Comment

Comment on The local supermarket takes protein bar protection. Anyway does anyone know how to open these cases ?

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.

This may be a vegan-specific problem.

It’s not a vegan problem. It’s a food selection problem.

I’m vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans

  It’s a vegan problem in that it can be a problem for vegans, not that it’s a problem for all vegans.

Beans and lentils are your friend.

  Lemmy needs to know the difference between protein and amino acids in diet. All plants are protein.

    They have protein but they’re mostly composed of complex carbs like starch, fiber, and cellulose. Their actual protein content varies but in general it’s much lower than legumes
    
    If you’re vegetarian or vegan and don’t eat legumes, then you’re probably not getting enough protein.

If I may ask, what is your target grams per day of protein?

  According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

    As someone who needs to lose weight, that calculator says my who minimum safe protein is 113 g/day. As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.
    
    I call bs on the claim that most of us get too much protein. Overweight people are less likely to and plant eaters are less likely to.
    
    The muscle building community recommendations are based on insufficient evidence and are likely too high. I do believe those following them likely to get excessive protein their body can’t use but I don’t see how that generalizes to “most people”

    It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I’m definitely not eating enough protein.
