Vegie-Building

[NINJA PIMP]

Hey guys.

I just got a membership to the gym and it is amazing the differenc I feel after just a few days. I am psyched to finally be improving myself in this aspect.

Here are my specs

5´10"
160 lbs
Super Ectomorph!
I can bench about 150
I also do sprints every morning
Overall I am in good shape..just need some more mass.

So far so good, but my real question is about diet.

See, I dont eat meat at all. Been a pseudo-Veg for about a year now.

I do eat fish and other seafood, but red meat and chicken are just plain gross to me and if I started eating them again I would get terribly ill!

So my question is, are there any Vegie-Builders out there?

How can I put on some muscle mass without consuming pounds of meat?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

cheers

If you can eat seafood/ fish, eggs and milk then I don't see the problem really in putting on mass. You are ingesting three different sources for essential/ first class proteins, which is good.

There are plenty of vegetarian bodybuilders out there, though vegan bodybuilders (no fish or dairy either) are more of a rarity.

Put on the mass by eating the other 3 protein sources. You can also get all your amino acids IF you eat a very large range of different vegetables, nuts/ seeds and wholegrains.

Too many calories. Not enough proteins. They're like 45% fat man.

Beans have tons of proteins. Also tuna.

You'll be ok man.
