Publisher's Synopsis
How can I become vegetarian and not compromise my health or athletic performance? Athletes who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet usually have two concerns. One is that vegetarian and vegan diets are typically low in calories. But athletes have increased calorie needs depending on the frequency, duration, and intensity of their physical activity. Second, vegetarian and vegan diets tend to restrict essential nutrients that are primarily found in animal sources: Protein, iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, and omega-3 fats. These nutrients are crucial to support muscle synthesis and recovery, bone density, and oxygen transport.
