I don't think its good idea as i am already taking more stuff then protein? If i take eggs daily, milk, green food and other stuff which you guys suggested and exercise plus whey protein... is that enough?http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlThu, 10 Apr 2008 06:33:29 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlQuoting: BourblasterI am going to go out on a limb here and say you are probably an ectomorph who consumes a scant 2000 calories a day. You need to eat, and eat a lot. I would consider at least 3000 calories and 200 grams of protein daily. If you are still doing that with 5 days of lifting a week, you will gain muscle. :| some strict advice. I don't know why but i can't eat too much.

I wouldn't think of it myself. Just providing an example, since Arun said he was veg, which would be a little easier than vegan.http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlThu, 10 Apr 2008 01:11:28 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlQuoting: CaryD Holy crap... Well I may be a ectomorph by birth also - but how in the heck do you get in 200 grams of protein a day.......... I am fairly sure I can get in 3000 calories if I supplement with hemp oil and whole milk x 2 huge glasses a day....... but wow! Uh...easily? 3 scoops of whey in 2 8oz glasses of 2% is roughly 90 grams right there.

It can be done, but you have to work at it. An excerpt from an interview with Coach Dos: "Like any athlete, a vegan athlete should be eating all day long: snacking on fruits and vegetables, Clif bars, trail mix, etc. Soy or other vegetable protein shakes should become a part of your performance life."...http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlWed, 09 Apr 2008 00:49:33 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_5628_0.htmlYeah, being a veg is going to make it more difficult, but not impossible. Since your goal is just general fitness and to add some muscle I'd say it won't be that hard to achieve with lots of beans, eggs, whey, milk, yogurt, and soy.
