Cam Newton's Vegan Diet: Should he stay if he remains a vegan?

[beastson]

He can stay vegan, AFTER he hang up his cleats. The first time he get tripped up as a vegan, broke foot.  Going from 265 to 230 isn't good especially with this offensive line. At that size it's going to derail any sort of comeback with this offensive line and the hits he's going to take

Personally as a gym buff I know if I don’t eat enough chicken or tuna I feel sluggish.. 

Lol

That’s a mental thing

as long as he's getting his macros it literally does not matter at all from a nutrition standpoint

i dont really think a lower body fat percentage is going to hinder his play that much.

Yeah, I should’ve added as long as you’re hitting your protein goal it doesn’t matter where that protein is coming from which was what I meant. 

But yeah if he’s feeling sluggish then that’s a calorie issue not a chicken and tuna issue

No that’s a protein deficiency.

It's hard to equal the same amount of protein you were getting before though. Personally, I was starving all the time and said fug it while standing in kroger and eye fuging a roasted chicken. I ate the whole thing in my car like a cave man about 5 minutes later.

Cam can hire a cook and he’d have no problem hitting his macros I assume. I only have one meat meal a day and have no problem hitting 210g of protein. Roughly 35g of protein come from a lean meat source for me a day, that ain’t much.

Going vegan and hitting macros would just consume a lot of time cooking I think (I’ve never tried it but have looked into it).

And to get the same amount of protein and more importantly amino acids from a natural source such as quinoa you’d have to eat 13-14(1,300-1,400 grams) servings which would be 1,560 calories and 270ish grams of carbs to equal one chicken breast of protein and animo acids.

well AA can be fixed with an OTC supplement

and there are a lot more protein dense foods than quinoa. quinoa is how you make your brain think you're eating rice if you want to go gluten free.

I am gonna go out on a limb here... I bet Cam has a nutritionist advising him and that guy knows more about it than we do. 

 

Vegans make a religion out of their diet so this nutritionist has more likely made Cam a convert to his/her religion more so than a simple change of diet.

If Cam insists on staying on this diet/religion then trade him for a bologna sandwich!

I couldn’t disagree more.
