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

This is a pretty good article. Do some research on the subjuct and see
what works for you.

Yes it is possible and no you don't have to combine your proteins. Your body will do that for you. Increasing muscle mass, besides having the right strength routine, will involve eating a ton more food period. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian sources of protein as well as bodybuilders and other athletes who are vegan or vegetarian. Stores like The Vitamin Shoppe and health food stores are pretty good about keeping protein supplements in stock that have no whey or casein. Once you start looking, you will find that there are more options than you can possibly imagine.

If increase in muscle mass is desired, a hypertrophy oriented stregnth training routine needs to be supported by adequate nutrition.
It is a fallacy to believe that a vegetarian diet is inherently deficient in protein sources. There are plenty of protein options, particularly when the person on a vegetarian diet includes dairy and egg products in their chosen meal plan.
A vegan diet (no animal products at all) requires greater case and planning but there are also plenty of options.

Increasing muscle mass is very possible through a vegetarian diet. However, it is far more difficult to obtain muscle mass as opposed to eating meats. The complexity lies within creating complete proteins which entails eating a variety of different incomplete proteins to create allow for obtain all essential amino acids.
Ultimately for performance - there have been studies that show it is far difficult to keep up with a meat eater.

yes its possible you just have to eat your proteins in combination to make complete proteins.

Sure you can but its going to be a bit more work, to be certain your getting proper intakes complete of proteins.

Yes, but they would most likely be required to take supplements to reach their caloric intake requirements.
Because they get protein from some beans or greens doesnt mean they'll be able to eat enough of them to get a positive amount of calories in vs calories out.

Making any change in your life, especially related to diet plan, is a process. Like you asked about a vegetarian diet, it will allow you to lead a healthy life and surely help you in increasing muscle mass too. The hectic lifestyle that we all lead today does not do much good and therefore we have to focus on what we eat. Eating green vegetable and fresh fruits can do much good not only to increase your muscle mass but it would also help you maintain your body weight.
I often visit Sheffa Foods for a list of some amazing health foods and products that I think are great if you want to lead a life that is healthy and disease-free.

Yes it is. Also a vegan diet can help with increasing lean mass and even compete at a high level in sports. This will need the help of a registered dietitian because it can be tricky and the person needs to be educated enough in vegan diet if it's going to be effective.

Definitely vegetarian diet can work to increase the muscle mass. People adopt this diet for different reasons including heart health, ethical concerns and religious views. Some people adopt it to lose weight, but gaining weight with vegetarian diet can be challenging. You need to add certain foods that can increase body mass or muscle without any side effects. You can prepare healthy vegetarian diet chart based on the tutorial of health experts like Boris Wolfman - http://boriswolfman.co.il/90A8959794-9891%D7... and add some important things like dairy products, starches, bananas, tropical fruits, soy products, nuts, seeds, protein shakes and many more in your daily routine.

There are a lot of really big and strong vegetarians out there. It will take a little more planning and getting used to but it's doable. Combine foods to make complete proteins.

Good answers. It's certainly possible. With a vigorous resistance training regimen (no more than 12-15RM) combined with eating a diet that provides complete proteins (grains + legumes, e.g., a peanut butter sandwich) it is possible to stimulate skeletal muscle hypertrophy. There are a number of vegetarian (consider including dairy and eggs) athletes who'll attest to this fact.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Today there are more than enough vegan sources of protein that will result in muscle mass gains when applied properly in a sound resistance training program. Timing of meals and resistance training for strength/hypertropy are the most important things to consider. Of course, genetics is also a factor. But since you can't change that, you need to apply the science behind the exercise.
Oh, and I have been eating a vegan diet for over 30 years. (Just never really liked milk and meat) I work with college and high school athletes who have trouble matching my energy and strength. And I am not a large person. It is not in my genetics. If you want more advice, contact me through my profile or website. www.hawaiifitnessacademy.com .
