Yes, the additional carbs required by a vegetarian diet that seeks sufficient protein are probably not a problem for an endurance athlete. Whole food vegetarian is probably even an optimal choice for an endurance athlete.
Is endurance athletics a good recommendation for everyone? Sorry, you're talking to a hiker who worries about the cardiovascular risk of prolonged higher intensity hobbies.
- mping 3y agoAt this point, we all should point to personalized diets. I'm vegetarian for many years now, yet I started to have iron deficiency. B12 is perfectly fine. My wife is also vegetarian, her B12 and iron are fine. You should keep an eye on your b12/iron/protein/whatever levels, but each individual requires a different approach.
