On today's episode, let's answer these important questions:
- If someone you were talking to was concerned about their protein intake if they moved to a plant-based diet (because they heard that plant-based protein isn't as "good" as an animal-based diet), what would you say to them?
- If the person asked about how much protein they should be eating in a day, what would you say to them?
- What are some examples of plant-based meals that would meet your optimal protein requirements?
Now that I've been on a plant-based diet for almost a decade, I'm tempted to cringe at those who question the adequacy of my protein intake. But I don't, because I remember having those same concerns at the beginning of my transition. As a multi-sport athlete, I also grew up in the protein-meat-gym culture and those misconceptions about protein are very difficult to reverse. I transitioned for health reasons, but I was still concerned that my athletic performance would be negatively impacted by my new plant-based diet. That's why I paid special attention to learning about what makes plant-protein different than animal protein and how to make sure I was getting enough. Turns out that meeting protein requirements is easier than most think.
