| One of the most
important things you can eat when trying to build yourself up is protein. Being
a vegetarian is going to make it a little harder to get the protein you need to
build your muscle but it definitely can be done. Most of the higher-quality protein
sources are animal-based (e.g. chicken, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, etc.) but there
are certainly good sources of vegetable protein. These include soy, beans, etc.
If you're able to eat eggs, I would recommend you do that. Eggs are a very good
source of high-quality protein.
In addition to protein, you're going
to need to eat more calories in general. Basically that means eating more food.
Exercise will give your body the push it needs to build muscle but it needs more
food to be able to build that muscle. Eat frequently throughout the day. As
far as exercises go, click
