The Protein Myth
One of the common misconceptions about a vegan "diet" is that vegans struggle to consume adequate protein when eating only plants. This is simply not true.
The human requirement for protein is so low, at just 5-10% of total calories coming from protein, that anyone who consumes adequate total calories based on their own needs will, very likely, by default, consume adequate protein without even trying.
That's because all plants contain amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Because of the macronutrient makeup of foods being comprised of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, one may feel confident in knowing that as long as calorie needs are met, protein needs will also be met.
