Can i gain muscle by being a vegetarian?!
Answers: Can i gain muscle by being a vegetarian , becasue i saw the slaughter houses and i don't want to eat something that gose through more pain than anything else.
Yes, in fact many top athletes in the world are on a vegetarian or vegan diet. Focus on protein and complex carbohydrates, I would reccomend Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain bread, it is a complete protein AND extremely nutritious, as well as high-calorie food like avocados; enjoy plenty of whole grain pastas, tofu, nuts, seeds and beans of all sorts and types.
Of course you can! Just eat foods that are rich in protein, such as fake meats, rice, cheese, etc. and you should be fine.
Make sure you eat fruit n veg that are high in protein & make sure you work out, so yes u can!
Sure. Eat lots of protein. Beans, lentils, chickpeas. Good luck!
If you work out. Same if you're a meat-eater. If you work out.
Yes but you have to eat the right amount of proteins and carbohydrates for the working out.
If you do weight-bearing exercise and the plants you eat (soy, beans) have sufficient protein to biuld muscle FROM or THROUGH the exercise.
supposedly vegetarians are more healthy but you should prolly exercise too. i became a vegetarian like 1 week ago, but i feel really good and a lot more healthy!
Sure, but you would have to exercise.
This website has a lot of information about getting protein as a vegetarian. There's already tons of good answers about sources such as soy, beans, nuts, wheat, various vegetables, milk, and eggs (disregard the last two, if you want to go vegan). It's all about balance really, especially if going as a vegan. You have to make sure to get a variety of sources of protein to get all the amino acids (which make up protein) to get complete proteins.

One of the most common ways of doing this is rice and beans (and you can have all sorts of bean preparations).
Good luck with the transition! Find support online or in friends to help you along.
lots of legumes! eggs are good too!
JUST by being vegetarian? uhh..no. If you work out and HAPPEN to be vegetarian, yes you will still gain muscle.

Having vitality, creativity, fitness, strength...and even building muscles, have nothing to do with meat eating.

You won't build muscle mass as quickly and as solidly as a veg*n as with a well-balanced, moderate diet that is appropriate to rigorous, weight & cardio training, and meditation. This will assure you won't need supplements. You might want to Google "flexitarian diets".
I would disagree that "many" top athletes are strict vegetarians or vegans. That is most certainly true among the top body builders.
