How Vegetarians and Vegans Can Eat For Muscle Building
My article earlier on eating clean sketches out simple nutrition guidelines for you. Nonetheless, I received an email from a vegetarian wanting some tips.
For sure, Protein is one of the highly vital "macro nutrients" you need to build muscle and to help you get well from your strength training. Majority of specialists recommend at least 1g per pound of bodyweight each day.
But most of the opinion for getting protein involves consuming stuff vegetarians and vegans can't - if that describes you, read this article for muscle building nutrition advice for vegetarians and vegans...
In What Way Vegetarians & Vegans Eat?
Nearly everyone consume a lot of vegetables, legumes, fruits, tofu and soy. Several kinds eat eggs & dairy products too. But no animal flesh (meat, fish or poultry).
* Lacto-ovo Vegetarians. Does not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, consumes only dairy and egg products.
* Lacto Vegetarians. No eggs as well as animal flesh. Consumes dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and cream.
* Ovo Vegetarians. Eat eggs, but no dairy and no animal flesh.
* Vegans. Does not eat any animal products or byproducts.
Problems You'll Run Into With Vegeterianism & Veganism.
Vegetables and fruits are good for fiber, vitamins and minerals. Green vegetables are also good because they raise your alkalinity levels and counteract acidic foods like meat. Here's a few "problems" you'll run into eating like this though:
* Allergic reactions - if all you eat is dairy and eggs you for protein, then you can run into lactose intolerance, acne, or other allergic reactions from all the dairy food
Low Testosterone - meats, eggs, and dairy products have saturated fat and cholesterol which enhance testosterone. If your T levels are down you'll have a reduced amount of muscle, less strength, less energy, lagging libido, higher body fat, and less of an "ambition"
Good Sources of Protein for Vegeterians & Vegans
It's simple when you're lacto and/or ovo. Just don't consume meat and follow my other eating nutritious rules to get your protein: whey protein, cheese, eggs, milk, and so on. If you're vegan, there's a few extra sources of protein:
* Beans. Black, garbanzo, hummus, kidney, fava, winged, mungo, lima
* Legumes. Snow peas, chick pea, cow peas, peas, lentils ...
