Answers:
You should take protein rich diet to develop your muscles along with proper excercise!. For vegetarian people all sorts of dal, sprouts are the only source of proteins beside milk and milk products!. Proteins are heavy to digest so be careful also not to make your stomach upset!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

vegatarian diet is best for body building!.good source of carbs!.just after your workout you should eat some thing high in sugar because after exercise your body is low in glycogen levels!.but during any other time of the day sugar i really bad for you!.so half an hour after you workout eat fast digesting carbohydrates like potatoes,white rice,sports drink,catalopeetc !.these carbohydrates are high in sugar!.remember don't eat them any other time because they can make you fat!.just after exercise if you eat fast digesting carbohydrates they help you recover and decreases cortisol!.cortisol is a stress harmone !. when you exercise intense your cortisol levels go high which is bad for you!.if your cortisol levels are high them automatically your testosterone levels go down!.we need testosterone!.just after exercise eat high sugar carbohydrates but not to much!.one potato or a bowl of rice!.by doing this you are going to get your lost energy back!.rest of the day eat lentils,bananas,appler,carrots,brown rice etc!.
