Can a vegetarian diet work for increasing muscle mass?

In the ACE training manual, this is discussed. Complete protiens are the main drawback for those who exercise and are vegetarian.

Mainly, we want to focus on ingesting foods that provide a complete amino acid matrix for the production of protiens.

Supplements are fine but whole foods can provide a more solid nutrional base for vitamins, minerals and various other nutrients.

This leads us to looking at combinations of foods.

1. Dairy and (whole) grains
2. (Whole) Grains and nuts/seeds
3. Nuts/seeds and legumes
4. Legumes and dairy
5. Legumes and grains
