would be cool for new plant eaters)
Hi guys !!! Long time no see 😊😇 And that is my loss entirely because your beautiful energy is like my mana for healing and ... everything really 😊😇 QUESTION : do we get to stay younger on plant based and how to go about it from all the parameters of life (foods, rest, thoughts, hygiene, sports, supplements etc.) Or meat eaters get to have younger appearances given the good genes + life / happiness management ?
want to give a comment to people who switch from a normal to a vegan diet and can’t hit the same amount of protein. you don’t need to. many people overeat massively on protein because it has a big satiety factor and helps staying lean and don’t overeat on an omnivore diet. but on a wfpb diet you have this satisfaction already because of the many fiber and high wather content/volume. so it’s totally enough to hit the minimum of protein for building muscle (imo ~1,6g/kg). what’s not too difficult.
Hoping to get clarification. When entering weight on a TDEE calculator - are we supposed to enter our ideal weight or our current weight. According to my BMI, I'm about 100 #lbs over, but anyone who has done heavy lifting will tell you, it's not about the weight but the feel of the clothes. I would say I'm really 60-75# over my ideal weight.
Oh cool! It's so fun to nerd out on. There are so many features. I wonder if I should do a video dedicated to that. I know they sponsor peoples videos but they have never reached out to me so I'm kind of holding off out of spite. Lol. Although I never do sponsored videos anyways.
Hey man, I enjoyed the video. Here's an idea for a gym video of yours! Personally I don't feel inspired after 2-3 rotation of exercises and stop working out. How do you build your routines?
Agree with everything you said. I recently began to do more strength training while trying to lose fat and I had a hard time. My trainer told me to eat much more protein and it helped with building muscles and slowly lose some fat. It's just difficult to eat that much protein and stay in a caloric deficit if you don't do a lot of cardio, which I do 3 hours per week next to moderate walking and cycling. I hope that once I more or less reach my goals, I will be able to cut down on the protein again and maintain my physique and strength, because it's really a lot of food (and I prefer carbs over protein)
Great video as always! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Is a video of what you feed your kitties in the pipeline? 😍 I’m trying my best with the plant based life style. However, feeding my 5 cats meat and store bought food is necessary but a bit icky sometimes. I would really love to hear your take on it. We aren’t feline dieticians by any mean but it would be great to exchange some tips. Thank you! ✌🏼
M a regular viewer of your videos... I have been watching many videos of cooking and diet I think showing your work out in details like reps rang and everything will b a good subject change 🙂 you have awesome physique n we all want to know your recent work out regime in details.. ❤️
I suggest taking a look at your ratios. For example your omega-3 to omega 6 ratio should be greater than 1 to 4, your zinc to copper ratio should be 10 to 1, your potassium to sodium ratio should be 2 to 1. These are just examples check out the Chronometer below the micro nutrients and you will see the ratios recommendations. I wish you well.
Thanks for the input. You are correct and I mentioned just about every one of those in the video. A 1:4 3-6 ratio is tough to get but I could have done better having flax or chia instead of the hemp seeds and cutting back on the tahini. Do you think you get perfect ratios and RDI's each day?
To be fair, the 1:4 ratio is fairly debated at this point. Some have even claimed we should get as close to 1:1 as possible. It's hard to say what's ideal especially if we're surviving on just ALA rather than the more bioactive forms. There definitely needs to be more studies in this area. I never even hit the RDI for Omega-6 as it just seemed to me that I'd have to have such an astronomical amount of ALA to compensate that I'd be worried about blood thinning at some point. There's definitely some limits that are in need of more study.
Times are tough out there lady’s and gentlemen. I hope everyone who reads this is having and unreal day 🤙
They really are. I tried to share some kind words at the beginning of the video but I just couldn't express myself correctly and took it out. I wanted to because it seems disingenuous to just go on like everything is fine, when we all know it isn't. But you all know I care and am deeply affected by what's happening. As are so many of us.

First 10 minutes crew 👍🏽
can you do a video on proteins please, as in making sure to get complete portions in a day, thanks
M a regular viewer of your videos... I have been watching many videos of cooking and diet I think showing your work out in details like reps rang and everything will b a good subject change 🙂 you have awesome physique n we all want to know your recent work out regime in details.. ❤️
I suggest taking a look at your ratios. For example your omega-3 to omega 6 ratio should be greater than 1 to 4, your zinc to copper ratio should be 10 to 1, your potassium to sodium ratio should be 2 to 1. These are just examples check out the Chronometer below the micro nutrients and you will see the ratios recommendations. I wish you well.
Thanks for the input. You are correct and I mentioned just about every one of those in the video. A 1:4 3-6 ratio is tough to get but I could have done better having flax or chia instead of the hemp seeds and cutting back on the tahini. Do you think you get perfect ratios and RDI's each day?
To be fair, the 1:4 ratio is fairly debated at this point. Some have even claimed we should get as close to 1:1 as possible. It's hard to say what's ideal especially if we're surviving on just ALA rather than the more bioactive forms. There definitely needs to be more studies in this area. I never even hit the RDI for Omega-6 as it just seemed to me that I'd have to have such an astronomical amount of ALA to compensate that I'd be worried about blood thinning at some point. There's definitely some limits that are in need of more study.
great video thanks
