    Is the term 'broscience' gender specific, if so what's the female equivalent? Hoscience?

    That's why I used the word automatically! as quinoa is a complete protein. However although I am mainly vegan myself
    I am watching my fitness very closely and my ability with increased strength training and my general health very closely.
    Im not afraid to eat other protein sources, definitely not meat.
    You seem to know your stuff, does nuts and legumes complete a protein?
    As a woman at menopausal age, Im more concerned with maintaining good health than becoming an fitness athlete.
    :smile:

    lol so what does meat have to do with not maintaining good health?

    quinoa has a 1:4 ratio and is not a decent source of protein.

    Ethics everyone is multifaceted, and no time or interest to others to fully explain 'where someone is coming from'.
    Also no longer like or want meat, genuinely.

    Well not liking and wanting meat is fine, there are plenty of things I dont like. I still believe that lacto-ovo is the way to go if you do not enjoy meat

    This lady has a point but only to an extent.

    Those who are very active or weight training probably will have to seek out more protein in their diet, I know if I don't then I ache and my body takes longer to recover.

    She also calls bs on amino acids now again, that is true for most people but for those that are active and especially weight training it is invaluable!
    Even those on a diet only weight loss program would benefit from amino acids as they help Retain muscle which will break down with a insufficient diet.

    on top of this essential amino acids are beneficial for those who have sustained heavy injury to muscle or fractures to bones.

    I dont see any citations of any research studies or any credentials of the person creating the article. There is no sufficient evidence of any statement she is creating and she is plagiarizing at this point and spreading horse ****

    YES! thank you.

    Agree with this!
    For every fitness rule/guideline, there is always someone who wants to counteract it with some BS about why it's wrong.

    I disagree wih some of the premises of the article. I don't think people eat protein for the health effects. I think people eat it because they like protein in the form of meat.

    I do agree that there is an overindulgence in MEAT eating in society. I frankly learned about 12 years ago that I was eating about 4 or 5 times the amount of meat I needed in a day. I did not overindulge because Ithought it was healthy; I overindulged because I was eating a normal die which I learned from my upbringing.

    I now do not eat as much meat or food in general as I used to. .

    I do try to eat a little more proteins on days which I exercise more than 45 minutes or if I exercise extremely vigorously for over 30 minutes.

    I agree with the above quote. The author of the article mentioned in the link has no scientific credentials. Her "food experience" credential is "Gourmet" magazine writer.
    I would not follow her advise for my health issues.

    Everybody is free to read and make their own decisions.

    Good luck in your journey

    Based off of what? Who said that we eat more meat than we need?
    WHAT STUDY IS THE BASIS OF THIS CLAIM?

    I dont even consume 4-5 servings a day, I would like to.
    It also boils down on is it processed meat or unprocessed meat?
