Survive the like of protein in their diet? This is a honest question and not intended to insult or irritate anyone.

My wife did a study in her Nutrition class, as a vegan, and according to her studies guidelines, was taking in too much protein. Pretty much everything has protein, and it's absorbed easier through plant based foods than meat.

Protein is only a small amount to a persons diet, but some main places to get protein:Tofu, soya protein meals, beans, lentils, other legumes, peanut butter, grains, pasta, bread, nuts, seeds.I'm vegan and according to recent measurements of what I am eating I exceed the amount of protein an adult male who isn't trying to bulk up should do, apparently.

I don't mind answering this 10 times a day......it's my duty [even in real life...I help people w/ their relationship, fitness and dietary issues]. In my diet, protein is rich. Beans, peas, wheat, breads, potatoes, rice, powder [brown rice/pea/artichoke protein powder since I work out often], fruits [like banana and avocado], nuts and seeds. Complete amino acid profile, plenty of protein for me.

there is plenty of protein in plant foods. spinach is half protein. black beans are 1/3 protein. peanuts, almonds, cashews are great sources.

I eat a lot of nuts and tofu, I eat nuts for snacks and add some to my cooking and have tofu in my meals as well sometimes.

Protein is one of the easiest things to get. Beans, oats, and nuts are loaded with protein, and there's protein in most veggies.

Many don't, and become atrophied. Meat contains all the essential amino acids in the proper balance, unlike plant-based protein. Meat is also much higher in protein. Soy is the only plant that comes close, but it has many negative health effects, such as increasing estrogen levels, which has been proven to cause feminization of men and interfere with women's menstrual cycles. So they have to buy all kinds of expensive and obscure grains to get enough protein. It's crazy, and it makes no sense, but that's what they have to do if they expect to have any muscle mass.That's why all the really muscular and healthy people eat meat.

The trick is to combine incomplete proteins to make a complete protein. This usually means eating a grain with a legume (red beans and rice or bean enchilladas) or adding a small amount of protein to a pasta dish (macaroni and cheese) Some vegetarians will eat milk or cheese or eggs or fish. This broadens their protein sources. An old but still excellent book that explains vegetarian eating is Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe. The 20th anniversary edition was published in 1991. You may be able to get it at your public library. While you are there, browse other books nearby in 641.563 or 613.262.

They eat things like quorn, tofu, lentils, nuts, beans, these products all have loads of protein in them.

I think you mean the lack of protein? Protein is not an issue. Pretty much all foods have protein and people don't need as much as they think they do. I get my protein from whole wheat bread and whole wheat pasta, beans & lentils, nuts, peas as well as everything else I eat.

~sigh~All foods other than flour and water contain protein-which is more readily-absorbed into the body when the source is plant-based.You weren't insulting, but the abounding ignorance about nutrition is tiring to many of us vegans.
