                                According to the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, there is little evidence that vegetarian diets are better than omnivorous diets for improving athletic performance, and the reverse is also true. The question of whether a non-vegetarian diet is superior for athletic performance, muscle growth, and recovery is a complex issue, hinging on nutrient density, bioavailability, and individual needs.
