Tag: Plant based muscle gain

According to a 2022 review in *Cureus*, plant-based diets have been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Achieving a high protein intake, like 120g a day as a vegan, is completely achievable and can support muscle growth, satiety, and overall health with smart planning.

Studies have shown that vegans can build muscle just as effectively as those on an omnivorous diet, provided they plan their nutrition carefully. This article provides a comprehensive guide to successfully bulk on a vegan diet by focusing on the right calories, protein sources, and supplements.

According to an observational study of competitive bodybuilders, vegan athletes achieved a sufficient energy surplus during the bulking phase, just like their omnivorous counterparts. However, the real question is, is it harder to bulk as a vegan, and what strategies are necessary for success?

Elite vegan athletes, including strongman Patrik Baboumian, have conclusively shown that it is possible to build significant muscle mass on a plant-based diet. This dispels the myth that animal products are essential for bulking and paves the way for successful vegan gains.

According to a 2013 study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the average vegan already consumes 70% more protein than they need. This guide will show you how to easily and effectively achieve a high-protein goal, specifically how to get 100 grams of protein per day on a plant-based diet, without relying on animal products.
