How do vegans get protein. We eat lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, whole grain and soy products (edamame, tofu, tempeh, imitation cheeses and meats). When you get a well-balanced meal consisting of these foods, you are guaranteed to get sufficient protein. If you had a soy burger on a whole wheat bun with avocado and tomato and a small side salad, you would get 22 grams of protein. The amount of protein varies from 18 to 60 grams a day. If you want an extra boost, include spirulina, a high-protein algae that contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, B-12 ( important for vegetarians), enzymes, and minerals. It also supports the immune system, fights cancer, and helps with hypoglycemia, anemia, ulcers, diabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Spirulina also contain all nine essential amino acids.
There are 20 amino acids. Our bodies produce eleven, and the other nine essential acids can be obtained through food. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Protein does build muscle. But even if you work out and want to build muscle, you don't need to consume animal protein. Some top athletes are vegetarians: Chris Campbell is an Olympic wrestling champion; Keith Holmes, a world-champion middleweight boxer; Bill Mannetti, a power-lifting champion; Bill Pearl, a four-time Mr. Universe; Andres Cahling, a champion body-builder and Olympic gold medalist in the ski jump; Art Still, a Hall of Famer and MVP defensive end for the NFL; Martina Navratilova, a tennis champion; and Dr. Ruth Heidrich, a six-time Ironwoman, age-group holder, USA track and field Master's Champion, and vegan.
Plants have all these amino acids too, in slightly different amounts. It is now known that eating a variety of foods from plant sources provides all the building blocks we need. The microorganisms and recycled cells in our intestinal tracts make complete proteins for us. All we have to do is eat healthy, balances diets.
