What Is The Best Body Building Diet For Vegetarians?
Written by admin on January 6, 2009I've been a vegetarian since my birth [Just Vegetarian, not a Vegan]. I'm so thin and short for my age, that I need to build my body now. I eat regularly but don't seem to grow at all. So, tell me the best vegetarian diet to build body.
I'm not sure what exactly you're eating. You say you eat regularly, but that doesn't tell me your exact nutrient profile. Even as an omnivore, you have to eat a proper diet to get proper nutrition.
That being said, eat a proper diet to get proper nutrition! I'm a vegan and I actually pursue bodybuilding. I'm not thin, and I have a more restrictive diet than you do. As a vegetarian, you can still have the gold standard of protein, egg, as well as dairy. Both eggs and dairy (in the form of whey) are highly consumed by bodybuilders because they are so fabulous for protein. I suggest adding more of that to your diet. Don't just cram cheese and sh*t down your throat...actually eat a balanced diet here.

I'm a vegan. I'm not too short for my age (14) but I am really thin. I also eat a lot but I still don't grow that much. As a vegetarian I guess you should eat eggs, milk, grains, nuts, vegetables, beans…but try to not eat too much soy. Sorry if this isn't very helpful, I'm kind of wondering the same thing myself.

Here, this site is great for information about bodybuilding:

You should be aware that veganism is by far the best diet for anyone looking to build muscle and get in shape. If you are currently thin it is likely because (I would assume) you don't work out much. Obviously cutting out meat from your diet isn't a magic solution, you still have to do some work, but it definitely does help! Being vegetarian will give you a huge advantage over omnivores… going vegan is even better, because dairy products especially will weaken your muscles and go against your goals (if you consume a lot of dairy this could be another contributing factor to your thinness).
For diet-related information specifically, I recommend these three sub-links:

Hope this helps!
Good luck!
