I'm really into sports. Is it unhelathy if i go vegeterian?

My parents say there is no way i can be the best athlete i can be without protein and b14 from meat. I know this can be resolved in some way. Any advice?

Here is a link to a list of vegan athletes. There are so many sources of vegetarian protien it is rediculous. Here is a site with a list of vegetables and the amount of protien per serving. As for B12, which I'm sure is what you meant, you can get 50%of your daily B12 in one cup of soy milk. You can also get vitamin B12 from seaweed, yeast, and roots. Vitamin B12 is actually a microbe and is composed centrally of cobalt which is what the body actually needs. Neither plants or animals contain vitamin B12 but the microbes found in soil do. If you want to take a vitamin supplement GNC has a very good vegetarian supplement.
