Vegan bodybuilding meal plan for one day

Most people might think it is impossible to hit your protein goals as a bodybuilder if you rid of all animal products. They just can't comprehend how one is able to get buff without eating dairy, eggs or meat.

To be honest, they aren't too far from the truth, but they are close enough to a myth. It's true that vegan people, even those who aren't planning to put on some muscle, are highly exposed to nutrient deficiencies (especially zinc, vitamin B12, iron and sometimes protein).

However, that doesn't mean you have to go back to your dairy cheese and beef steak to get shredded. Here is a one-day 100% vegan bodybuilding meal plan!
