you're pretty much stuck with beans, nuts and seeds really....
I've used powders based on pea, rice and hemp protein as well as blends like Vega so it doesn't have to be soy based. Although as mentioned many times above - a balanced, varied diet will provide enough. I've supplemented during really heavy training blocks but more for the placebo/psychological effect.
What he said
Lots of chick peas and lentils for me usually in soups, curries and Falafel
Not that worried about soya personally so I eat a lot of Tofu
[i]not as wholesome proteiny goodness for malnourished "athletes" [/i]

What else are STW's athletes going to spend their hard earned on, once the MTB has been blinged to within an inch of being blown away like a feather on the wind, in the slightest breeze.
Lov'n the thread.
Carry on!

I live on them as it is now, and have done for 30 years. My diet is probably 98 % vegan but the last 20 years of constant travelling for work have meant I sometimes have dairy products. I just fancied a little more protein without having to eat more generally.The wife says I need to put on weight but I only want useful muscle, don't want to be dragging lard up hill 🙂 I'll have a look at pea protein.

I know I'm getting down to race weight when my mother-in-law starts muttering about how unhealthy I look 🙂
