If you eat a balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables whole grains, beans and peas, soy, nuts and seeds, you will get enough protein.

💪 One of the most common nutrition myths is that we need far more protein than we actually do.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is just 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which is equivalent to about 0.36 grams per pound, and whole plant foods can make meeting those needs surprisingly simple. Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, whole grains, and even leafy greens all contribute protein along with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and thousands of protective phytonutrients.

Research published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics concluded that well-planned vegetarian and vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and appropriate for all stages of life.

Plants don’t just provide protein, they provide a complete package for long-term health. 🌱
