Answer 11

Yes. A big fat juicy steak. Medium rare you know, so it's still a bit bloody.  

Answer 12

Eating doesn't build muscle; exercise does.  Particularly weight lifting or strength training.  I haven't changed my vegan diet at all, but I've been working out hard (1.5 to 2 hours a day) doing cardio and weights, and I've definitely built more muscle.

Answer 13

eggs have a lot of protein in them  

Answer 14

beans and pulses, nuts, cheese, milk, eggs.  Look for high protein foods.

Answer 15

you need a protein rich diet - if you cant eat nuts - then try different types of cheeses - pulses and lentils are also great

you can also buy 'build up' which is a nutritional drink from boots it is vegetarian and great for muscle build up

Answer 16

basically you need protein.  egg whites are a good source of protein and have no cholesterol and very little fat if any.  you can make a huge egg white omelette with your fav veggies.  whole wheat toast.  

Answer 17

There's a vegan protein powder on the market called NitroFusion that is supposed to be even better than whey protein. I plan to get some this week because I read great reviews about it. Google Nitrofusion and protein and you'll see the info.

Answer 18

soy protein shakes.  

Answer 19

You can buy natural whey protein powder from sports shops - with that and a good exercise programme, you'd pile on the muscle.

Answer 20

pacific foods i am not sure although do eat a lot of protein. you can also go to your local health shop Holland and Barret and you can buy this huge tub for gaining muscle, it comes in powder form and you mix it to make a milkshake, i think it puts weight on you which then allows you to turn that extra weight in to more muscle ?.

Answer 21

Soy tofu. Its discusting. But you're a vegetarian so go for it tree hugger :]

Answer 22

Well if you cant eat nuts, can you eat eggs?  Protein builds muscle.  Eggs and Nuts are both filled with protein.  The only other thing I can think of that might have quite a bit of protein it are black beans.
