Do vegan athletes lose muscles?

Its a misconception that if athletes go vegan or follow a vegetarian diet they will lose on muscles. I have worked with wrestler Sushil Kumar for his 2 Olympic Medals and he is pure vegetarian but still a very powerful athlete.

Athletes lose muscles because:

Under Feeding

Over Training

Getting essential required nutrients on a vegan diet require an expert planning. If you have that covered there is nothing you should as an athlete be worry about.
