Hi all,
I am sure this topic has come up many times before, but please do help me out.
I recently turned vegetarian and am finding it hard going now that I am training a lot harder than I used to. I eat a lot of pasta and potatoes, aswell as drinking a load of milk. However, I feel that I am not gaining as much muscle tissue as I did the last time I was training up to competition standard (about a year and a half ago - I really let myself go:) and I was hitting the steak big time.
Could anyone offer any dietry tips or book/web site recommendations on the subject. esp wrt bean curd (ie tofu) and how much to eat a day, and also how the hell do you make it taste palletable! - it really is disguisting.
Any help would be much welcomed :)
