Simon asks Pro Cycling Nutritionist Nigel to ask some of your most common questions about veganism and sports nutrition:

Are available protein sources limiting?
Is a plant based diet suitable for getting enough calories to support training?
What alternatives are there available?
What happens when we burn protein?
