My past article on eating clean sums up simple nutrition guidelines for you. Then again, I got an email from a vegetarian in need of some tips.
Protein is certainly one of the most essential "macro nutrients" you need to build muscle and to help you pull through from your strength training. Nearly all experts suggest no less than 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 Manner Do Vegetarians & Vegans Eat?
The majority eat loads of vegetables, legumes, fruits, tofu and soy. Selected classes consume eggs & dairy as well. But never animal flesh of any kind (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. Eat dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, except eggs.
* Ovo Vegetarians. Eat eggs but not meat or dairy products.
* Vegans. Eat no eggs, no dairy, no animal flesh and no honey.
Complications You'll Encounter With Vegeterianism & Veganism.
Vegetables and fruits are great for vitamins, minerals and fiber. Green vegetables are also good since they boost your alkalinity levels and stabilize acidic foods like meat. Here's a few "problems" you'll run into eating like this though:
* Allergic reactions - As a consequence you can smash into lactose intolerance, acne, or other allergic reactions from all the dairy food if everything you eat is eggs and dairy products for protein
Low Testosterone - meats, eggs, and dairy products have saturated fat and cholesterol which boost testosterone. If your T levels are at a low level you'll have a smaller amount of muscle, less strength, less energy, lagging libido, higher body fat, and less of an "ambition"
Excellent 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. Lima, mungo, winged, fava, kidney, hummus, garbanzo, black ...
* Legumes. Snow peas, chick pea, cow peas, peas, lentils ...
* Whole Grains. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, granola, breads
* Protein Powder. Rice protein, hemp protein, soy protein ...
* Milk. Almond milk, coconut milk, plant milk, rice milk, soy milk ...
* Soy. Soy cheese, deli-style soy meats, soy milk, soy beans, tofu ...
