The Biggest Myths Surrounding Protein and Vegans
While vegan diets exclude animal products—common sources of protein—protein deficiency isn't inevitable. Building muscle requires adequate protein, crucial not only for muscle growth but also hormone regulation and a higher thermic effect (meaning more calories burned during digestion) compared to carbohydrates and fats. Protein is the preferred macronutrient if you are looking to build muscle. The amount of protein a person needs depends on a few things:
Your age
Your gender
Your weight
Your goals
Typically, a person should be having the equivalent in grams to what they weigh in pounds.
For example, a man who weighs 150lbs should be aiming to eat at least 150 grams of protein a day. This number can be higher or lower depending on the above factors but typically, a person should be eating .5-2g of protein in their body weight when converted to pounds.
So does being a vegan mean you won’t be able to see results in the gym?
No! Not at all actually.
Even if you are a vegan you can still get your protein from other plant-based sources. One of the biggest myths is that vegans can’t build muscle if they go to the gym or do CrossFit.
Plant-based foods that are high in protein consist of:
* Quinoa
* Buckwheat
* Tofu
* Rice and Beans
* Sprouted grain bread
* Seitan
* Broccoli
* Tempeh
* Spinach
* Kale
* Hemp
* Lentils
Regardless of what restrictions you have, the type of preferred diet you follow or your fitness goals, you must get enough protein to live a healthy lifestyle! I hope with these tips you can ensure enough protein in your diet to meet your goals.
