You need a lot of protein to build muscle mass but vegetarian or vegan foods are thought to be lacking protein. so, can you actually build muscles through vegetarian diet? Answer: Yes, it's possible to build muscle on a vegetarian or vegan diet by ensuring you consume adequate protein from plant-based sources such as beans, lentils, tofu, quinoa, and nuts. You may also consider supplementing with pea protein or soy protein powder to meet your protein needs.

I personally know people who have succeeded because having a lot of muscles does not mean that it was necessary to eat a lot of meat, because the main reason is in the fat and the same nutritional functions that are in meat can be obtained from other products

I think it's possible just a little harder and would take longer.

I am a vegetarian, I was a muscular man, now normal, but still fit to fight, strength is not over.
Cannot tell you about vegan, but that works too, many people cannot digest milk products. Yet most of strong people here are milkaholic.

Yes I very much believe it's possible, but then again it's not just about what you eat, but your workout routines also play an important role. There are specific workouts we need to do to be able to gain muscles.

Absolutely, it is possible to build plenty of muscle on a vegetarian or vegan diet. The key is ensuring you consume enough high-quality plant-based protein sources like lentils, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and protein powders.

A lot of people think the vegetarian diet is not enough for a strong body. It is not true. While non veg has its benefit, veg is sufficient if you know how to make use of it.

I'm also trying to train with more plant-based foods because I don't like how I feel after eating even though there are a lot of energizing ingredients. For some reason it seems to me that after fruits and vegetables I feel much better
