Do Athletes Need to Eat Meat?

Do athletes truly need to eat meat?

Here are 4 reasons why a meat based diet comes up short when it comes to athletic performance; meat has too much protein, meat has too few carbohydrates, meat has no essential nutrients, and meat is overly stimulating to the body.

If you want to thrive and enjoy your sport for a lifetime, eat a healthy plant based, vegan diet.

Keep up with the high energy lifestyle daily...

Hello man, I had a question

I am a 17 year old tennis player who is soon about to go for university sports who has recently become a pure vegetarian(no eggs as well), my parents were shaky with my decision but did not support veganism at all. Now both of them ask me to eat meat saying that I need it to grow taller, and that my base for my body is based on how I eat till 19 and after that it doesn't matter what I eat. I feel very guilty even consuming dairy. It is very horrifying to be honest. But also it is scary when people around me ask me to eat meat and eggs saying that it can affect me for a lifetime if I dont eat meat regularly till the age of 19(till the age where I can grow).What do I do?My university as well has a lot of meat options and USA in general has many meat eaters which is where my university is located.So in a way, even in university there are not many vegetarian or vegan options especially for athletes who travel once a week and are on the road during weekends.Also, meat has no vitamin c, carbs or fiber..I understand that but nobody is gonna stick to a diet that only has meat ya..people will obviously include plants in their diet which cover up the nutrients. I would really appreciate it if you answer my question and give me some clarity on the diet comment I passed.

Thank you for reading and keep the awesome content

If you want to or think you need to eat Meat, then eat it raw or Rare, , cooking fully makes it usually and it's hard to digests.

Add in Moringa to your families diets it's awesome. 9 times the protein of yogurt, 10 times the vitamin A of carrots, 15 times of potassium of bananas, 17 times the calcium of milk, 12 times of vitamin C of oranges and 25 times of Iron of spinach.  ☺ ☺ ☺ ♥

great information
I've been eating a vegan diet for 11 years now. and I'm getting back to coaching hockey goalies this season.
I want to teach them about veganism. I started my research here with this video. Great video until out of the blue I saw a close up shot of a poor scared, suffering animal crying. It was one of the most graphic horrific images I've ever seen. I'm here crying my eyes out and I can't stop. I'm trying to start my day and I can't, it's going to take some time to get back to the calm relaxed state I was in a few minutes ago when I got up.
Needless to say I won't be traumatizing the young girls I will be coaching with this video or any like it. They will still get the information just not from you. I'd apologize but I don't think I'm the one who has to.
You must know that kids are looking for this information and are seeing this.
You need to ask yourself why in the middle of all this peace and calm and happiness with your beautiful kids in the video, did you feel it necessary to show what essentially is someone else's kids scared for it's life and about to be senselessly murdered.
I am a bunny parent. I have two beautiful bunnies. they are my kids. that's what I saw.
You should be ashamed. Asshole.
