| Cam Newton's Vegan Diet Is Probably Hurting His Play This Year |
| 2019-09-28 |
| Anyone vaguely familiar with exercise or athletics could've predicted this, especially myself. My best estimate for my own road bike rides (200 lb. male, 23 miles in 1.5 hours) is a calorie requirement of 1,600 - 1,700 calories, in addition to a normal RDA of 2,200 or so calories. Many complex proteins required for muscle growth and repair simply cannot be replaced or replicated with a vegan diet. [Charlotte Observer] - Cam Newton and Hannibal Buress walk into a vegan restaurant, and leave with a Ziploc bag of magic mushrooms and new perspectives. Wait, what? It’s true. Newton and his friend, Buress, a comedian, shot an episode of the quarterback’s vlog over lunch one afternoon this past offseason, live from the patio of Los Angeles vegan restaurant Gracias Madre. The episode ‐ appropriately titled ’Yo! This Vegan?’ ‐ features the pair trying flash-fried cauliflower in a cashew cheese sauce, with barbecue jackfruit carnitas tacos that easily could pass for pulled pork. Cauliflower - it's what's for dinner - said no man, ever. Go grab some steaks, Cam! |

| #2 ...Given the outfits Cam's been wearing lately, I'm thinking it's something far more nefarious than just eating a lot of celery sticks. Mike |

| #1 If eating meat wasn't advantageous, chimps wouldn't be crazy about it. |
