Can vegetarians gain weight?

Claude Gloden: Certainly. You just need to eat the right combinations of food, so that you get enough protein and healthy fats in your diet.

A step beyond vegetarian is vegan, and if you can build mass on a vegan diet, you certainly can do so on a vegetarian diet. Here are some example of some vegan athletes, several of whom show solid muscle mass - if they can build muscle, you can do it as well: http://www.greatveganathletes.com/And here's something from the NY Times on a vegan diet and athletics. Again, that's not a vegetarian diet, but since a vegan diet is more restrictive, if they can do it, a vegetarian can as well:http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/20/can-athle......Show more
