Why Meal Plans, Macros, and Calories ACTUALLY Matter - John Talks (BodybuildingVegan)

I went from a skinny 130 lb teen who "couldn't gain weight" to a 200 lb vegan bodybuilder. And in this ‘somewhat brief’ car talk, I break down the differences between meal plans, macros, and calorie tracking, explaining how understanding these concepts completely transformed my physique. If you've been struggling to gain muscle on a plant-based diet or just want to understand nutrition better, I reveal the truth most "hardgainers" don't want to hear: it's not your metabolism, it's your actual caloric intake. Discover how I went from believing I ate "a lot" to tracking 5,000 daily calories and finally breaking through my plateau.
