he really should eat less from protein shakes and get more from eggs and such, like you said... although I get a crapload of protein from whey, (on weights days) it still is under half of my protein...

Real food is always better.

Eggs, milk, ff/sf yoghurt, cottage cheese, tofu/soy (fermented soy products) are all complete proteins. Throw in a good amount of legumes (bean, lentils), nuts/seeds (walnuts, almonds, linseed, peanuts) and some grains and he should not have to rely on protein powder to such an extent.

Vegans... Why is it cool to kill and eat trees? Just because they donīt scream?

If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, does it really make a sound?

^ yes because the animals hear it.

Actually your friend is a vegetarian not a vegan if he eats any type of animal product such as cheese or eggs. Also your friend can obtain more than enough nutrition to gain strength without consuming animal products. My buddy is a vegan and hes on a fully ride scholarship to University of Michigan for wrestling. One of the strongest most athletic people I know.

tofu, tempeh, and meat analogs.
