re: Switching to vegetarian diet

on a vegan diet, you can't have eggs and milk.
And to be clear, I was speaking of using powders, eggs and fish to get full protein requirements.
Junky is speaking more from strictly plants and veggies to get enough protein and he is correct that you can not get even close to enough protein without some type of supplementation or using any diary, eggs or animal products at all.
The bodybuilders I speak of supplement their diets with these items because you aren't getting enough protein from rice and beans.

quote:what about rice beans seeds soy etc. There are some folks ONLY eating fruits and veggies, but for the most part it's more than that.

Ps this thread is about "vegetarian" not "vegan"... so we are assuming dairy + eggs are in the diet. No problem with B+D vitamins
Eta Just made a smoothie with 5 cups spinach, 2 bananas and 5 strawberries....(bleh bleh sugar). Did I get 0 protein from that? I drank it because I'm sick of having this damn cold but seriously, is that what junky is implying? Or is he saying I got LESS than what i projected I would get. (I didn't do the math on the protein fwiw except google said 3.6g from the spinach)

Enough for someone who weight trains and wants to add muscle or enough for the average sedentary American to maintain and not lose muscle?
