Had a talk today with a guy who was sort of offended for some reason about me not eating animal products and lifting weight. He said I’d never get enough protein (never heard that one before!!!). Because lentils aren’t a thing in a world of steaks.

Anyway he said that you need at least 200 grams of protein each day when you lift but that’s of course nonsense. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, but you don’t need to either.

I’m averaging around 110-140 grams a day and I’m doing fine at ±80kg body weight.

    All this can just be accounted for with a bit of extra effort to read about where to get the best plant based sources of protein. It’s not particularly hard. Most vegan body builders end up getting pretty interested in the different sources and combinations of proteins. It’s all great knowledge to have in general.
