[Tazorac]

[needtogetaas]

you dont.

beans,nuts,soy protein,also depends on if you will eat eggs and some other things.

"theres plenty of fish in the sea"

What are your reasons for being a veggie?

I own chickens myself so get plenty of eggs, the thought of killing them is awful, but I still eat supermarket meat because me abstaining from meat doesn't stop killing of animals, that's just life, and I love the taste of it...

Are you a vegetarian or vegan?

I vegetarian who has milk and eggs could still develop size (e.g., Bill Pearl).

For a vegan, it is harder no doubt, but I'm sure if you were meticulous with your protein combinations you could grow some size, but I doubt you would reach your potential. Also you should be aware that there is strong evidence that soy increases your estogren levels.

ya, if you watched it enough you might be able to gain a little bit. but you still miss out on some of the best sources of protien. and u have the increased estrogen from soy crap protien.

Best vegetarian sources of protein, per 200 calorie serve are listed below (they are divided into categories). Hope this helps you to some degree, but I strongly doubt you will be as successful as a vegan.
