By a landslide, this is the the # 1 most popular question that each and every Vegetarian, Vegan and Raw food eater hears each and every day…The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends half the daily allowance of Protein intake than the USDA at 0.20 grams per 1 pound of body weight. This amount can easily be obtained from a plant based diet consisting of : Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds, Nuts and Greens.

[...] video is from Jeff Golfman, and answers a common question [...]
Thanks i am glad that you like the video.
Hi,
Thanks for the video, i enjoyed it. I’ve been a vegan for almost 6 years now, and i’m 33. One thing that caught my attention about your video is that you only address the quantity question but i feel not the quality part. It’s always been my understanding, and please correct me if i’m wrong, that in addition to protein quantities one should also address the fact that only a few plants do contain all essential aminoacids, and because of this it’s necessary to consume a combination of plants in order to obtain all necessary amino/protein content. I don’t know if you feel that’s out of this video’s scope, but it concerns me that someone would walk away with the impression that all that’s important regarding proteins is how many grams to consume.
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Alejandro
Yes great point indeed ! I agree that you need to eat a variety of foods to get full nutrition including all 22 amino acids. I have also learned from a few credible Doctors that full spectrum nutrition can be achieved on a weekly or monthly basis and not necessarily on a meal by meal basis ( ex. a mono meal). So as long as you get all nutrients over time you are good. You are correct in pointing out that with this video I was very focussed on quantity only as I really wanted to make the simple point that it is super easy to get enough protein as a vegan. So glad that you have added this to the discussion. I think this topic should be addressed in more detail in a future video…
Another informative video. I like it. Thank you.
It is very helpful to use a measuring cup to show how much food is needed to get the recommended amount of protein. Most of us are visual learners.
Thanks !!! It simply shows people how easy it is to get enough Protein as a Vegan. So Glad that you like.
Great video and great blog. The video helps me to visualize it. The problem for me is I’m busy and getting a quick meal on the go is difficult for a vegetarian. I have started packing protein bars with me but would love to hear some ideas for quick meals. A site I’ve found that offers some good protein bars and shakes is http://vegetarianproteins.com. My favorite is the goodonyabar
yes quick meals are always the hardest. i find that i function best when i always have a bag with me with easy quick snacks like: fruit, veggies, seaweeds, seeds, & nuts. then i can snack whenever i want with zero prep time. for low prep meal try smoothies, juices and salads.
I do so like the ease with which you explain this topic. I get a little defensive when someone challenges me, but now I am armed with some clearer explanations. I also like your answer to Alejandro about eating a variety of foods. I am looking forward to looking around your site to see more of what you eat. I am off the almonds to lower my fat intake, so am having trouble integrating nuts and seeds. Mostly I use Chia seeds in my smoothies. I hope I can learn enough to live a healthy rest of my life. Thanks for the blog and the opportunity to learn from your experience.
