Protein To Help Build Muscle In Vegetarians And Vegans

Legumes

Men, you need the protein power of legumes if you can't get it from meat. You need it even more if you've got to avoid any animal products, including eggs! Brean, lentils, and peas are so great. They're cheap, super cheap, and they're so, so high in protein! How much protein they contain does vary. If you're reaching for lentils, expect 9 grams for each serving. Every cup of chickpeas will give you a whopping 15 grams of protein for each cup. Black beans? Well, they've got almost 8 grams of protein for every 86 grams.

Put lentils in soup and chili. Black beans are delicious in burritos. They're the most delicious! Chickpeas are the backbone of hummus, so don't forget about them either. Include legumes every day, men, and you're going to have huge muscles in no time!
