Think Dirty is a great app that allows you to search or scan items in a store to see what chemicals it has in it and how harmful those chemicals are to you. The items are even rated.
Use https://cronometer.com/ to track your calories, macro ratios and micro nutrients. Since you're a newbie and active athletically you can easily fall into the error of eating too little calories. So track calories to be sure to eat enough to not lose weight and have energy to workout. For macros keep the fat relatively low, in the 10 to 20% range. For micros, you don't really have to worry much, but tracking will reassure you that that's the case. Once you get the hang of it in 2 or 3 months you can drop Cronometer and eat intuitively. BTW, smoothies are a proven way for athletically active people get lots of calories in. Iron: Put some chia in your smoothies. Other seeds are also high, though chia is the highest. I usually don't worry about it, fruits and veg provide it. Magnesium: I never worry about this. Fruits are loaded and commonly push you over the RDA. It's great that you're physically active, this will lead you to eat a lot of calories, which will bring with it tons of micronutrients.

People reverse type two diabetes (and one instance of type one) with less than 30 days of a raw vegan diet. Pretty incredible, especially given that raw vegan is a fairly high carb diet.
I do mini body weight hiit sessions in my room, also bought an adjustable dumbbell if i get real excited to pump some iron in my spare time. I’m always pacing because of the energy I have, my sister thinks im mental but I can’t sit down for 12 hours a day like her I need to keep moving. Because it’s winter I can’t go out so when nobody is home ill walk up and down our stairs with 50lb backpack 🎒 I’ll also walk laps around the house with a moderate pace. I plan to buy something like this Link because I really want to race people on zwift 🚴 If I were you i would buy some jump rope because its the most portable option you can bring anywhere and it feels amazing 🦵🏻
I definitely recommend masticating, something about the centrifugal ones seems incredibly harsh and unnatural
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VGR4MQL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share this is the one I got, as an upgrade, to my first one. It was a huge step up. Pretty cheap for the quality of machine, very very easy to clean, gets a lot of juice out of the pulp. Saved up for a while to get it. I strain my juice with a wire mesh strainer. I just rinse the juicer right after I use it and it's no big deal
I have tried the pulp over and over. Just doesn't taste great to me. All the juice is gone lol.. but I had lots of thoughts and grand ideas about crackers or whatever
I personally just put unused food outside and there are lots of animals that really appreciate it. Same with the pulp, wild pigs come by and gobble it up. So I'd say just throw that shit on the ground =]
You should try Cronometer it’s really good to use for a couple of days (or my fitness pal I guess) just to see what you’re lacking. I think you’ll be surprised how much food you’re supposed to eat. I have a problem with not eating enough or eating like 8 donuts at a time (LMAO) but using this app let’s me see what I’m missing consistently. I use it a lot at the end of the day to see if I can get a quick meal in to cover my bases. Maybe go back to eating tofu? Or do raw till 4? Then you can eat pretty safe the beginning of the day and then fill your missing spots at the end of the day to not loose weight and feel more satiated in the morning. Raw is great and all and this in my non professional opinion.
Raw generally means uncooked and unprocessed. No cooking anything.
Raw vegan diets are basically fruits, nuts and vegetables in an uncooked form.
Starches you need to cook like potatoes or rice would not be raw or advisable to eat raw (though a bit of raw potato for resistant starch is fine).
Processed nut milks, butters, and yogurts from a store would not be considered raw, they are all heated. These can be prepared at home, or more naturally you could just eat the nuts.
Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can be debated. The usual idea is that you'll get plenty of vitamins from fruits and plenty of minerals from vegetables. Throw what you eat into cronometer.com and see where you come out.
Beans from a can is unlikely as an option and not anything I have heard of. Some need to be cooked or they are toxic and to my knowledge they will all be heated in the canning process.
There is no baking at any extreme temperatures, raw means uncooked. Some people do dehydrate foods like kale chips or eating dried fruits.
Zoodles are noodles made of zuccini.
Most people either do an 80 carb / 10 fat / 10 protein diet that is mostly fruit based or they do some form of high fat diet centered largely around nuts and avocados.
If you want to go the high carb route, just buy a bunch of bananas or mangos as your primary source of calories, and then add in other fruits and vegetables and a bit of nuts or avocado if you like. Some people eat dates / dried fruit as a high calorie source others don't.
If you want to go the high fat route get a bunch of nuts and avocados.
It's a fairly simple diet. Just eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables is how most people approach it, while focusing primarily on high calorie fruits.

can buy raw hulless oats at link . grind into flour , then use to make bakeless granola bars ;
hemp seed hearts are expensive . but make a great protein and omega 3 good tasting milk quickly just mixing in blender . theyre also healthier than store bought processed milks . and the store bought add up to costing way more when you see how much hemp milk you can make out of 1lb hemp seed . this 2 pound option is good deal :
have never owned one but by far the EXCALIBER dehydrator is recommended by most .
I bought my dehydrator for about $60 on Amazon. I really enjoy it - stuff like marinated and dehydrated mushrooms are so delicious. But it is certainly not a necessity. It works well, but if I were to do it again, I'd buy a more expensive one that doesn't have the hole in the middle - it would make pizzas, wraps, and crackers easier to make. I recommend holding off until you know you would actually use it. This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090WOCN0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've never tried raw protein powders, but you can make your own too.
In my experience, the easiest are garbanzos and green lentils. Quinoa, though not a lentil, is also very easy to sprout. The site sproutpeople has a lot of good info on sprouting.
A big bowl of a single type of zoodle does not taste very good. I like to use at least 2 different veggies [for example, carrot, beet, zucchini, cucumber, celeriac, squash] + kelp noodles. You can marinate them for a bit, which will help them soften - you could use a dehydrator for this too. And then top them with a sauce you enjoy. Add other things such as nuts, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, and other veggies like tomatoes, broccoli florets, or onions. I think the secret is variety. I also don't eat a huge bowl - my meals usually include several small plates.
I hope this helps!
25th year vegan with era's of up to a year 100% raw , juice fasts up to near 30 days and water fast 10 day was limit . read some of your tweets and saw you utilize canned dry beans and wanted to say that A#1 i wouldnt consume anything canned . i also do not see drybeans as anywhere near our ultimate protein source as once you heat plants youve destroyed what i call the star light held in them rendering it way less nutricious . and notice about all cooked plants need salt applied to make them taste ' good ' . thats our taste buds informing us that cooked substances are not what our cells need , thats what taste buds jobs are . but weve been made salt addicts which is a very bad habit . and our proper protein sources are raw seeds and nuts but i include dry roasted peanuts with them . raw seeds n nuts made into seed bars and milks is i guarantee our ultimate protein source . ide buy whole oat seeds - soak it - roll in a oat roller thing thenuse them in your seed bar recipes along with dry fruit such as raisin and dates to make seed bars you consume all day with fruit , then at night with baby greens salads . earth bound farms is selling very good organic baby greens at fair price in large grocery chains in my area . if need cooked its vegan buddha bowls at pinterest , and adding a limited amount of dry beans to them isnt a bad thing . best / most important book ive read in 60 years : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/089019033X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wouldn't eat chickpeas sprouted, they have something that leaches amino acids from you (if I remember correctly, it's in the above book though) but sprouted lentils and mung beans are fine
