I’m another proponant of
I spend alot of time there. I’ve learned that it’s not how much protein you get(the amount bodybuilders need, most people get without trying). It’s about the workout. There’s a ripped guy on that site that only eats fruit and nuts; he reminds people in his sig to stop fussing over protein and “shud up and train”.

That gym guy’s diet secret made me laugh out loud. I’ll bet he’s huge, but it’s not all muscle. He’s retaining water and toxins….and storing the exess protien, but not as muscle.

But if you’re sure you want the buff american look, eat alot of grain, nuts, oil, avocado.

Everybody’s different when it comes to gaining muscle. So find your own way.

it depends, if you want to be toned and defined then eating heaps of nuts, seeds, legumes and beans will be more than enough. chic peas and lentils are particularly good.

Ive been doing this for about 6 months now with a strength building program and cycling to work.

I have continued to put on muscle, gain tone and have slimmed further down as well.

there is protein in everything we eat in varying in amounts. vegetables and grains all have protein, nuts seeds and legumes just contain more.

its in the exercise that all the work is done.

if you look at this site:

youll see some vegan body builders.

if you actually want to go passed being defined and tonned and look like the guys on that site then it will probably be easier to see results with a protein powder.

ive ordered myself a hemp seed protein powder and im going to give that a go and see how it works. i would rather use this than a soy based one because you never know whats in a lot of the soy ones, they can be genetically modified, processed, filled out with sugars and contain all sorts of nasty stuff.

protein powders are hard on your liver and your kidneys, just like the excessive protein in meat is. so im going to be eating more beetroot and carrots, and ill probably get juice of that wheverever i can.

High protein foods include:
soy milk, tofu, nuts(Almonds, Cashews, Filberts, Hemp Seeds, Peanuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts (black)), seeds, legumes(Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lima beans, Navy beans, Soybeans, Split peas), grains(Barley, Brown rice, Buckwheat, Millet, Oatmeal, Rye, Wheat germ, Wheat, hard red, Wild rice), vegetables(Artichokes, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green peas, Green pepper, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Mustard green, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnip greens, Watercress, Yams, Zucchini), fruits(Apple, Banana, Cantaloupe, Grape, Grapefruit, Honeydew melon, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry)

Good luck, don’t let people try and scare you away from being a vegetarian. It is great for your body and health. Most people that will tell you otherwise have done little to no research on being vegetarian and can’t see their own diet without meat so they push their own fears and false knowlege on people looking to become a vegetarian

Google “Flexitarian Diet”. Follow the suggestions on the websites you find and you will build muscle fast and still be nutritionally healthy.

Otherwise you will have to “bulk” up on all kinds of supplements and massive amounts of plant life to make up for the deficiency in the veggie head diets. You might want to Google “Flexitarian Diets” and take a look at that.

Are you the next hero?

Soybeans, dry (2oz) 18g
Peanuts, fresh (2oz) 13g
Black-eyed beans, dry (2oz) 12g
Lentils, dry (2oz) 12g
Red kidney beans, dry (2oz) 11g
Cashew nuts (2oz) 8.9g
Baked potato (7oz) 8.7g
Tofu (3.5oz) 8g

notice that very small servings (2oz) offer a lot of protein.

In comparison, milk only has 2g of protein for a 2oz serving.
