I watched the Stanford twin study that was made into a Netflix documentary and it was really interesting.
It seemed like the sheer volume of food that vegans had to eat in order to avoid losing healthy muscle was very high. Participants really struggled with it.

- GeoAtreides 2y ago> It seemed like the sheer volume of food 30 ml of olive oil is about 300 calories. 50 grams of peanut butter is 250 calories. Edamame / tofu (soy) has about 18 g of proteins per 100g. Beans have about 17 g per 100g. Peanut butter has 25 g of proteins. Protein daily needs is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. I dunno boss, doesn't seem like a very high volume of food.
