    Try eating the same number of calories on a vegan diet. It’s hard. More fiber fills you quicker. The diets can’t equate both satiety and calories. Lower calories on a vegan diet is a feature, not a bug.

      Nonsense, plenty of vegan foods high in carbs, sugar, and fats are more calorie dense than lean protein.

      Anyway increasing calories in a vegan diet isn’t the only option available. they also could have reduced the calories in the omnivore diet by reducing carbs and fats, increasing fiber, etc. they gave the omnivore twins a larger calorie intake for no reason.
