Of Course Yes!!
“Dude, you just can't build muscle on a vegetarian” --- An Old Philosophy.
In today’s bodybuilding world, if any trainer says such type of answers, this completely means, he/she is not a professional bodybuilder. This is because of the latest scientific proven results, which says, a vegetarian can build muscle and gain strength just like meat eaters.
So, No need to get demoralized for a single thing if you are a veggie and have a passion to become a bodybuilder. According to research, we have mentioned some veggie meals that one can follow as their daily diet and intake maximum required proteins and minimum carbohydrates or Fats. The list includes:
RICE AND BEANS: A single cup of black beans and one cup of cooked brown rice include 20 grams protein and 77 grams carbohydrates.
DAIRY: 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese contains 22 – 32 grams protein & 8 – 12 grams carbohydrate. 1 cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt contains 20 to 25 grams protein & 6 to 12 grams carbohydrate.
EGGS: A whole egg contains all 9 essential amino acids and 6 grams protein and 4 – 4.5 gram fat. Egg without yolk includes all protein without the fat.
TOFU: 1/2 of a typical 14-Oz block of extra firm tofu contains 20 grams protein, 8 grams fat, & 4 grams carbohydrate.
TEMPEH: One 3 ounce serving of soya-only tempeh has 17g Protein, 7g Fats, & 9g carbohydrates.
PROTEIN POWDERS: 1 serving of protein powder includes 12 and 25g proteins, 5 grams carbohydrates and 2 grams Fat.
FAKE MEATS, NUTS AND SEEDS: The Fake Meats, Nuts and seeds do have protein, and some of them, like hemp seeds, are a complete protein source.
SUPPLEMENTS: Supplementing with creatine is a must for a muscle-building veggie. Supplements are required to intake Proteins, vitamin D, vitamin B12, Omega-3 fatty acids and more.
