PROTEIN
FAQ on protein: Do vegans get enough?
Answer: don't worry - be happy! We need only 10 - 12% of our calories in protein. In our Standard American Diet we get 30 to 40 percent of our calories in protein which we are led to believe is the reason we are an unhealthy, obese and short-lived people. Most of that protein is ANIMAL, meat,
poultry, milk, eggs, fish and shellfish. There is something called vegetable protein that is subtly different from animal, in their different percentages of certain amino acids. For size, strength and longevity we give you the elephant, a convinced herbivore. You will find that certain vegetables, green stuff, have more protein per calorie than beef.
How much protein should you have? Toxicologists say, it's the dose, stupid! Too little water will kill you. Too much water will kill you with hyponatremia. There is a tolerable range of water. For protein we don't know what that range is, of animal, vegetable or a mixture. What I know is that ZERO animal protein has been superb for me for many years.
In sports, protein is for building muscle. It's the legitimate alternative to steroids. Enormous amounts of whey, soy and vegan protein are sold at $30 - $35 a pound, where a serving is say 20 grams. If we think we need extra protein and take it, our bodies may decide they don't need it all and excrete the extra. At marathons, pre-race dinners favor carbo loading. Vegans are ALWAYS carbo loaded. Common sense tells us all to sharply limit fat (oil is 100% fat), sugar and salt - so no Krispy Kremes! - if you want to get the best results from a vegan diet.
Protein "sufficiency" is absolutely not an issue save in certain professional sports where heavy weight is important for performance, and therefore income. And that extra protein would be animal protein. Stop it when age limits your high performance! Otherwise it may limit your life!
