How do vegans build muscle on a plant based diet? For those that take building muscle seriously like bodybuilding, it’s possible while avoiding animal products entirely. You can eat everything from pulses such as lentils and beans to soy-based foods and vegan meat products. To consume enough B12, ensure you’re eating foods such as fortified cereals, nutritional yeast, and mushrooms. Another deficiency to be aware of is vitamin D, which can cause muscle pain, as well as fatigue and depression. Nut butters like peanut butter and almond butter are good for calories too.
