==Vegetarian GOMAD==
My standard GOMAD mixture contains a lot of animal protein sources. It is possible to substitute alternatives, but you should use caution.
* '''Whey and Casein [[Protein ]] Powder'''. Soy protein can be used instead of Whey and Casein powder, though it is not as effective (Soy powder has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Value biological availability] of 74, compared with 77 for casein and 94 for whey). There are also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_controversy health concerns] with soy protein, primarily due to the presence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens phytoestrogens] which are similar to female sex hormones.
* '''Milk'''. Using Soy milk instead of skim milk will provide more fat, including some [[Omega 3]]. The concerns noted above on soy protein also apply to soy milk. Other non-animal 'milk' products, such as almond milk could be used. Note that most non-animal 'milk' products have added sugar.
* '''Eggs'''. I found no real alternative to eggs that provides the combination of proteins, fats and vitamins.
