Vegan is the strictest form of vegetarianism, their diet not only excludes all meat products but dairy products are also restricted, so basically no animal products are consumed. Due to the more limited food choices vegetarians have, it means they are required to get more creative with food to ensure their diets include enough nutrients and calories to fuel muscle growth and stay healthy.

Because most vegetarians eat very little or no animal products, they typically consume less saturated fat and cholesterol than meat-eaters, according to the American Heart Association.
