When I tell people that I'm vegan they're often suprised and ask me:
"Really? How can you have muscles on a vegan diet?"

Most people still believe that it's not possible to build muscles on a vegan diet and I have to tell them that yes, you can build the same amount of muscle on a plant based diet as on a diet that contains animal products. It always depends on how much protein you intake.

My Top 3 protein sources are:
1.) Beans
2.) Lentils
3.) Tofu

In addition I supplement with a Pea Protein Powder.

As long as you get enough protein you can build muscle on every diet.

Guy you nailed it!
These three types of beans you listed are my favourites as well inclusive of brown beans and black-eyed beans. I even have recipes on them!

Anyways, do take care of yourself and all the best!
