Better For It with Katie Williams

Think vegans can't build muscle? Crossfit athlete James Newbury proves you can

Listen Later

James Newbury has been crowned the 5th Fittest Man on Earth....and he's vegan. 

Forget everything you think you know about building muscle and getting enough protein while eating a vegan diet.

Katie sits down with James to chat about:

  • How many calories he burns in a typical day of training
  • A day on a plate - breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks
  • How much protein he eats per day and where he gets it from 
  • How eating a vegan diet supports his recovery
  • What we should know before going vegan
  • And what he eats when he's craving a steak

    • Follow James on Instagram @jamesnewbury
