Protein eating plant based, how important is it?
I was plant based for 5 years and loved it, although I felt like I was lacking protein and was eating a lot more carbs than any other macro. I have noticed some physical body changes like more fat on my body and reduced muscle, although this could just be that I’m in my 30’s now (I’m a female).
How important do you find protein? Is it more important to eat a diverse amount of plant foods and foods with a good amino acid profile vs worrying about the protein amount? Any in here that has been working out and is successfully toning your body and losing fat eating this way?
