Here I posted Prof. Susan M. Kleiner;s article ( SSE#58, Volume 8 (1995), Number 5 ) we can find more points about the subjects
Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., R.D. High-Performance Nutrition Mercer Island, Washington KEY POINTS
1. In the typical Western diet, meats such as beef, lamb, pork, veal, poultry, and fish are the predominant sources of protein, B vitamins, iron, and zinc.
2. Iron and zinc are the two nutrients most often deficient in vegetarian or modified-vegetarian diets. Also, iron and zinc are the most cited nutrients that may be deficient in the diet of athletes.
3. Athletes who choose to exclude meat from their diets must carefully plan diets to enhance nutrient availability, particularly for iron and zinc
Vegetarian diets do not compromise athletic performance and may even help aerobic capacity, according to a study comparing elite vegetarian and omnivore athletes.
