Tom Brady said he follows the 80/20 rule, meaning 80% of his plate is plant based and 20% is meat. This is one of Brady's lifestyle habits that have allowed him to play in the NFL at the age of 44. Nutritionists say that following the 80/20 rule might be even healthier than being fully vegan.

“Foods like oats with berries, hemp seeds and nuts, or a soy-based yogurt with berries and nuts can offer the combo needed [after a workout].” Mixing it up also helps to ensure you are getting a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as part of your post workout routine.

Research suggests it doesn't matter whether you drink a protein shake before or after your workout. Total daily protein intake matters most. Protein is necessary for muscle repair and growth. For this reason, many people consume protein supplements in the form of shakes along with their workouts.

Soy products such as tofu, tempeh, edamame, and soy yoghurt help to promote muscle growth and recovery, thanks to their high-quality protein quantity per serving. Seeds (i.e., flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds & sunflower seeds) help provide your body with a good source of protein.
