Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I just finished recording an audio presentation with Dr. David Pimentel and an interview in which he says that the US Population is eating way too much. He said that we are eating something over 3700 calories per day when it is suppose to be 2000 calories for a woman and 2500 for a man. I'm interested in trying to cut back my calorie intake to something approaching 2500 calories. I still consider myself a new vegetarian and don't know how to go about preparing a diet that is Vegan, nutritious and yet limited to 2500 calories per day. Can you all suggest some possible meal planner websites that are available for those that are trying to focus on the Vegan lifestyle? thanks, Joseph Puentes http://h2opodcast.com/vsse.html (Vegan Environmental Solutions Podcast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I second the www.sparkpeople.com suggestion. I am a member there and find it really helpful to see what I am eating and how many calories it has. You can follow the meal plans they suggest or just enter in the foods that you eat everyday.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Another one that is very good is www.fatsecret.com. It has a food database that you can use to fill in your food diary that is pretty comprehensive and you can add whatever isn't in it I've heard good things about sparkpeople, too, but I found fatsecret first and love it.
