But there are SUBSTITUTES when it comes to getting protein, right? Meaning, you can eat potatoes or some shit and still get protein....Jokerman talked about this like 5 times already.
The powered supplements are making me sick.
The main source for protein for vegetarians is lentils, beans, peas, etc etc. I posted about this a LOT in the other threads because it has been something I have been doing for a year.
Its stopped working for me, Ive topped out so to speak. Im burning weight quicker than I put it on.
Perhaps if I was some pale hippy that sits at home it would be fine, but right now Im boxing and going to the gym three times a week. So I am pretty active and Im just burning weight and losing muscle.
Im not going to eat eight different types of beans and lentils 10 times a day. I dont have the time to do that.
My blood work shows I am missing Vitamin B12 as well.
Im not risking my body and health.
Like I said, if I lived a boring lifestyle, wanted to be thin, and just SUSTAINED, a vegetarian diet is fine.
If I wanted to build using steroids, a vegetarian diet is fine.
But Im not doing either of those.
This is my body and my lifestyle, no know-it-all on a forum who doesnt know me or my life can fucking pass judgement on what I should do to stay healthy.
Right now I am eating chicken breast (high in protein) two or three times a week according to training and we will see how it goes. Ill then try to cut back if I can, or perhaps it more if need be.
