How Much Is Enough Protein?
Many people, including nutritionist, still think that you cannot get enough protein without eating meat, fish, or chicken. But is this really true? I don’t eat meat, I am in decent shape, my body is lean but not small. I have good musculature and strong bones. I walk/run 5 days a week, do yoga and lift weights at times. I am always full of energy, don’t need too much sleep, unless it’s winter, then I hibernate. I am a over 80% raw and mostly Vegan. Am I truly at a deficit if I am not eating animal flesh? The question for me really is how much do “the experts” say we need, as apposed to how much we really need? I don’t have the answer, but if “the experts” are right, then I had better start eating MORE Spinach!
