Weight gain for vegetarians

ad

Hi,
I'm vegetarian and struggle to get a high number of cals and protein without using shakes etc. Any other veggies out there with a solution?
Cheers

Posted already but just in case some of you missed it.....

It is possible to be vegan/veggie and grow

One example

Check out Patric Baboudian too (sp.)

Also we are forgetting the legendary vegetarian BBers of days gone by?!?!

Did you know that if you put the words "And Shit" and the end of any sentence it makes you sound bass ass? Just saying, I'm fucking up a baconator as we speak

Quinoa-8 grams per 1 cup
buckwheat-6 grams per 1 cup
soy firm 15 grams per 1/2 cup
quorn 13 grams per 1/2 cup
rice and beans 7 grams per 1 cup
seitan 21 grams per 1/3 cup
hummas 7 grams per 2 tablespoons with a pita
peanut Butter 15 grams 2tabelspoons on when bread

these are just a few but there are plenty of options it will be harder you just really have to make the most out of each meal and get creative

I am vegan too. I eat animals who eat vegetables.

Vegans do not eat meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any foods containing them. A vegan diet relies on plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds.

Not hard at all to grow on a vegan diet.....you just have to think outside the box and learn.

Most meat heads are ignorant to the world of plant based proteins....I eat less meat now than ever and feel better for it....

In order to get big you need your beef,your steak, your pies to provide to your self the necessary amino acids.

You know some of the biggest animals on earth don't eat meat.

Exactly....yet most people here think you must eat meat to grow!
