Vegan ingredients high in protein

2/17/2017

There is a bad myth behind being vegan.  The word on veganism that non vegans believe is that you cannot sustain a muscular body on a vegan diet.  It is just impossible because there is not enough protein in plant based foods.  You need to eat lots of meat and dairy to build strong lean muscles.  I have heard it all before.  You lose weight and get weak on a vegan diet.  Whether you are a meat eater or vegan you will be in bad shape if you don't eat clean natural nutritious foods.  You can class yourself as being vegan and live on potato chips and soda.  It will be no healthier than a meat eater living on hot dogs and hamburgers. 
Protein is protein whatever form it comes in and you need between 0.8-2 grams of protein per kilo in body weight in order to build a lean muscular body.  For example if you weigh 100kg or 225lbs you should be having between 80-200 grams of protein daily.  The more active you are , the more protein you require. 
Here is a list of clean vegan ingredients high in protein that you should incorporate into your diet to build bigger stronger muscles.
1-Spinach
2-Pumpkin seeds
3-quinoa
4-pulses, grains lentils etc
5-edemame beans
6- walnuts, almonds, cashews
7-greens asparagus, kale, rapine
8-Oatmeal
9-Peanut butter
10- fruits a variety of tropical colorful fruits
There are lots of other great protein sources for vegans.  This is just an example of ingredients you should incorporate daily into your diet.
