Hi flavia-
I’ve been falling you for close to year now, and I’m so appreciative of all your motivations, tips, and workouts. I also Think you have a beautiful physique! I’m wondering, when your in a hypertrophy phase, how do you figure out your daily calorie requirements and macro breakdown? Has it just been trial and error over the years? I’m also a vegan and I find I have to supplement with protein a lot to hit my protein requirements. Thoughts on that?
Thanks for all you do,
Callie
Hi Callie,
A lot of it is trial and error. Typically you want to multiply your weight times 14 – 16 in hypertrophy phase and go from there to get the amount of calories you need. It is harder hitting your protein requirements when you are a vegan, and more supplementation is fine. Here is an article that Flavia wrote about a vegetarian diet that may help you out: https://flaviliciousfitness.com/2012/10/07/vegetarian-diets-for-women/
All the best!
