This Olympic Gold Medal Winner Is Training For LA 2028 On A Vegan Diet

Olympic gold medal winner Imogen Grant is training for the LA 2028 Olympics on a vegan diet. Grant hopes to compete in open-weight rowing, a category that requires her to gain weight and increase her power during training. To do so, she has increased her caloric intake to up to 4,000 calories per day and relies on tofu, beans, and shakes for protein.

Grant, who won gold in the lightweight double sculls category at Paris 2024, is actively promoting sustainability and advocates for reducing meat and dairy consumption. She believes that adopting a plant-based diet can have a significant impact on reducing personal emissions. Grant participated in Veganuary's 2025 campaign and encourages others to make the switch to veganism for health and environmental reasons.
