[quote=Anonymous]I think the real issue is whether the kids is committed to being a vegetarian and an elite athlete. If so, it can absolutely be done. But he will have to eat lots of plant-based protein, obviously, and these are not everyone's taste, will require lots of essentially forced consumption (especially during growth spurts), etc. If the kid is a picky eater (and I don't mean truly picky, lots of kids don't want huge quantities of beans, nut butters, tofu and cottage cheese -- my kids would literally never) or would prefer to just sub meat, then obviously that would be the easier approach.[/quote]
