Vegan protein powder tastes pretty great. I use a Costco brand. You can add it to almost any meal. If you are lifting weights, its almost impossible to get enough vegan sources of protein to meet the 1g / 1 lb of body weight that is usually recommended. Actually, if anyone knows how to put together 150g+ protein /day on a vegan diet in under 2100 calories I would be interested. I would switch over at least a few of m…

> 1g / 1 lb Why would you mix units like this?!

Food macronutrients are labeled in grams, scales are in pounds. So this is the most natural way to purvey the information without needing conversions

This is the standard way this is discussed. Most people aim for 1 gram of protein per 1 lb of body weight.

1. Because it lines up well with the portion size

2. It’s not like you’re using the same scale to weigh yourself and the protein powder

Because the recommended amount of grams of protein you need per day for body building is usually around 1g of protein for every 1 pound of bodyweight

Most people perform the calculation on lean mass. Overweight people don’t need 300g of protein, for example.

Yeah but I mean why mix imperial and metric units in the same situation? Seems mind-bending and error-prone.

Because (at least in the US) we weigh ourselves in pounds and weigh protein by the gram. That’s kinda of the long and the short of it lol.

It’s just a common heuristic. It’s not like it’s used for much other than a staring point for how much protein to consume.

I'm from Canada we mix both units all the time, or maybe its just me. But I think this has to do with most foods being labeled with grams, its easier to add in decimal. But most people weigh themselves in lbs.

And you get just as much if not more nutrients from plant based meals?

Plant based diets are well known to be deficient in numerous essential nutrients.

Mostly amino acids. There are simple rules to follow to ensure you get complete nutrition and amino acid profiles. Otherwise what nutrients are you really missing?
