Understanding the importance of Protein in a Vegan Diet

There are three essential macronutrients: carbohydrates, fat, and protein, these play a crucial role in various physiological functions in the body.

Protein is divided into two categories, essential and non-essential amino acids, non-essential amino acids are produced naturally by the body, leaving essential amino acids being required in the diet. When protein is consumed in the diet, it is broken down into its amino acids which are then absorbed by the body, where it is then used to create new proteins that fulfill our body's needs. These proteins are involved in three broad categories: structural, regulatory, and energetic.

Protein is necessary for supporting muscle growth, repair, and overall health. Research shows that plant-based foods can provide all of the vital amino acids, and protein required for optimal health and exercise performance, even for long endurance athletes such as Scott Jurek who is a record-holding ultramarathoner and powerful weight lifting champions such as Patrick Baboumian who is a power lifting world record holder and winner of Germany's Strongest Man.

Exploring Plant-Based Protein Sources for Vegans

Vegetable-based proteins such as beans, lentils, wholegrains, tofu, tempeh, seitan, vegetables, fruits, greens, and nuts/seeds are all rich in amino acids and it is suggested that when enough calories of these plant foods are consumed it is easily to fulfill your protein requirements.

Additionally, plant-based proteins offer the health benefits of being lower in saturated fat and cholesterol when compared to animal protein sources, which is extremely important for optimal blood flow to your muscles to achieve their their full potential during exercise.

To create a nutritious and balanced plant-based high protein meal plan to support your best performance, you'll need to combine high protein plant-based foods whilst keeping saturated fats low, which means adopting a whole food approach as processed foods are often laden with oils and fats which can impair your performance.

How Much Protein Do You Need: How Much Is In The Meal Plans

The recommended daily intake of protein for adults is approximately 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.

That would mean if you weigh 60kg the recommended daily intake of protein would be around 48 grams.

However, for individuals who engage in regular exercise, are pregnant, over 60, or have specific dietary requirements, it may be necessary to consume slightly more protein to support muscle repair and growth.

Active individuals and athletes require a higher intake of protein, usually ranging from 1g to 1.2g per kilogram of body weight. That would mean if you weighed 75kg if looking at 1.2g, you would need to include around 90g of protein a day.

This level of protein naturally accompanies an increased calorie intake and the need for additional energy to fuel physical activity.

Therefore, when creating a plant-based high protein meal plan to stay healthy and support exercise, it is important to ensure that each meal contains a sufficient amount of high-quality plant-based protein.
