Not eating Enough protein?? READ!

Tip of the day: Whether you are a vegetarian or don’t eat enough protein listen up!
 
“Common nutrient deficiencies for vegetarians and vegans are iron, zinc, omega-3 fats, and B12. Just as important, vegetarian athletes and anyone intereste…d in being active and lean needs to focus on getting adequate taurine, carnitine, creatine, glutamine, carnosine, and glycine into their diet for peak performance and energy.
 
Many of these nutrients can be gotten by eating eggs and whole milk dairy, but even so, research shows deficiencies are still a problem, and some nutrients such as omega-3 fats can’t be gotten in large enough quantities from these sources.”
Charles Poliquin
 
Think twice before turning vegan/vegetarian or limiting protein intake!
 
Motivation: You can’t make up pathetic excuses about your eating habits… the eyes tell all! Stop lying to yourself and others and MAN UP!

amandamaryperry: It is definitely possible to get enough protein when you’re vegetarian or vegan, but you have to be a lot more aware of it!
