I am thinking of going completely vegetarian... I don't each much meat now anyways... mostly just fish once or twice a week. Is it OK to have my complete proteins sources come ONLY from egg whites, whole eggs, protein powder, soy milk, skim milk, and greek yogurt or cottage cheese? At LEAST 3 or 4 meals with 8 egg wjites/ a couple whole eggs a piece and then the other meals would have either yogurt or protein powderor milk or c.c. as a complete protein?
I am concerned that this will inhibit my bulk and my ability to gain muscle, but I am doing this for personal, ethical reasons that I feel strongly about. So will the lack of variety hurt my growth/nutrition/health? Will I gain MORE muscle if I eat meat? Also, last question, does 200 grams of asparagus (100 cals, 10 grams protein) and nonfat cheddar cheese (7 grams protein) = a complete protein? Is that an ok "snack"? THANK YOU!
