Climbers and Diet - Any Vegetarians out there? 30-Apr-2004 At 11:28:01 PM Ben
Message
I was actually thinking more of if any vegetarian climbers out there have found they need to be careful with what they eat generally due to the strains climbing places on your body, rather than what people eat at the crag.

For example lots of vegetarian athletes seem to take some creatine suppliments as vegetarians generally seem to be a little low on this. On the flip side I've read an online article which pointed out that ceratine is perhaps not so useful for climbers as it tends to lead to excess weight.

I find my body tends to crave protein a lot as a resul I eat a lot of mexican food (pinto beans are a good source), tofu, nuts (almonds, peanuts etc) etc.

I do wonder if I'm providing my body with all the nutrients it needs to recover from climbing 3 days a week (gym mainly) and doing other exercise (a martial art) at least 2 other nights a week.
