How to bulk up?

Thanks for the advice, guys.

One last question: Is whey protein recommended?

Yes,especially on waking and around workouts.

Powders(including Casein/soy etc) are particularly useful for you as you may otherwise struggle to meeet your quota of protein on a Veg diet.

Hemp powder may also be of interest to you.......

Will I struggle to build muscle as I don't eat meat?

I'm just about to begin the 60 day Insanity workout but their nutrition plan doesn't suit someone like me at all.

Hello i have been vegetarian for several years. I am not a body builder but used to train for size when i was a rugby player and now do MMA. I currently weigh 100kg and have previously been 110kg and have aprox 15% body fat (working on this), so in my experience you can build lean muscle on a veggie diet.

i do not get stresed about my diet to much, just try to have a serving of protein with each meal, whole grains, pulses, loads of eggs, milk then protein milk shakes. i also sprinkle flac seed on my breakfast that tastes fucking awful but is a good source of omega. i do also supplement with fish oil, glutamine and vegan multi vitamins

Are you OK with regards TVP products Ntini ? Always a good way to whack the protein content up with minimal fat mate if you are.

They do 'chicken pieces', 'mince' etc mate so if you're decent enough in the kitchen you can easily still enjoy chilli's, curry's, Shepherds/Cottage pie, you can even make your own 'burgers' as long you're OK with an egg to bind it, my Mrs actualy prefers it to the real stuff despite not being a veggie.

Bought two 5kg packets of Sweet potatoes yesterday. I think they are brilliant baked, cooked or in moderate amounts washed and sliced and eaten raw. I use them as a replacement to whole wheat bread and brown rice when I get tired and want a different texture. So they go with veggies, eggs and the rest. Also they are easy to store and can be mashed or cooked in chunks. Price is very reasonable too.

Just started taking CLA tablets. Mixed reviews so far but not all that expensive so thought i would give them a try
Casein protein before bed does the job but tastes like SHITE. Anyway im leaning up but started the protein properly as i was losing muscle with it
