I'm vegan and I've been a vegan for eight years and you're probably wondering how is he still alive since he doesn't eat any meat products and he's probably famished from not having enough protein. Well, the funny thing is I've never thought about protein for 35 years, is eating meat. Never thought about it, vegetarian for eight years, never thought about it. Just like the gorillas, elephants, buffalo or hippos. Never thought about where I got my protein. So where do vegans get their protein and how much protein do you need? You need only point three, six grams per pound. If you weigh 150 pounds, you need 54 grams of protein.
Now for men, that's an average of 56 grams. And for women, that's an average of 46 grams. So some food you can get is some almonds contain six grams of protein per ounce. And you can also eat pistachios, cashews, and oats, you can have oats, which for a half a cup of raw oats is 13 grams of protein. You can eat broccoli, lentils, soybeans, kidney beans, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, which are also good for Omega three, sunflower, Chia seeds, Brussels sprouts, and peanuts. The thing is all food has protein in it, so it's not a concern where you get your protein or how much you just need to eat. The only people that die of protein deficiency are people that starve to death. Let's create a kinder world and stop worrying about where we get our protein and stop eating animals which include meats, dairy, eggs, and fish.
