best protein

As a Vegan I get a lot of attention on the subject of protein intake. I always hear ”Where do your get your protein?” or ”You will never gain muscles on your diet, there is no protein!”. I have found that a lot of the American population gets their needed protein and more everyday, but not always in the healthiest versions. Animal products (Beef, eggs, lactose) are usually high in protein, but are equally high in calories and even higher in cholesterol-forming saturated fats! Which if not regulated can effect your physique. Thats why I choose Plant Based foods, they contain a variety of amino acids that help to build complete proteins in the body. Per ounce their percentage of protein to amount of total calories is way higher than most animal products. Here are five Plant based foods that have more protein then Beef ounce for ounce.
