can vegans get enough protein in their diet
Just like everybody else, vegetarians and vegans need complete protein to get all the essential amino acids, so their bodies don't fall into a negative protein balance - otherwise known as starvation. Fortunately, it's easy to get more than enough protein in a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you've heard otherwise, it's simply not true. The USDA recommends 56 grams of protein a day for a man age 40 weighing 160 lb, and 46 grams of protein for women - based on a 40 yr old woman who weighs 140 lb.
