| Feb 2, 2017 at 0:56 | comment | added | WetlabStudent | @djechlin no, if you have any disease you talk to your doctor (and potentially a registered dietitian as well because doctors have very little training in nutrition, but your doctor can prescribe a consult) about what to do. All I was saying is if you have a disease ignore this advice. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 22:21 | comment | added | djechlin | @MHH no, if you have a rare disease, you talk with your doctor about what to do. As an athlete, I'm not sure. For my personal level of athleticism I don't need to worry about protein. I've also never specifically tried to bulk muscle. Your suggested dietary plan involves eating a lot of calories to catch up on protein. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 21:53 | comment | added | WetlabStudent | @djechlin of course there may be an exception for people like professional athletes, and people with particular rare diseases. In such cases just eat a lot of different types of food, any of rice, root vegetables such as potatoes, greens and grains combined with either beans, nuts or seeds throughout the week (no need to be in the same meal) for a complete protein. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | djechlin | @MHH you definitely eat less protein as a vegan. Some people are protein deficient just anyway and I can only imagine becoming vegan would be risky. And there's not a ton of literature on athletic performance which was a concern for me for a while. Although I admit I did eventually ignore the concern and haven't noticed. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 7:32 | comment | added | WetlabStudent | Great answer, except protein is of zero worry for vegans. It is incredabily difficult to plan a protein deficient vegan diet, you'd basically have to be fructarian to not get enough protein. Even if you didn't eat any beans or nuts at all you would still meet your protein requirements with other whole grains and vegetables assuming you ate sufficient calories. | |
