Vegan Diet - Vegan Diet Recipes for Building Muscle

By Mathew Coleman

Vegan Diet - Vegan Diet Recipes for Building Muscle - Eat Green, Get Lean and Cut

With each passing week, it seems like more and more celebrities are embracing the vegan lifestyle, moving away from meat and poultry in their diets toward a more plant-based nutritional regimen.

The health benefits of a vegan diet have long been part of public knowledge. However, a lot of people looking to add muscle have been hesitant to go vegan because they doubt they can build muscle the way they want.

The good news is that it not only is possible to gain muscle mass with the right vegan diet, but that you can gain just as successfully as people training on a protein diet that includes meat and poultry. At the same time, you get all of the nutritional benefits that come from eating vegan.

If you think about it, it makes sense that this would work: animals like gorillas, oxen and horses are all herbivores, and they are powerful beasts. Clearly, meat is not a requirement when it comes to building muscle mass and strength.

If you want to compile a meal plan that helps you gain muscle mass, your objectives are simple. You will have to have a calorie surplus, so you have to take in more calories than you will burn through exercise and metabolic activity.

Your calories come from such sources as vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains, making sure that your protein intake is adequate. Use exercise to build demand for additional muscle by training vigorously and giving yourself time to recover. These are goals that you have to attain over time, with discipline, so that your body has time to make the positive changes that you want.

Use this book to give yourself the nutritional edge that you need so that you will gain the muscle mass that you desire while also gaining the nutritional advantages that come from eating vegan.

1: It’s All About the Protein

You might think that putting together a meal plan based on plants that will give you the muscle mass you want is difficult. However, it is not as hard as you might think. Successful muscle mass addition begins and ends with protein, so this is where the conversation should begin.

The quick answer is that you get protein from just about every type of food that you eat. All foods that come from whole plants have protein in them, so if you get the caloric intake that you need, you will also get the protein that you need to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

You don’t have to worry about matching and mixing different types of proteins; so long as you achieve enough
