Description

On today's episode, let's answer these important questions:

1. 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?
2. If the person asked about how much protein they should be eating in a day, what would you say to them?
3. 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.
