Want to compete in Trained Figure - need diet advice!

Count me in for the bodybionic meet! Hollie and I have been emailing about meeting up there to train and have a coffee after. The more the merrier!

hi jen. I hope you didnt think you HAD to eat meat to compete? I used to compete and won the UK fitness title in 2005 as a vegetarian Jodie march is also vegetarian and ate a contest diet similar to mine!
 
well done  on your progress anyway and good luck!

Hi, and thanks for the welcome
 
I've been umm-ing and arrr-ing about eating meat for a while so deciding to go for it wasn't souly based on competing. I was struggling to get my protein levels up high enough though. At the same time, i've only been veggie for a year and a half, so changing back wasn't as big a change as most.
But it's great to know that you can still compete to a high standard as a veggie. out of interest, what sources did you rely on for your protein levels?

Lovely quote for a tattoo - great choice Nic!  Where have you got it?

Thanks! I've got the quote, along with the date of my first Channel swim, on my hip, just under where the line of my swimming cossie would be if I ever went swimming any more haha!
 
I don't think you get marked down for tattoos, certainly I've never seen anything in the rules about them and plenty of competitors have lots or very large ones. The tan does a pretty good job of covering them up anyway!
