Thought this was interesting….i’ve always thought there was so much lacking protein-wise in a meatless diet.
Vegan bodybuilder Giacomo Marchese talks about the false hype about protein, where he gets his plant-based protein, and his forthcoming documentary, Vegan Brothers in Iron.
Here’s a little excerpt from Giacomo’s blog:
“Whether you are a Vegan or a Raw Foodist…you will get your fill of protein. If you’re a bodybuilder and you indulge in the theory of excessively high protein intake and caloric deficit, you can do it. It’s actually far more efficient, and healthier as vegan foods have zero cholesterol, for you to use vegan protein powders because many of these vegan sources are micronutrient powerhouses. Spirulina and Chlorella, for example, are superfoods. One serving of either equates to 35 servings of vegetables in regards to vitamin and mineral content. Even small amounts will benefit you immensely!”
