Hi

Whether you are a vegan or a lacto vegetarian, as long as you have a varied diet you will always get enough proteinHow many grams of protein do i need to get on a vegan diet?
MOst Americans especially eat too much protein- it's in most foods- breadm cereal, wholegrains, peanut butter, bananas, soymilk, everything, even kale and cakes.

If you eat a few nuggests of brown rice, spinach, lentils and a few tiny drops of soymilk a day, that's more than enough.

Chickpeas- only a few have enough protein, also pinto beans, fava beans, coconut, avocado, tofu walnuts, peanuts etc

Even the more plain stuff- brown bread, oatmeal, cereals, vegannaise, regular foods with normla ingredients have protein. And more than enough.

You don't EVER need to massive amounts that some people seem to think are your only bridge across the wasteland of no dairy or meat- and substutite their stomachs and guts with powders, whey, soy protein and all those other scams.

Not needed, just good food.
You need about 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body mass. Most healthy women are about 20-30 percent body fat, so a good estimate is .75 grams of protein for every pound of body weight. Actually, the RDA for protein is too low, and while your body can survive on less protein, it cannot thrive on it. You will lose muscle if you do not eat enough protein. In my opinion, that is why a lot of vegans lose weight when they first change their diets. To get enough, you can eat lentils, chickpeas, beans, and tempeh. A lot of foods have protein in them, but if you are still not getting enough, you should take a pea protein or rice protein supplement from a health food store.How many grams of protein do i need to get on a vegan diet?
To estimate you MINIMUM daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. So a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day and a 200-pound person should get 74 grams.
You need 40ish grams a day. Do not go over 80.



If you eat fake meats and chili these are high in protein, if you eat just fruit and salad, get a vegan protein powder like Hemp or rice.



Too much protein is very bad for you.
