I’ve spent the last 11 years of my life as a vegetarian—trying every different level, from vegan to ovo-vegetarian, to pescatarian. At each level, I’ve had to think about where I’m getting my protein and even though I love vegetables, I cannot hit the protein numbers I need to recover from my workouts and function at my best by eating only vegetables (for reference, 1 cup of veggies usually has 2 to 5 grams of protein)....

Easter falls on the first Sunday after or on the first full moon following the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere....
