In episode 21 of the Deficient Vegans podcast, we discuss various methods for tracking fitness and nutrition progress. We explore the utility of tracking apps, tips for maintaining motivation, and avoiding burnout from over-tracking. The episode highlights specific apps for different activities, such as Strong and Hevy for lifting, and fitness wearables like Fitbit. Nutrition tracking and the importance of monitoring macros and micronutrients, especially for vegans, are covered. We caution against misinformation around high-calorie vegan protein sources and emphasize the use of efficient protein options like tofu and TVP. Additionally, we mention the release of a new long-form cooking video for vegan recipes on the Protein Deficient Vegan YouTube channel.
