I'd just like to point out that none of what you posted constitutes necessity. Simply lacking motivation does not make meat a staple of the bodybuilding diet. That said, it's remarkably easy to hit your macros on a plant based diet (there are vegan bodybuilding supplements as well). Obviously if you have no desire to do so then there's no point, but you did mention you'd be more inclined toward it if you weren't lifting, so I assume you must have some small reason to take an interest. I just don't like seeing nutritional misinformation. Being in the fitness community for years now, this happens more than you'd expect.

  • I am well aware of the misinformation that goes on. I am heavily immersed in the fitness community. I guess we'll just have to leave it at that. I will still strongly recommend against a vegan diet for body builders due to the sheer effort needed to do that. Eating meat makes it so much easier to reach your macros. And it's not like it's unhealthy to eat meat, but whatever. You do what you want and I'll do what I want.

    Not sure what you mean by "sheer effort" because I can vouch that it isn't significantly harder (and countless others can as well). So I'd appreciate if you didn't go around saying that. It demonstrates the lack of nutritional education I was talking about.

  • You have no idea what you are talking about. you are just spouting the uneducated statements of other vegans. Putin ignore him, everything you have said is correct. A vegan diet in almost every catagory requires a 1:10 ratio to equal the same nutrients of meat. In some cases even 1:20 This massive consumption of fiberous foods actually increases the risk of colon cancer exponentially.
