Building Mussel as a Veggie…

Hi guys, I’m a veggie now for various reasons, and wanted to know what the best foods or foods I should be having daily if I’m doing weights 2 – 3 times a week

Any info or ideas would be welcome

low fat cottage cheese is pretty high in protein but if you totally abstain from all meant and fish then you may have to consider protein supplements such as shakes.

Are you able to eat eggses?

Don't mussels grow on their own?

Anyway.... you should take protein shakes as I don't think you are going to get much protein rich food from a vegetarian's diet.

yeah i can eat eggs and cheese no worries, and will be back on the meat & fish in a few months, just supporting someone else for a bit really.
