I want to do some serious muscle building, but I am a vegetarian and a woman, so I don’t exactly know what to eat to supplement my workout. I don’t even eat fish. I can eat eggs, and is it better to eat the whole egg or just the white? I just need to know how to get a lot of protein on a college girl’s budget. Thanks in advance!
If your eating a balanced vegetarian diet that includes: peas, beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains; you don’t have to worry about protein. Unless your cholesterol is high eat the whole egg.
Some veggie and even meat eating Athletes include protein drinks in their diet. You may want to speak to your coach about this.

eggs are a good source and so are yogurts

All of the nutrients are in the egg yolk, so eat whole eggs. Peanut butter is a great source of protein and calories. Beans are super cheap and full of protein and fiber. You can get frozen edamame (soybeans) in the veggie section of the grocery store. You just boil them and eat them. They are a great side dish or snack.

meat is a source of complete proteins.
and beans and such are incomplete sources of proteins.
all you have to do is vary your types of vegetable sources to get all essential amino acids.

If you’re getting plenty of protein from your diet–from beans, soy, whole grains, and seeds– it shouldn’t be a huge concern for normal activity. However, since building muscle requires a little bit more than that, I’d suggest a protein powder. If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, they have a wonderful soy protein shake that’s completely vegan, and costs about $5 for a huge tub. It’s unflavored, so it’s best to drink it in a smoothie or a shake to mask the soy-ish taste.
Here’s a review of the powder: http://tinyurl.com/tjsoy

Hello
According to me you can get so much protein from eating beans and soy products.Beans contain so much protein and it is also good for health.Soya milk is also good.Thank you very much.
I take pleasure in the comments on this web site, it really gives it that community feel!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
