    Ang. Protein has got to be one of the most overrated nutrients there is. Plant foods have all 20 amino acids our body needs. And our body is so efficent at storing protein and breaking that down into amino acids that we have an extra 20-50g of it stored in our body at any given time.

    Nutritionfacts.org. please visit this website. Its a great resource led by Dr Michael Gregor.

    Does anyone know the medical term for protein deficency? It's called kwashiorkor.
    Do you hear of anyone diagnosed with this disease? No? That's because you need to 1. Starve yourself or 2. Eat nothing but jello (which isn't vegan anyways) to be protein deficent.

    I'm definitely high carb, but not really low-fat. (Is high-carb, moderate-fat a thing? :D ) Please feel free to add, if that's your cup of tea. Diary is open.

    That's kind of what I do (just from personal preferences and it's how I feel best). I do about 55-60% carbohydrates, 25-30% fat.
