"if you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating more than enough." This is not strictly true for every diet

"if you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating more than enough."
This is not strictly true for every diet. If you consume a plant based diet and don't eat meat substitutes, you can quite easily come in below the recommended protein level.
In my case, eating a calorie restricted vegan diet to lose weight, consuming sufficient proteins to meet the 0.8g/kg baseline while maintaining a caloric deficit requires daily planning. It's by no means impossible, but you do have to think about it.
Also seitan is your friend.
- ianai 8y agoI love seitan, but I’m not sure it’s necessarily healthy. A lot has to be removed from wheat gluten. Probably soy/tempeh are better for being Whole Foods
