It would help if you gave us an idea of your goals.
Most importantly, are you looking at the hugest guys that are with the IFBB?
Please keep in mind that steroid use became commonplace among mainstream competitors in the 70s.
The exaggerated physiques that are found on the covers of bodybuilding magazines are all the result of synthetic hormones unless they are described as natural bodybuilders.
If you don't plan on being a lying cheat and another distorter of people's body self-images by taking steroids, don't have the highest expectations of becoming a hulking freak.

I have a good example of a marathoner for you.

no i carbohidrates are essential to develop muscles ....and more important.... brain power.... an aquitance of me are both vegetarian and a fool , but im not shure if both things are related
just go to a healthfood store and a vitamin store and get protein pills.
Eat beans, nuts, fruits and veges. All of the nutrients are available except B12.
Repeat this mantra after me "you don't need to eat muscle to gain muscle".

Do you mean vegetarian or vegan bodybuilding?
If you are a vegetarian and you want non dairy protein, you can use egg (albumen) proteins.
If you are a vegan (no milk or eggs), then you can get rice, pea, or soy protein at most major health stores like Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, etc.
To build muscle (called bulking), you need an excess of calories to work with. You need to find your maintenance calories and then add 500 to that number. That will be the number of calories you need to eat in a day to help build muscle. If you are cutting (losing fat), then you would subtract 500 from your maintenance calories to get your cutting calories.
Great vegan sources of protein are beans (lentils), nuts (almonds, walnuts), seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), and peanut butter.
Most bodybuilders try to get a macronutrient ratio of about 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats. However, I would recommend 30% protein, 55% carbs, and 15% fats. Try out different macros and see what works for you.
there are several sites which deal with body building from a raw food standpoint:
two articles about raw vegan foods and body building are:
