Fish fam. Need some advice. My height is 5'11 and I weigh 160 lbs. Since I am a vegetarian I find it difficult to put on weight through a regular diet. Constant Travel doesn't help either. Any vegetarians out there who have overcome a similar problem??

You need to define which is a greater priority: your vegetarianism or bulking up... If you don't mind dairy, you could start by incorporating some additional protein (whey/casein) in your diet.

I don't mind dairy/eggs. Anything but meat

I seem to be having no trouble at all 😩 what are you eating OP?

Usual vegetarian stuff. I believe I have very high metabolism.

Meat ? How about Fish ? Salmon is a great source of Protein
