How to get protein
Replies

I eat a vegan diet and never, ever worry about protein. Americans have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to protein. Just eat food, get your greens and beans in, and you will never have a problem.
When was the last time you ran into someone with kwashiorkor?
I mean, I have nutritional and fitness goals that go beyond simply avoiding kwashiorkor.2 -
I'm confused. I thought you meant protein wasn't important, but now you're saying you don't have to worry about protein because you get plenty in your diet.
I hope you are no longer confused.

Can you define what you think is "enough" protein? Because I can think of lots of types of meals made exclusively from whole unprocessed plant foods that would result in an overall low protein intake. So for an example, if my goal is to eat 1,460 calories a day, what would be the least amount of protein you think I would need to feel my best?2 -

I respectfully disagree, but I don't think we're going to change each other's minds, so I'm happy to leave it at that :drinker:2 -

I've had very low albumin before. It's not rare1
