Protein and Building Muscle
Posted by admin on July 1st, 2008
Whether you want to build size and/or strength, you should be eating a complete protein source at every meal. A complete protein is one that has the complete spectrum of essential amino acids. This generally means animal protein.
To get the same amino acids from vegetable proteins requires you to correctly combine two or more protein sources. An example of a combination would be brown rice and kidney beans. I am not saying that you can’t get your protein requirements as a vegetarian, I think it is just a little harder to do.
