Vegan protein refers to protein rich food that is suitable for vegans. It is
important to understand the differences between vegans and vegetarians.
Vegetarians value the life of an animal so they do not eat meat where it has
been harmed or killed. Vegans prefer not to eat any food produced by an animal,
so reject things such as milk and cheese. Contrary to popular belief there are
sources of protein other than meat, so a vegan diet is not necessarily
unhealthy. The recommended daily amount for men is around 54 grams, and for
women it is 47. Most people in the United States are easily able to consume this
amount, including those who restrict themselves to food that does not come from
animal sources.
A more pressing concern for vegans is the intake of vital
amino acids. There are twenty which are essential for optimal health, but only
eleven can be produced internally. The rest need to come from external sources,
most of which are animals. However, with a diet that includes a variety of foods
you can make sure that you consume enough amino acids.
Nuts are a good source
of protein, as are vegetables such as spinach. Soy milk, potatoes, as well as
brussel sprouts also provide non-animal protein and they are all easy to use in
a healthy, delicious diet. Rice and pasta are ideal staples for a diet as they
are versatile and can be used in a range of dishes. While they do not provide as
much protein as other options mentioned, they still give you a good
supply.
Whether it is by personal choice or medical reasons, people have
different dietary needs. Protein is a valuable nutrient for the body and while
it is most commonly found in meat, there are other sources. This means that by
preparing a variety of dishes you can have a healthy, balanced, nutritional diet
that does not contain meat.
