Hi comrades

I want to start handling my nutrition and fitness better. I usually work out at home and can do pushups etc., I would say I’m quite underweight.

While I’m reading the guide by CriticalResist on Prolewiki, I decided to count my calories. I barely reach 1500 calories a day which at this point I’ll go malnourished. I just feel full very quickly. I do not eat processed sugars and avoid sweets, and I’m basically vegan at this point.

I exercise too and can do push ups, squats etc with no problems whatsoever, though as expected I cannot build muscular mass, most likely because of my nutrition. I don’t have the money to go to a gym so I want as much as possible to work out at home, I saw that calisthenics might be a good option? Though they seem unreliable for building muscle mass and strength. I want to put more weight but not fatty weight, which had happened to me in the past. I do eat healthy, but I eat way too less because I feel I just get full quickly. This might be due that in the past I was overweight and conditioned myself to not eat much, but now I’m basically starving myself.

How would I go about increasing my caloric intake while putting muscle mass (preferably at home)?

    Yep I eat peanuts on an almost daily basis, they’re quite expensive here, though.

    You want to eventually be full vegan or just not eat meat directly and avoid most animal products

    Yeah that’s my aim basically. I still consume meat once in a while, but very rarely. I do eat animal products.

    Are things like greek yogurt off the table? I assume eggs are out?

    At the moment I still consume them
