mtfjourney Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hey Everybody, I'm a newbie to the Vegan world and I have a few questions for the "Vegan Vets" out there. I've been working out for a while and I've seen some pretty awesome results when I was a meat eater. Now that I'm vegan I kind of lost on what to do about protein intake. So I guess I'm asking this, does it matter how much protein I consume? Or is the guidelines on how much protein you should have is over-hyped. Will I be able to maintain my muscle mass as long as I train properly and eat all natural foods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetVoices Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yes the amount of protein you consume matters.. Building Muscle on a plant-based Diet <-- a great read, includes list of high-protein foods for vegans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb123 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 also agree amt. matters. I personally aim for at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, so around 130-135g daily for me. I also supplement with protein shakes like SunWarrior and Vega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
