Many bodybuilders are vegetarians.
There’s a lot of protein in plant material. A person won’t be lacking for protein.
“There’s a lot of protein in plant material. A person won’t be lacking for protein.”
Sure, but you have to consume a lot of plants, and the proper variety, to get enough protein. By contrast, just a bit of meat a day will fulfill most of your needs.
There’s a reason that herbivores spends all day eating and predators can just do what they need to in order to score a meal, then laze around in the sun the rest of the day.
I’ve never heard of a vegitarian body builder. Lots of them I knew did eat only fish and birds though.
“Many bodybuilders are vegetarians.”
Do you have a link to support this claim?
My impression by reading Bodybuilding.com and learning about what serious bodybuilders eat I really can’t find any vegetarians.
My impression is that only about one percent of bodybuilders who compete are vegetarians.
Plant material has “protein” but beans and legumes do not have the same quality as fish, eggs, chicken or beef.
