Getting enough protein is not a plant-based problem.
It's a knowledge problem. 💪🌱
Did you know….
Hemp seeds: 10g of complete protein per 3 tablespoons.
Tempeh: 31g per cup.
Lentils: 18g per cup cooked.
Edamame: 17g per cup.
Spirulina: 8g per two tablespoons.
Black beans, chickpeas, quinoa — are all complete or near-complete protein sources that most people already have in their kitchen. 🏠
And the performance data backs it up. 📊
A 2021 study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise compared muscle protein synthesis rates between whey protein and mycoprotein — a fungal plant-based protein — and found no significant difference in muscle building response.
A separate 2020 study in the Journal of Nutrition tracked 3,000 participants over several years and found that plant protein sources were equally effective at maintaining muscle mass as animal sources when total intake was matched. ⚖️
The "where do you get your protein" question only exists because people were taught meat is the default and everything else is a workaround.
Flip the frame: you're eating the original source. 🌾
Animals get their protein by eating plants. You're cutting out the middleman. 😎🐄
