Physicians must know the specific characteristics of foods in order to correctly recommend the appropriate diet for each type of effort, taking into account the special characteristics of each athlete. Therefore, it is essential that the medical professional knows how to provide nutritional advice to the vegetarian and vegan athlete in order to achieve maximum performance.

It has been shown that no single food is essential in the diet, since we can obtain the different nutrients from different food sources.
