Vegan/Vegetarian Diet While Training

[David]

I'm sorry if this has been covered in another post, and for my ignorance on this subject, but I was wondering if anyone had experience on the ease of eating vegetarian/vegan while training in Thailand? Ie how easy is it to find vegan options? Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your response, irtizak. I'm not familiar with the typical Nak Muay's diet, but I'm guessing from your response that when you say "high protein diet", you mean one that's high in animal products. As someone who abstains from eating animal products for ethical reasons, that's not an option I would consider. What I'm asking about is the availability of vegetarian and ideally vegan options while training in Thailand. 

I think, in a way, what I'm hearing is that's not a concern for most fighters?

I found it very easy to eat veggie in Thailand. They just cooked the same dishes without meat as most stuff is cooked fresh. I imagine vegan will be a little harder I know they use a lot of fish sauce, which although not veggie I’m pretty sure the still used in my food. But again I’m sure people will be happy to accommodate and remove any animal products for you.
