Building muscle on a plant-based diet is entirely achievable with proper planning.
Key considerations:
  • Ensure sufficient protein from diverse sources: legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, nuts, seeds.
  • Combine different plant proteins to get all essential amino acids.
  • Focus on calorie-dense plant foods (nuts, avocados, grains) to hit surplus.
  • Supplement B12, Iron, Zinc, Calcium, Omega-3s if diet is limited.
"Plants can absolutely power performance and muscle growth."
