Where as you are vegetarian here is something you should know. The protein you get from non animal sources like legumes etc. are what 's known as incomplete protein they are lacking in essential amino acids, these are the amino acids the body cannot produce and are essential for protein to be broken down for muscle building. If you are using whey protein you should make sure they are enriched with bcaa's(base chain amino acids) this will provide those that vegetable proteins are missing
