nutrition

I became a vegetarian in high school, around the time I also began on the path towards being a professional athlete.

I've been a vegetarian for 14 years, just about my entire racing career. The past 3 years I've been completely vegan, which means I don't use any animal products whatsoever.

In my first article on the vegetarian athlete, I tried to outline the primary dietary concerns of protein and iron intake, focusing first on protein.

In parts 1 and 2 of this 3-part series on the vegetarian athlete, I focused generally on overall nutrition, and specifically on the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat), and micronutrients

In my last article, I stated the importance of giving your body a period of recovery from the process of recovery itself.
