Can a vegetarian become a pro?

That's as good as it gets, it seems. Being vegetarian certainly has its drawbacks.

Ghuman swears offs eggs, fish, and any type of meat.

Though, If he eats dairy, then he is not a vegan.

There are many kinds of vegetarianism.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian - Eats dairy. Eats eggs. No meat of any kind.
Ovo vegetarian - Eats eggs. No dairy of any kind. No meat of any kind.
Lacto vegetarian - Eats dairy. No eggs. No meat of any kind.
Vegan vegetarian - Strictest form of vegetarianism. Only fruits, vegetables, whole grains (nothing processed), seeds, nuts and legumes.

Also, let us remember that Pearl was pretty much done competing when he went vegetarian.

And he is a Lacto-ovo vegetarian. I have articles with him talking about it.

The two I think of are Steve Brisbois and Andreas Cahling.

Steve is said to be a nice guy, but let’s be honest, he is a 5’3” dwarf.

Cahling won Mr. International once, but his physique was nothing to write home about.

Being a vegetarian bodybuilder is like playing the game on hard mode.

Agreed.

You have to eat a lot of beans, tofu (soybean curd), and nut butters (almond butter, peanut butter, etc.) to get the protein.

He's Lacto vegetarian.

Without the eggs, it makes it all that much harder to get protein from real food.

Being a vegetarian myself (no meats of any kind, no fish), i find eggs go a long way. I can just live on the eggs, it's more than sufficient for protein needs + the food i eat anyways, and on top supplemental protein, if i find i am falling short.

I hear what you're saying, Randy.

But the more fanatical ones (vegans) would consider your eating of eggs to still be eating animal products.

They wouldn't consider you to be vegetarian unless you were strict vegan.

A question that Falcon should answer.

Vegetarianism is for lesser beast than man.

I'd drink my protein straight from the tap before i'd rely on pea protein and humus for my aminos.
