Top Bodybuilding Suggestions for Vegetarians

By Tommy Marcus


It is generally thought that bodybuilders should be eating big hunks of red meat every day to help them put on muscle, but actually it is not required to have a meat based diet to put get ripped. In the following post we will discuss how vegetarians and vegans could efficiently build muscle without compromising their principals and nutritional selections.

As a vegetarian bodybuilder you could possibly have trouble ingesting a sufficient amount of calories. To combat this, make sure that you constantly carry a packet of nuts and dried fruit with you. Eat frequently. Do careful calorie counts, but be aware of your height, weight, age and your metabolism. You should be consuming about 500 calories above your day-to-day required calorie consumption for optimum muscle development.


Make sure you are correctly dividing up your macronutrient consumption. If you are a skinny ectomorph somatotype, you should be eating 25 % protein, 50 % carbs and 25 % fats. If you often put on weight quickly you belong in the endomorph somatotype group, and in that case you must be consuming as follows: 35 % protein, 45 % carbohydrates and 20 % fats.

For the best bodybuilding, eat 5 to 6 meals a day and consume a lot of water. Water consumption is directly responsible for specific biological processes essential to reduce weight and build muscle. Drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day and always drink after working out.

Veggies which are rich in muscle structure trace elements are: yams, sweet potatoes, kale, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes and peppers. See to it that they are part of your day-to-day diet. Vegetables must not be boiled in water. You can cook them in the oven using a casserole dish with a tight fitting cover. Wash the veggies and put them in the casserole with 50ml of water on the bottom of the pan, to prevent the vegetables from sticking. Cook at medium heat for 60-90 mins. Once the vegetables are cooked you could add salt and a bit of raw olive oil or flax oil.

Eggs are an exceptional type of protein for vegetarians. When the egg is eaten whole and when it is raw, the protein is absorbed much better. Possibly leave scrambled eggs runny or consume a raw egg in a shake. Raw eggs can carry illnesses so it is very important that you find an extremely credible manufacturer of free range eggs. Battery eggs and chickens are a whole lot more vulnerable to disease than healthy free range chickens and eggs.

Weigh powder is an outstanding source of protein however not all weigh protein powders are from a vegetarian source, so make certain to find out about the particular brand name you want to purchase. Also find out about any supplements you could be taking as not all supplements are plant based. Nonetheless, almost anything you could find in the mainstream market you will be able to find in a variation appropriate for vegetarians and for vegans. There are also supplements readily available for Muslims and for orthodox Jews, which are prepared according to exact religious precepts.

Vegans, who do not consume eggs or dairy products, may find it really useful to introduce veggie protein powders into their daily diet plan. The most highly recommended are soya protein, rice protein and hemp protein. Soya is an extremely questionable food stuff and lots of people do not recommend it. Our experience with the dried protein powder is a favorable one. You should however make certain that it is organic as there is a lot of genetically modified soya on the market. Also the dried protein powder seems to be easier to digest than the actual legume. Rice protein is gluten free and this is a big benefit for individuals suffering from any kind of gluten intolerance or IBS.

Vegetarians and vegans will need to be a little more mindful about their diet and invest a bit more time in the kitchen but all in all they will not have a lot of trouble building muscle if they follow our basic guidelines.
