Protein

The #1 question I get asked is where do you get your protein? Well... protein is a nutrient not only found in meant contrary to what some may think. Protein is found in all foods. The fact is I am able to achieve my protein levels faster then non-vegan peeps.

Protein requirements are 0.9 grams of protein for every kilogram you weigh. do you know how much kilograms you weigh? For example if you weigh 150 pounds

150/2.2=68.1kg

Then you figure out your protein requirements by multiplying your kg by 0.9

68.1*0.9=61.29

So..... my requirements are 61 grams of protein.
