    I'm honestly not following this protein thing. I'm a vegetarian. Some of my meals are vegan, but I have to be honest, if all of them were vegan, my protein consumption would take a big hit for the same amount of calories.

    Now it's possible that if I were able to consume some of the vegan sources of protein that I can't due to intolerance issues (no gluten or soy), this might be different.

    I learnt that from “science vs” on their podcast on vegans. They were looking at statistics in different regions and vegans vs non vegans and found that they ate more protein and said it was probably because most vegans are health conscious and plan and know a lot about what they’re eating and they’re nutritional needs!

    Did they do more than one episode? Because I found a transcript of an episode of that show focused on veganism and there isn't anything in there about studies showing that vegans eat more protein than non-vegans.

    Thanks for finding that. I'm going to bookmark it for the dairy/calcium part as I was having problems finding references for that when it came up on another thread.

    @Veganvibesss on page 15 it says that the studied group of vegans were healthier, not that they ate more protein. Was there another vegan episode?

    I only did a quick skim of the transcript (plan to listen to the episode later), but it seems pretty well-sourced.

    I swore it was that podcast I heard it on, I was listening to a few on veganism and remember a guy interviewing a girl doctor
