Vegan Bodybuilding with Nutrition Tips and Recipes

Submitted by Chia on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 9:51pm.

Nutrition Tips from Body Builders

Plant Based Protein Sources

"Plant foods contain the same eight amino acids as animal foods do, only in differing amounts. As long as you are getting enough calories from a healthy diet, plant foods give you all the amino acids you need, by themselves or in combination with one another.

Foods listed below are considered complete proteins, meaning they contain all of the essential amino acids:

Nuts

Sprouted seeds -- each type of sprout has differing proportions of nutrients, so it's best to eat a variety of them

Grains, especially amaranth and quinoa, are highest in protein and are high-quality proteins

Beans and legumes

Spirulina and chorella (blue-green algae), which are over 60 percent protein

Soy foods, such as tofu, tempeh, miso, and soy milk

Quinoa Recipes

Quinoa and Other High Protein Grains

Beans and Lentils
