Video: 5 Plant-Based Bodybuilder Diet Tips - How To Include Sea Moss
If you're struggling to gain weight on a vegan diet, you're not alone. Today, I'll share some effective tips on how you can increase your calorie intake healthily and sustainably.
First, let’s talk about the role of Sea Moss. While Sea Moss is great for minerals, it's not a primary source for weight gain since it reduces the absorption of fat consumed through the presence of fucoxanthin.
Lets focus on calorie-dense vegan foods that can play a part in conjunction with Sea Moss to help you achieve your weight gain goals. Here’s how:
Choose High-Calorie Foods
Opt for calorie-dense foods rather than large volumes of low-calorie fruits and veggies. Some top choices include avocados, nuts, nut butters, quinoa, and legumes like chickpeas and lentils.
Incorporate Healthy Fats and Carbs
Don’t shy away from healthy fats and carbohydrates. Foods like avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, and brown or black rice are great options.
Utilise Smoothies and Shakes
They are a quick and delicious way to pack in calories. You can add ingredients like bananas, nuts, oats, vegan protein powder, and even Sea Moss to enhance their nutritional value without compromising taste.
Be Strategic with Meals
Focus on adding calorie-rich ingredients to your meals. For example, topping your dishes with tahini, using avocado in your salads, or cooking with coconut oil can significantly increase your calorie intake.
Modify Your Eating Habits
Sometimes, increasing your meal size and eating more frequently can help. Also, eating quickly can be advantageous because it allows you to consume more calories before you feel full.
Remember, gaining weight healthily takes time and adjustment. Consult with a Dietitian to tailor a plan that suits your needs and lifestyle.
