Don’t get too pulled into the old stigma “got to eat steak to grow!”. I know several vegetarian BB’s with awesome bodies. In fact, they have (without the meat) probably better diets than most meat eaters I see. The reason is they have become experts at food combining for a complete protein (e.g. Dairy plus legume > complete). If you really want to be a meat eater, go ahead (AND tell your folks- they’ll find out soon enough anyway). But if you’re doing it cos you feel pressurised to, or you think it’s gonna turn you into a hulk overnight, then hold off and start doing some research. Search around the web for vege BB sites etc. You may find becoming a nutrition expert will make all the difference. SRS
