how much protein does vegan need
Dr. Michael Greger answers the question that vegans and vegetarians hear all the time. In his video below, he breaks down how much protein we need versus how much protein we eat. The average recommended intake of protein is 42 grams a day. Non-vegetarians eat way more than that (almost 80 grams), but so does everyone else. Vegetarians and vegans actually average 70% more protein than they need every day (over 70 grams).
