10 Vegan Snacks to Help You Bulk Up Like Jared Leto

As of late, Jared Leto has been showing some massive gains at the gym for his new role as The Joker in the upcoming 2016 film Suicide Squad. Leto has remained dedicated to his longtime vegan lifestyle while bulking up for the role.

In a recent interview with Billboard magazine, Leto revealed the secret to his vegan muscle mass, saying, “I’m trying to gain a lot of weight. It means I have to eat every couple of hours—and I’m terrible at eating a lot.” Later in the interview, he snacked on some vegan tacos, perhaps spilling the secret to his awesome new body: healthy, hearty vegan snacks.
