I don't know, but I would doubt that?Tommeh said:i heard that russian legion only eat salad an fruit to keep them selfs lighter an have more energy. because if you eat something like meat your stomach uses alot of energy digesting it.
If they wanted more energy they would eat high energy foods like carbs which don't take much digesting at all...
Salad & fruit is good, but it isn't muscle building & vegetarians sometimes have trouble getting enough protein, and I can't generalize but the few I know often complain of tiredness and lack of energy. is that common?
Just a pointer, amino acids (the base units of proteins) become available about 4 or 5 hours after you've eaten it, so if you eat then exercise 4 or 5 hours later supposedly you'll get the best results.
I remember watching a body building docu where the guy ate tuna shakes for breakfast...
